Motion aftereffects are normally tested in regions of the visual field that have been directly exposed to motion (local or concrete MAEs). We compared concrete MAEs with remote or phantom MAEs, in which motion is perceived in regions not previously adapted to motion. Our aim was to study the spatial dependencies and spatiotemporal tuning of phantom MAEs generated by radially expanding stimuli. For concrete and phantom MAEs, peripheral stimuli generated stronger aftereffects than central stimuli. Concrete MAEs display temporal frequency tuning, while phantom MAEs do not show categorical temporal frequency or velocity tuning. We found that subjects may use different response strategies to determine motion direction when presented with different stimulus sizes. In some subjects, as adapting stimulus size increased, phantom MAE strength increased while the concrete MAE strength decreased; in other subjects, the opposite effects were observed. We hypothesise that these opposing findings reflect interplay between the adaptation of global motion sensors and local motion sensors with inhibitory interconnections.

Purpose: Kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography (kVCBCT)-guided adaptive radiation therapy (ART) uses daily deformed CT (dCT), which is generated automatically through deformable registration methods. These registration methods may perform poorly in reproducing volumes of the target organ, rectum, and bladder during treatment. We analyzed the registration errors between the daily kVCBCTs and corresponding dCTs for these organs using the default optical flow algorithm and two registration procedures.

Purpose: An ocular applicator that fits a commercial proton snout with an upstream range shifter to allow for treatments with sharp lateral penumbra is described.
Materials And Methods: The validation of the ocular applicator consisted of a comparison of range, depth doses (Bragg peaks and spread out Bragg peaks), point doses, and 2-D lateral profiles. Measurements were made for three field sizes, 1.

Treatment of ocular tumors on dedicated scattering-based proton therapy systems is standard afforded due to sharp lateral and distal penumbras. However, most newer proton therapy centers provide pencil beam scanning treatments. In this paper, we present a pencil beam scanning (PBS)-based ocular treatment solution.

Background: Ante-inclination (AI) of the cup is a key component of the combined sagittal index (CSI) for predicting joint stability after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to (1) validate a mathematical algorithm relating AI to radiographic anteversion (RA), radiographic inclination (RI), and pelvic tilt (PT); (2) convert the AI criterion of the CSI into the coronal functional safe zone (CFSZ) and explore the influences of standing-to-sitting pelvic motion (PM) and pelvic incidence (PI) on the CFSZ; and (3) attempt to locate a universal cup orientation that always fulfills the AI criterion of the CSI for all patients.
Methods: In the first phase, a phantom pelvis was designed to simulate a range of PT values, and an acetabular cup was implanted with different RA, RI, and PT settings using a robot-assisted technique and scanned using the EOS imaging system.

Purpose: We present a novel background tissue phase removing method, called anatomical phase extraction (APE), and to investigate the accuracy of temperature estimation and capability of reducing background artifacts compared with the conventional referenceless methods.
Methods: Susceptibility variance was acquired by subtracting pretreatment baseline images taken at different locations (nine pretreatment baselines are acquired and called to ). The susceptibility phase data was obtained using the Wiener deconvolution algorithm.
