Respiratory motion during the collection of computed tomography (CT) projections generates structured artifacts and a loss of resolution that can render the scans unusable. This motion is problematic in scans of those patients who cannot suspend respiration, such as the very young or intubated patients. Here, the authors present an algorithm that can be used to reduce motion artifacts in CT scans caused by respiration. An approximate model for the effect of respiration is that the object cross section under interrogation experiences time-varying magnification and displacement along two axes. Using this model an exact filtered backprojection algorithm is derived for the case of parallel projections. The result is extended to generate an approximate reconstruction formula for fan-beam projections. Computer simulations and scans of phantoms on a commercial CT scanner validate the new reconstruction algorithms for parallel and fan-beam projections. Significant reduction in respiratory artifacts is demonstrated clinically when the motion model is satisfied. The method can be applied to projection data used in CT, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (ALK-RCC) is a rare molecularly defined tumor entity included in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors. It is characterized by rearrangement of the ALK gene with various fusion partner genes, which most commonly results in oncogenic fusion proteins leading to ALK activation.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old Chinese man underwent partial nephrectomy for a left renal tumor measuring 5 cm in diameter.

Background: Traditional radiographic measurements of distal phalanx (Pd) displacement based on the outer hoof wall are not useful for diagnosis of acute laminitis.
Objectives: We hypothesised that the distance between the inner hoof wall and Pd ('lamellar lucent zone'; LLZ) measured on lateromedial digital radiographs would be increased in horses with acute and subacute laminitis compared with healthy horses.

Article Synopsis
- For accurate augmented reality surgical navigation, precise camera calibration is essential, but high magnification can cause image blur and artifacts that lead to miscalibration.
- The study introduces a deep learning network designed to enhance both blur and resolution of images used for calibrating surgical microscopes, incorporating a unique encoding and decoding structure.
- Experimental results demonstrate that this method improves calibration performance, leading to a higher accuracy in augmented reality overlays compared to previous techniques.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how different combinations of endodontic sealers affect the bond strength of secondary obturation and the penetrability of the sealers in tooth treatments.
- Researchers used 48 mandibular premolars, dividing them into groups based on the primary and secondary sealers used (AH Plus and Bio-C Sealer) and tested their bond strength and penetrability with various methods, including microscopy.
- Results showed that the AHP/AHP and BCS/AHP combinations had the highest bond strength values, while AHP demonstrated better penetrability than BCS in both initial and retreatment scenarios.*

THz radiation has gained great importance due to its potential applications in a wide variety of fields. For this reason, continuous efforts have been made to develop technological tools for use in this versatile band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, we propose a reflecting device with long focusing performances in the sub-THz band, using a bimirror device in which the relative angle is mechanically adjusted with the displacement of one of the mirrors.
