The implementation of the Timepix complementary metal oxide semiconductor pixel detector in velocity map slice imaging is presented. This new detector approach eliminates the need for gating the imaging detector. In time-of-flight mode, the detector returns the impact position and the time-of-flight of charged particles with 12.5 ns resolution and a dynamic range of about 100 μs. The implementation of the Timepix detector in combination with a microchannel plate additionally allows for high spatial resolution information via center-of-mass centroiding. Here, the detector was applied to study the photodissociation of NO(2) at 452 nm. The energy resolution observed in the experiment was ΔE/E=0.05 and is limited by the experimental setup rather than by the detector assembly. All together, this new compact detector assembly is well-suited for slice imaging and is a promising tool for imaging studies in atomic and molecular physics research.

This study evaluated the performance of a deep-learning-based model that predicted cooking loss in the semispinalis capitis (SC) muscle of pork butts using hyperspectral images captured 24 h postmortem. To overcome low-scale samples, 70 pork butts were used with pixel-based data augmentation. Principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares regression (PLSR) models for predicting cooking loss in SC muscle showed higher R values with multiplicative signal correction, while the first derivative resulted in a lower root mean square error (RMSE).

: Accurate volumetric assessment of lung nodules is an essential element of low-dose lung cancer screening programs. Current guidance recommends applying specific thresholds to measured nodule volume to make the following clinical decisions. In reality, however, CT scans often have heterogeneous slice thickness which is known to adversely impact the accuracy of nodule volume assessment.

Scapular morphological attributes show promise as prognostic indicators of retear following rotator cuff repair. Current evaluation techniques using single-slice magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) are, however, prone to error, while more accurate computed tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional techniques, are limited by cost and radiation exposure. In this study we propose deep learning-based methods that enable automatic scapular morphological analysis from diagnostic MRI despite the anisotropic resolution and reduced field of view, compared to CT.

Aim: To assess the diagnostic potential of a noncoronary-dedicated pre-TAVR CT angiography (CTA) conducted as a prospective ECG-gated scan without premedication and standard cardiac reconstructions in evaluating bystander coronary artery disease (CAD) against invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 232 patients who underwent both CTA and ICA as part of their pre-TAVR evaluation. Exclusion criteria included prior stent, pacemaker, coronary artery bypass, or valve surgery.

Microtia, along with trauma, represents one of the main causes of external ear malformation. Different clinical techniques were developed for the reconstruction of the auricle, but they all have some drawbacks. This work is focused on the development of an innovative 3D porous scaffold, printed by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and based on laser-scanned images of the healthy contralateral ear of the patient.
