Diffuse-type giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a rare, benign, yet locally aggressive soft tissue tumor commonly affecting the hand. This case report presents a 55-year-old male with a 5-year history of GCTTS in the flexor tendon sheath of the long finger. MRI played a critical role in both diagnosis and surgical planning, revealing key features such as the tumor's 10 cm length, hemosiderin deposition, and blooming artifacts.

Reliability and Accuracy of the Fitbit Charge 4 Photoplethysmography Heart Rate Sensor in Ecological Conditions: Validation Study.

ULR 7369 - URePSSS - Unité de Recherche Pluridisciplinaire Sport Santé Société, Univ. Littoral Côte d'Opale, Univ. Lille, Univ. Artois, 189b, Avenue Maurice Schumann, Centre Universitaire des Darses, Dunkerque, 59375, France, 33 328237357.

Background: Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors allow for continuous heart rate (HR) measurement without the inconveniences of wearing a chest belt. Although green light PPG technology reduces HR measurement motion artifacts, only a limited number of studies have investigated the reliability and accuracy of wearables in non-laboratory-controlled conditions with actual specific and various physical activity movements.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to (1) assess the reliability and accuracy of the PPG-based HR sensor of the Fitbit Charge 4 (FC4) in ecological conditions and (2) quantify the potential variability caused by the nature of activities.

Convergent-Diffusion Denoising Model for multi-scenario CT Image Reconstruction.

A generic and versatile CT Image Reconstruction (CTIR) scheme can efficiently mitigate imaging noise resulting from inherent physical limitations, substantially bolstering the dependability of CT imaging diagnostics across a wider spectrum of patient cases. Current CTIR techniques often concentrate on distinct areas such as Low-Dose CT denoising (LDCTD), Sparse-View CT reconstruction (SVCTR), and Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR). Nevertheless, due to the intricate nature of multi-scenario CTIR, these techniques frequently narrow their focus to specific tasks, resulting in limited generalization capabilities for diverse scenarios.

High-resolution awake mouse fMRI at 14 tesla.

Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, United States.

High-resolution awake mouse functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) remains challenging despite extensive efforts to address motion-induced artifacts and stress. This study introduces an implantable radio frequency (RF) surface coil design that minimizes image distortion caused by the air/tissue interface of mouse brains while simultaneously serving as a headpost for fixation during scanning. Furthermore, this study provides a thorough acclimation method used to accustom animals to the MRI environment minimizing motion-induced artifacts.

Background: Magnetization transfer (MT) MRI is sensitive to the presence of macromolecules, including amyloid-beta, and previous work suggests that it may be useful for discriminating patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from healthy controls. In this study, we investigated if quantitative MT (qMT) is capable of detecting the amyloid concentration in a preclinical cohort.

Method: We recruited 14 subjects with a clinical dementia rating of 0 from NYU's ADRC cohort (7 male, mean age 74, 6 amyloid-negative).
