Enhancing deep learning methods for brain metastasis detection through cross-technique annotations on SPACE MRI by Tassilo Wald, Benjamin Hamm, Julius C. Holzschuh, Rami El Shafie, Andreas Kudak, Balint Kovacs, Irada Pflüger, Bastian von Nettelbladt, Constantin Ulrich, Michael Anton Baumgartner, Philipp Vollmuth, Jürgen Debus, Klaus H. Maier-Hein, Thomas Welzel

“…Methods Retrospective contrast-enhanced (gadobutrol 0.1 mmol/kg) SPACE and MPRAGE data of 157 patients with BM were used, either annotated on MPRAGE resulting in normal annotation quality (NAQ) or on coregistered SPACE resulting in HAQ. Multiple DL methods were developed with NAQ or HAQ using either SPACE or MRPAGE images and evaluated on their detection performance using positive predictive value (PPV), sensitivity, and F1 score and on their delineation performance using volumetric Dice similarity coefficient, PPV, and sensitivity on one internal and four additional test datasets (660 patients). …”

La nécropole de Vannes/Darioritum : données inédites sur les pratiques funéraires armoricaines dans un secteur occupé du ier au ive s. apr. J.-C. by Annaïg Le Martret, Marie Grall, Vanessa Brunet

“…In this sector of the necropolis there is a tile coffer, an arrangement of amphora fragments and two tombs with a nailed container from the later period.However, the anthropological study also revealed examples of very young cremated subjects, once again confirming the multiplicity of burial practices. The tombs of older subjects, which yielded accompanying furnishings, come from a period between the last quarter of the 3rd and the 4th century AD, but the cross-referencing of a burial without accompanying items with a secondary cremation deposit in an ossuary vase makes it possible to establish that this funerary practice may have occurred before the middle of the 2nd century AD. …”
