The objective of this study was to determine if three-dimensional (3D) Haralick co-occurrence texture measures calculated from low-resolution CT images of trabecular bone correlate with 3D structural indices measured from high-resolution CT images. Thirty-three cubical regions of trabecular bone from human calcanei were analyzed using images obtained from a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scanner. 3D measures of bone architecture were calculated. The original images were then subsampled by factors of 5, 10, 15, and 20, and 3D texture features were calculated for each set of subsampled images. Linear regression models showed that co-occurrence texture features were significantly correlated with structural indices. Over 90% of the variation in three different structural indices was explained in two-variable regression models using texture features as predictors when the voxel side length was reduced by a factor of 10. Texture features calculated from clinical images may increase our ability to obtain trabecular bone architectural information when high-resolution images are unobtainable.

Accurate detection of fabric defects is crucial for quality control in the textile industry. However, the task of fabric defect detection remains highly challenging due to the complex textures and diverse defect patterns. To address the issues of inaccurate localization and false positives caused by complex textures and varying defect sizes, this paper proposes an improved YOLOv8-based fabric defect detection method.

Flat bands have empowered novel phenomena such as robust canalization with strong localization, high-collimation and low-loss propagation. However, the spatial symmetry protection in photonic or acoustic lattices naturally forces flat bands to manifest in pairs aligned at an inherently specific angle, resulting in a fixed bidirectional canalization. Here, we report an acoustic flat-band metasurface, allowing not only unidirectional canalization at all in-plane angles but also robust tunability in band alignment.

Inference using deep neural networks on mobile devices has been an active area of research in recent years. The design of a deep learning inference framework targeted for mobile devices needs to consider various factors, such as the limited computational capacity of the devices, low power budget, varied memory access methods, and I/O bus bandwidth governed by the underlying processor's architecture. Furthermore, integrating an inference framework with time-sensitive applications - such as games and video-based software to perform tasks like ray tracing denoising and video processing - introduces the need to minimize data movement between processors and increase data locality in the target processor.

Background: Renal hemangioblastoma (HB) is a rare extra-central nervous system (CNS) tumor, typically not linked to Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Syndrome, and its underlying genetic drivers and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular genetic changes of primary renal hemangioblastomas.
Methods: Herein, the clinical, imaging, clinicopathological features, and immunophenotype in 3 cases of renal HB were retrospectively analyzed.

The assessment of lymph node (LN) involvement with clinical imaging is a key factor in cancer staging. Node Reporting and Data System 1.0 (Node-RADS) was introduced in 2021 as a new system specifically tailored for classifying and reporting LNs on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging scans.
