The scientific instrumentation onboard the Italian satellite for x-ray astronomy (SAX) foresees x-ray imaging concentrators operating in the 0.1-10-keV energy range with a spatial resolution of 1 min of arc. The optics is composed of thirty confocal-nested very thin double-cone mirrors. To achieve good optical quality and to allow the construction of several concentrators at an acceptable cost, a replica technique by electroforming the mirrors from masters is used. This paper presents the results obtained from a set of electroformed mirrors mounted on a concentrator prototype.

DeepLabv3 + method for detecting and segmenting apical lesions on panoramic radiography.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Yeditepe University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to apply the DeepLabv3 + model and compare it with the U-Net model in terms of detecting and segmenting apical lesions on panoramic radiography.
Methods: 260 panoramic images that contain apical lesions in different regions were collected and randomly divided into training and test datasets. All images were manually annotated for apical lesions using Computer Vision Annotation Tool software by two independent dental radiologists and a master reviewer.
Maxillary canting and anatomical variation relevant to Le Fort I osteotomy: a morphometric study using cone beam computed tomography.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Purpose: To investigate the anatomical variations and measure the distances between surgically relevant structures in the maxilla associated with Le Fort I osteotomy in patients with maxillary canting using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: CBCT scans of 63 patients (21 males and 42 females) with maxillary canting who were indicated for orthognathic surgical planning were retrospectively investigated and analyzed. The distances of the relevant anatomical structures, including the descending palatine artery, pterygomaxillary junction, infraorbital foramen, and nasolacrimal duct opening, were measured with the key anatomical landmarks to evaluate their variations.
Usefulness of a novel density measurement drill for evaluating cancellous bone density: correlation between CT value and drilling torque value in bovine ribs.

Department of Advanced Prosthodontics, Hiroshima University Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, 1-2-3 Kasumi, Minami-ku, Hiroshima City, 734-8553, Hiroshima, Japan.
Purpose: The study aimed to examine the usefulness of a novel density measurement drill for evaluating cancellous bone density by examining the correlation between computed tomography (CT)-based Misch bone density classification and drilling torque value.
Methods: Bovine ribs were used as the drilling sites for implant placement. Multidetector CT (MDCT) was performed after contrast materials were attached to the drilling sites.
Inter-Observer Processing and Measurement Error Are Low for 2D Dental Measurements on Shared microCT Scans.

Objectives: Sharing micro-computed tomographic (μCT) scans of teeth increases data accessibility and reduces the need for repeated scans of any given specimen. However, the use of the same TIFF stacks or DICOMs by multiple individuals has the potential to introduce new sources of error. Here, we explore whether use of the same μCT scans by different persons produces comparable results.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma that extremely rarely localises to the mediastinum. A 34-year-old female with chronic arthralgia, sicca and rash was found to have a well-demarcated mediastinal cystic mass with equivocal nodular enhancement within the cystic wall on chest CT during a workup for Sjögren's syndrome. Subsequent Ga-Pentixafor-PET/CT revealed focal uptake increase within the cystic capsule.
