For the first time the bremsstrahlung effect was studied experimentally in the spectral region of 6.5-10 nm with 300-2000 eV electron scattering on Ar and Kr atoms. The isochromatic curves displayed maxima at electron energies of approximately = 0.7 keV (Ar) and approximately =1 keV (Kr); their positions are almost independent of the radiation wavelength in the range studied. These experimental data cannot be treated in the framework of theory based on the first Born approximation. A phenomenological modification of the quasiclassical (soft-photon) approximation is proposed which gives a qualitative treatment of data.

Impact of Deep Learning-Based Image Reconstruction on Tumor Visibility and Diagnostic Confidence in Computed Tomography.

Deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) has shown potential to enhance computed tomography (CT) image quality, but its impact on tumor visibility and adoption among radiologists with varying experience levels remains unclear. This study compared the performance of two deep learning-based image reconstruction methods, DLIR and Pixelshine, an adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-volume (ASIR-V) method, and filtered back projection (FBP) across 33 contrast-enhanced CT staging examinations, evaluated by 20-24 radiologists. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured for tumor and surrounding organ tissues across DLIR (Low, Medium, High), Pixelshine (Soft, Ultrasoft), ASIR-V (30-100%), and FBP.

In the field of quantitative X-ray analysis techniques, such as electron probe microanalysis, precise knowledge of fundamental parameters is crucial. Especially, the accurate determination of photon mass attenuation coefficients is essential to perform correct elemental quantification. While the widely used databases offer agreement for the hard X-ray range, significant differences arise for lower photon energies.

A combined experimental and theoretical study of the structural correlations in moderately concentrated suspensions of all-DNA dendrimers of the second generation (G2) with controlled scaffold rigidity is reported here. Small-angle X-ray scattering experiments in concentrated aqueous saline solutions of stiff all-DNA G2 dendritic constructs reveal a novel anomalous liquid-like phase behavior which is reflected in the calculated structure factors as a two-step increase at low scattering wave vectors. By developing a new design strategy for adjusting the particle's internal flexibility based on site-selective incorporation of single-stranded DNA linkers into the dendritic scaffold, it is shown that this unconventional type of self-organization is strongly contingent on the dendrimer's stiffness.

The brain is an ultra-soft viscoelastic matrix. Sub-kPa hydrogels match the brain's mechanical properties but are challenging to manipulate in an implantable format. We propose a simple fabrication and processing sequence, consisting of de-hydration, patterning, implantation, and re-hydration steps, to deliver brain-like hydrogel implants into the nervous tissue.

Objective: The ULTRA Registry is a national multicenter prospective study designed to assess aneurysm occlusion rates and safety profiles of the Target Ultra and Nano coils in the treatment of small intracranial aneurysms (IAs).
Methods: Patients with small (≤ 5 mm) ruptured and unruptured IAs were treated exclusively with Target Ultra and Nano coils. The primary endpoints were the initial rate of complete or near-complete aneurysm occlusion, aneurysm recurrence, and need for retreatment.
