    Abstract: Anti-CD3 mAbs are potent immunosuppressive agents used in clinical transplantation. However, the activation-related adverse side effects associated with these mAbs have prompted the development of less toxic Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 mAb therapies. At present, the functional and biochemical consequences of T cell exposure to Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 is unclear. In this study, the inventors have examined the early signaling events triggered by a Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 mAb. Like the mitogenic anti-CD3 mAb, Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 triggered changes in the TCR complex, including zeta chain tyrosine phosphorylation and ZAP-70 association. However, unlike the mitogenic anti-CD3 stimulation, Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 was ineffective at inducing the highly phosphorylated form of zeta (p23) and tyrosine phosphorylation of the associated ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase. This proximal signaling deficiency correlated with minimal PLC gamma -1 phosphorylation and failure to mobilize detectable Ca . Not only did biochemical signals delivered by Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 resemble altered peptide ligand signaling, but exposure of Th1 clones to Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3 also resulted in functional anergy. Finally, a bispecific anti-CD3 x anti-CD4 F(ab)'2 reconstituted early signal transduction events and induced proliferation, suggesting that defective association of 1ck with the TCR complex may underlie the observed signaling differences between the mitogenic and Fc receptor non-binding anti-CD3.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for reconstructing images from data obtained from scintillation events occurring within a projection space of a depth-of-interaction positron emission tomography system (10). The method includes the steps of identifying a segment of each depth-of-interaction detector (16) of respective pairs of depth-of-interaction detectors detecting the scintillation events of the data obtained within the projection space and estimating a set of sinograms from the data based upon a set of depth-independent point spread functions (40) of the identified segments of the respective pairs of depth-of-interaction detectors.

    Abstract: A method and system for the automated segmentation of the lung regions in thoracic CT scans includes construction of a cumulative gray level profile from pixels along the diagonal of each CT section image. The shape of this profile is used to identify a gray level threshold that is used to create a binary image. A contour detection algorithm generates a segmented thorax region. The trachea and main bronchi are segmented and eliminated from the segmented thorax region to prevent subsequent inclusion within the segmented lung regions. A grey level histogram is constructed to identify a second gray level threshold, which is applied to the segmented thorax region to create a binary image. If the two lungs regions are "fused", the anterior junction is then delineated and turned "off" in the binary image to separate the two lungs. The geometric properties of "holes" within the binary image are analyzed to identify holes caused by the diaphragm. Pixels within such holes are specifically excluded from the segmented lung regions. A contour detection algorithm is used to identify the outer margins of the largest "on" regions in the binary image (excluding pixels identified as diaphragm) to define the segmented lung regions. The segmented lung regions are modified by a rolling ball technique designed to incorporate pixels that may have been erroneously excluded by initial gray level thresholding. A second diaphragm analysis is performed to prevent the rolling ball technique from incorrectly including pixels that belong to the diaphragm.

    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium of computerized processing of chest images including obtaining digital first and second images of a chest and detecting rib edges in at least one of the first and second images. The rib edges are detected by correlating points in the at least one of the first and second images to plural rib edge models using a Hough transform to identify approximate rib edges in one of the images, and delineating actual rib edges derived from the identified approximate rib edges using a snake model. The method system and computer readable medium further include deriving the shift values using the actual rib edges and warping one of the first and second images to produce a warped image which is registered to the other of the first and second images based at least in part on the shift values.
