A depth-enhanced three-dimensional integral imaging system with electrically variable image planes is proposed. For implementing the variable image planes, polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal (PDLC) films and a projector are adopted as a new display system in the integral imaging. Since the transparencies of PDLC films are electrically controllable, we can make each film diffuse the projected light successively with a different depth from the lens array. As a result, the proposed method enables control of the location of image planes electrically and enhances the depth. The principle of the proposed method is described, and experimental results are also presented.

Two-stage surgery with oblique lateral interbody fusion and posterior fixation in degenerative scoliosis with lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a feasible option to prevent postoperative coronal decompensation.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aims to introduce a two-stage surgical procedure, namely oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), for spinal disorders treatment. Furthermore, clinical outcomes and imaging results are analyzed between OLIF with posterior fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with fixation for lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
Methods: 146 patients with type 2 DLS who underwent OLIF or PLIF between January 2019 and November 2023 were included.
Microscopic mapping of infrared modulated photoluminescence spectra with a spatial resolution of ∼2 μm.

Infrared photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with micron-scale spatial resolution is essential for the optoelectronic characterization of narrow-gap microstructures and single defects, yet it poses significant challenges due to the exceedingly weak PL signal and strong background thermal emission. This work introduces an infrared micro-PL (μPL) mapping system that achieves a spatial resolution of ∼2 μm, leveraging the inherent advantages of the step-scan Fourier transform infrared spectrometer-based modulated PL technique in the mid- and far-infrared regions. The configuration of the experimental system is described, and a theoretical upper limit of spatial resolution is derived to be about 1.

Background: Most studies on pelvic floor muscle morphology (dimensions, shape) and its relationship with patient characteristic risk factors of pelvic floor dysfunction (demographics, medical history) have largely pertained to White individuals with vaginas. There is a need to establish normative data on pelvic floor muscle anatomy and identify morphological differences in racially diverse cohorts that may play a role in racial differences in the prevalence and pathophysiology of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Objective: (s): This study aimed to compare levator ani muscle thickness and levator hiatal morphology and their association with patient characteristics, between asymptomatic Black and White women-identifying individuals with a vagina of reproductive age.
Planning transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation in the dysfunctional native RVOT: A semi-automated pipeline for dynamic analysis based on 4D-CT imaging.

Background And Objective: Dysfunction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a common long-term complication following surgical repair in patients with congenital heart disease. Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) offers a viable alternative to surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) for treating pulmonary regurgitation but not all RVOT anatomies are suitable for TPVI. To identify a suitable landing zone (LZ) for TPVI, three-dimensional multiphase (4D) computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate the size, shape, and dynamic behavior of the RVOT throughout the cardiac cycle.

Endovascular interventions are procedures designed to diagnose and treat vascular diseases, using catheters to navigate inside arteries and veins. Thanks to their minimal invasiveness, they offer many benefits, such as reduced pain and hospital stays, but also present many challenges for clinicians, as they require specialized training and heavy use of X-rays. This is particularly relevant when accessing (i.
