In photoacoustic imaging, the signal attenuation is a well-known source of artifacts over the image reconstruction. It is recognized that this is caused by optical absorption effects and by the ultrasound broadband scattering. However, the sound dispersion is generally neglected, although it appears notably in thick or heterogeneous tissues. In the present Letter, we give an experimental example in which both attenuation and sound dispersion are dealt with as relevant features to be taken into consideration. An analytic perspective of these perturbations leads us to a waveform transport-model extension that provides a linear description of the induced acoustic effects. We find a near match between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results in the frequency domain. These outcomes approximate projection data that represent forward solutions in photoacoustic image reconstruction.

Objectives: To determine whether deep learning-based reconstructions of zero-echo-time (ZTE-DL) sequences enhance image quality and bone visualization in cervical spine MRI compared to traditional zero-echo-time (ZTE) techniques, and to assess the added value of ZTE-DL sequences alongside standard cervical spine MRI for comprehensive pathology evaluation.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 52 patients underwent cervical spine MRI using ZTE, ZTE-DL, and T2-weighted 3D sequences on a 1.5-Tesla scanner.

Purpose: Given the potential role of nasolacrimal duct (NLD) morphometry in the aetiology of primary acquired obstructions, it is imperative that clinicians have access to detailed anatomical information. The aim of this study was to determine normative data on nasolacrimal duct morphometry in the Turkish population sample and to provide guidelines for clinicians.

Methods: The study included retrospectively computed tomography images of a healthy Turkish population sample of 151 individuals, 79 of whom were female and 72 of whom were male.

Background: To define optimal parameters for the evaluation of vessel visibility in intracranial stents (ICS) and flow diverters (FD) using photon-counting detector computed tomography angiography (PCD-CTA) with spectral reconstructions.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with implanted ICS or FD, who received a PCD-CTA between April 2023 and March 2024. Polyenergetic, virtual monoenergetic, pure lumen, and iodine reconstructions with different keV levels (40, 60, and 80) and reconstruction kernels (body vascular [Bv]48, Bv56, Bv64, Bv72, and Bv76) were evaluated by two radiologists with regions of interests and Likert scales.

Indian agriculture is vital sector in the country's economy, providing employment and sustenance to millions of farmers. However, Plant diseases are a serious risk to crop yields and farmers' livelihoods. Traditional plant disease diagnosis methods rely heavily on human expertise, which can lead to inaccuracies due to the invisible nature of early disease symptoms and the labor-intensive process, making them inefficient for large-scale agricultural management.

This study aims to evaluate the potential enhancement in implant classification performance achieved by incorporating artificially generated images of commercially available products into a deep learning process of dental implant classification using panoramic X-ray images. To supplement an existing dataset of 7,946 in vivo dental implant images, a three-dimensional scanner was employed to create implant surface models. Subsequently, implant surface models were used to generate two-dimensional X-ray images, which were compiled along with original images to create a comprehensive dataset.
