AI Article Synopsis
- Hybrid medical imaging scanners enable simultaneous imaging with different techniques, offering comprehensive anatomical and functional information while the patient remains in the same position.
- Traditional methods of capturing proton MRI for lung anatomy and hyperpolarised gas MRI for lung function necessitated separate breath-hold exams, resulting in images that were not aligned in time or space.
- The new approach showcases the ability to acquire lung images from two different nuclei concurrently, demonstrating high consistency in both timing and spatial alignment that is not achievable with traditional scanning methods.
Article Abstract
The development of hybrid medical imaging scanners has allowed imaging with different detection modalities at the same time, providing different anatomical and functional information within the same physiological time course with the patient in the same position. Until now, the acquisition of proton MRI of lung anatomy and hyperpolarised gas MRI of lung function required separate breath-hold examinations, meaning that the images were not spatially registered or temporally synchronised. We demonstrate the spatially registered concurrent acquisition of lung images from two different nuclei in vivo. The temporal and spatial registration of these images is demonstrated by a high degree of mutual consistency that is impossible to achieve in separate scans and breath holds.

In vertebrates, skeletal muscle comprises fast and slow fibers. Slow and fast muscle cells in fish are spatially segregated; slow muscle cells are located only in a superficial region, and comprise a small fraction of the total muscle cell mass. Slow muscles support low-speed, low-force movements, while fast muscles are responsible for high-speed, high-force movements.

This study presents an advanced methodology for 3D heart reconstruction using a combination of deep learning models and computational techniques, addressing critical challenges in cardiac modeling and segmentation. A multi-dataset approach was employed, including data from the UK Biobank, MICCAI Multi-Modality Whole Heart Segmentation (MM-WHS) challenge, and clinical datasets of congenital heart disease. Preprocessing steps involved segmentation, intensity normalization, and mesh generation, while the reconstruction was performed using a blend of statistical shape modeling (SSM), graph convolutional networks (GCNs), and progressive GANs.

With their close anatomical relationship, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), mandibular ramus, skull base, ear, and infratemporal fossa make up a complex structure that may collectively be referred to as the 'TMJ and adjacent structures complex' (TASC). This study presents the neoplasms that may be encountered in the TASC region and their classification, which may be useful for the surgical treatment. Data of 1022 consecutive patients treated with resection of TASC neoplasms from May 2000 to October 2022 were reviewed.

Objective: Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) were once considered inoperable. Microsurgical resection now represents a valuable option for treating patients with hemorrhagic or symptomatic lesions. The aim of this study was to provide a practical guide for surgical planning by analyzing postoperative neurological and functional outcomes.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.
