We propose a method to create a dual tensor atlas from multiple coregistered non-HARDI datasets. Increased angular resolution is ensured by random variations of subject positioning in the scanner and different local rotations applied during coregistration resulting in dispersed gradient directions. Simulations incorporating residual coregistration misalignments show that using 10 subjects should already double the angular resolution, even at a relatively low b-value of b = 1000 smm(-2). Commisural corpus callosum fibers reconstructed by our method closely approximated those found in a HARDI dataset.

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique widely utilized in the research of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), providing preliminary insights into the potential biological mechanisms underlying ASD. Deep learning techniques have demonstrated significant potential in the analysis of rs-fMRI. However, accurately distinguishing between healthy control group and ASD has been a longstanding challenge.

Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing central nervous system disease most commonly associated with aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-Ab) and Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies. These demyelinating disorders influence cortical excitability, which has been studied using advanced imaging techniques and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in our study.
Methods: This is a prospective study of 30 subjects.

In liquid crystal (LC) cells, the surface patterning directs the self-assembly of the uniaxial building blocks in the bulk, enabling the design of stimuli-response optical devices with various functionalities. The combination of different anchoring patterns at both substrates can lead to surface induced frustration, preventing a purely planar and defect-free configuration. In cells with crossed assembly of rotating anchoring patterns, elastic deformations allow to obtain a defect-free bulk configuration, but an electrical stimulus can induce disclination lines.

Dual-polarity readout is a simple and robust way to mitigate Nyquist ghosting in diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging but imposes doubled scan time. We here propose how dual-polarity readout can be implemented with little or no increase in scan time by exploiting an observed b-value dependence and signal averaging. The b-value dependence was confirmed in healthy volunteers with distinct ghosting at low b-values but of negligible magnitude at= 1000 s/mm.

Vision transformers have garnered substantial attention and attained impressive performance in image super-resolution tasks. Nevertheless, these networks face challenges associated with attention complexity and the effective capture of intricate, fine-grained details within images. These hurdles impede the efficient and scalable deployment of transformer models for image super-resolution tasks in real-world applications.
