Multi-Modality Medical Image Fusion Using Convolutional Neural Network and Contrast Pyramid
Medical image fusion techniques can fuse medical images from different morphologies to make the medical diagnosis more reliable and accurate, which play an increasingly important role in many clinical applications.To obtain a fused image with high visual quality and clear structure details, this paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) b
Integrated Analysis of Physiological, mRNA Sequencing, and miRNA Sequencing Data Reveals a Specific Mechanism for the Response to Continuous Cropping Obstacles in Pogostemon cablin Roots
Pogostemon cablin (patchouli) is a commercially important medicinal and industrial crop grown worldwide for its medicinal and aromatic properties.Patchoulol and pogostone, derived from the essential oil of patchouli, are considered valuable components in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.Due to its high application value in the clinic and
