Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) is well established in biology and medicine for non-contact, wide-field imaging of optical properties and 3D topography. Especially for turbid media with displaced, tilted or irregularly shaped surfaces, the reliable quantitative measurement of diffuse reflectance requires efficient calibration and correction methods. In this work, we present the implementation of a generic and hardware independent calibration routine for SFDI setups based on the so-called pinhole camera model for both projection and detection.

The resolution revolution has increasingly enabled single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstructions of previously inaccessible systems, including membrane proteins-a category that constitutes a disproportionate share of drug targets. We present a protocol for using density-guided molecular dynamics simulations to automatically refine atomistic models into membrane protein cryo-EM maps. Using adaptive force density-guided simulations as implemented in the GROMACS molecular dynamics package, we show how automated model refinement of a membrane protein is achieved without the need to manually tune the fitting force ad hoc.

The acquisition of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) data and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data from the brain can be integrated into a single measurement, which offers the possibility to determine orientation-dependent (tensorial) perfusion parameters in addition to established IVIM and DTI parameters. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of such a protocol with a clinically feasible scan time below 6 min and to use a model-selection approach to find a set of DTI and IVIM tensor parameters that most adequately describes the acquired data. Diffusion-weighted images of the brain were acquired at 3 T in 20 elderly participants with cerebral small vessel disease using a multiband echoplanar imaging sequence with 15 b-values between 0 and 1000 s/mm and six non-collinear diffusion gradient directions for each b-value.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) aims to evaluate the distribution of magnetic susceptibility from magnetic resonance phase measurements by solving the ill-conditioned dipole inversion problem. Removing the artifacts and preserving the anisotropy of tissue susceptibility simultaneously is still a challenge in QSM. To deal with this issue, a novel k-QSM network is proposed to resolve dipole inversion issues in QSM reconstruction.
