Purpose: Respiratory-guided computed tomography (CT) typically employs breathing motion surrogates to feed image reconstruction or visual breathing coaching. Our study aimed to assess the impact of table movements and table sag on the breathing curves recorded in four-dimensional (4D) CT and deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) CT.
Methods: For breathing curve measurements, static and dynamic phantom scenarios were used.

Background And Purpose: In radiotherapy, the image quality of four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) is often degraded by artifacts resulting from breathing irregularities. Quality assurance mostly employ simplistic phantoms, not fully representing complexities and dynamics in patients. 3D-printing allows for design of highly customized phantoms.

A high-accuracy, continuous air temperature (Ta) dataset with high spatiotemporal resolution is essential for human health, disease prediction, and energy management. Existing datasets consider factors such as elevation, latitude, and surface temperature but insufficiently address meteorological and spatiotemporal factors, affecting accuracy. Additionally, no high-resolution dataset currently includes daily maximum (T), minimum (T), and mean (T) temperatures generated using a unified methodology.

Background: Aortic dilation is seen in pediatric/young adult patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and hemodynamic markers to predict aortic dilation are necessary for monitoring. Although promising hemodynamic metrics, such as abnormal wall shear stress (WSS) magnitude, have been proposed for adult BAV patients using four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance, those for pediatric BAV patients have less frequently been reported, partly due to scarcity of data to define normal WSS range. To circumvent this challenge, this study aims to investigate if a recently proposed 4D flow-based hemodynamic measurement, abnormal flow directionality, is associated with aortic dilation in pediatric/young adult BAV patients.
