Background Structured reporting (SR) in radiology is becoming increasingly necessary and has been recognized recently by major scientific societies. This study aims to build structured CT-based reports in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms during the staging phase in order to improve communication between the radiologist and members of multidisciplinary team...

Background Structured reporting (SR) in radiology is becoming increasingly necessary and has been recognized recently by major scientific societies. This study aims to build structured CT-based reports in colon cancer during the staging phase in order to improve communication between the radiologist, members of multidisciplinary teams and patients....

Background: Structured reporting (SR) in radiology has been recognized recently by major scientific societies. This study aims to build structured computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)-based reports in pancreatic adenocarcinoma during the staging phase in order to improve communication between the radiologist and members of multidis...

One of the main issues that healthcare is focusing on is the aging population, which will lead to an ever-increasing rise in all the costs associated with prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the spread of an active aging culture (patient empowerment) will be addressed through the availability of the Internet and mobile technologies th...

The rapid growth of social media such as blogs, forums, wiki, content communities and social networking, collectively known as social computing and based on the ideological and technological foundation of Web 2.0, has already found adoption in the area of project management. After introducing the basic concepts related to social computing and socia...

This paper aims to present the innovative Project Management approach of a large Italian ICT services organization. Such approach heavily leverages on knowledge in order to implement an Experience Factory, mainly devoted to gathering, improving and disseminating project management knowledge, not just lessons learned, at all levels of the organizati...

In this paper a new optimization algorithm is presented. It is inspired by the natural behavior of human or animal scout in exploring unknown geographical regions, and in their ability to exploit information coming from past experience. The algorithm has been applied to the maximum clique problem, and favorably compared with other more specialized...

Background and purpose: The Quantum Mind Breeder, QM, is a fine grain computing structure that directly emulates some of the functions of animal and human mind. This work presents the creation of the QM structure that emulates the generation of Evoked Potentials, EP. Materials and methods: QM system combines 4 groups of techniques: Analytical; Mach...

Background and purpose: Evoked Potential, EP is a visible manifestation of the self-organization of flocks of neural oscillator structures. Materials and methods: Design or engineering of a large structure that emulates EP in a classical way is out of the question, because of its sheer size and complexity. The Evolution and Association breeder EVA,...
