文摘This paper introduces a novel method for medical image retrieval and classification by integrating a multi-scale encoding mechanism with Vision Transformer(ViT)architectures and a dynamic multi-loss function.The multi-scale encoding significantly enhances the model’s ability to capture both fine-grained and global features,while the dynamic loss function adapts during training to optimize classification accuracy and retrieval performance.Our approach was evaluated on the ISIC-2018 and ChestX-ray14 datasets,yielding notable improvements.Specifically,on the ISIC-2018 dataset,our method achieves an F1-Score improvement of+4.84% compared to the standard ViT,with a precision increase of+5.46% for melanoma(MEL).On the ChestX-ray14 dataset,the method delivers an F1-Score improvement of 5.3%over the conventional ViT,with precision gains of+5.0% for pneumonia(PNEU)and+5.4%for fibrosis(FIB).Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms traditional CNN-based models and existing ViT variants,particularly in retrieving relevant medical cases and enhancing diagnostic accuracy.These findings highlight the potential of the proposedmethod for large-scalemedical image analysis,offering improved tools for clinical decision-making through superior classification and case comparison.
文摘Fluorescent probes have revolutionized optical imaging and biosensing by enabling real-time visualization, quantification, and tracking of biological processes at molecular and cellular levels. These probes, ranging from organic dyes to genetically encoded proteins and nanomaterials, provide unparalleled specificity, sensitivity, and multiplexing capabilities. However, challenges such as brightness, photobleaching, biocompatibility, and emission range continue to drive innovation in probe design and application. This special issue, comprising four review papers and seven original research studies, highlights cutting-edge advancements in fluorescent probe technologies and their transformative roles in super-resolution imaging, in vivo diagnostics, and cancer therapeutics.
