This paper uses a new tissue model, which incorporates random fluctuations of the tissue signal within the received ultrasound radio frequency (RF) echo signal, to propose an ultrasound image deconvolution algorithm for improving the quality of ultrasound images. Using this model, we propose a modified version of the classical regularization method which combines optimal Wiener filter and constrained least squares (LS) filtering algorithm for estimation of the tissue signal. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated by simulation. The deconvolved images can show significant improvement in both the speckle reduction and the contrast ratio.

We detail the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulations as well as a discussion of the challenges intrinsic to highly-calibratable system development. Following this, we share laboratory results based on the calculation of noise wave parameters utilising an over-constrained least squares approach.

Purpose: To develop a deep subspace learning network that can function across different pulse sequences.
Methods: A contrast-invariant component-by-component (CBC) network structure was developed and compared against previously reported spatiotemporal multicomponent (MC) structure for reconstructing MR Multitasking images. A total of 130, 167, and 16 subjects were imaged using T, T-T, and T-T- -fat fraction (FF) mapping sequences, respectively.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have escalated to levels of concern worldwide as emerging environmental pollutants. Increasing evidence suggests that non-antibiotic antimicrobial substances expedite the spread of ARGs. However, the drivers and mechanisms involved in the generation and spread of ARGs in the atmosphere remain inadequately elucidated.

Fitting rate constants to Hyperpolarized [1-C]Pyruvate (HP C13) MRI data is a promising approach for quantifying metabolism in vivo. Current methods typically fit each voxel of the dataset using a least-squares objective. With these methods, each voxel is considered independently, and the spatial relationships are not considered during fitting.

Aims: The aim of this study was to develop an ultra-short echo time 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method for imaging subacute myocardial infarction (MI) quantitatively and in an accelerated way. Here, we present novel 3D T- and T -weighted Multi-Band SWeep Imaging with Fourier Transform and Compressed Sensing (MB-SWIFT-CS) imaging of subacute MI in mice hearts .
Methods And Results: Relaxation time-weighted and under-sampled 3D MB-SWIFT-CS MRI were tested with manganese chloride (MnCl) phantom and mice MI model.
