Introduction: Single-volume reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) can be effectively used for aneurysm assessment and planning of endovascular embolization. Unfortunately, post-embolization follow-up angiographic images can be obscured by artifact. The dual-volume reconstruction technique was developed in order to reduce artifact and enhance the visualization of the aneurysm, the parent vessel and side branches, and endovascular devices. The purpose of this study was to compare the reliability of dual- vs single-volume reconstruction of 3D DSA in evaluation of follow-up images after endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms.
Method: Four cerebrovascular neurosurgeons independently and blindly reviewed 20 randomly selected dual-and single-volume reconstructions of 3D DSAs demonstrating cerebral aneurysms treated with primary coil embolization, stent-assisted coil embolization, or Pipeline embolization. Five images were repeated for each modality (single and dual volume) in order to assess intra-rater reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated as a measure of the overall inter-rater agreement. Cohen's kappa value was used to assess repeat measurement consistency for each rater.
Results: Overall inter-rater agreement using dual- and single-volume reconstruction was 0.81 and 0.75, respectively. Dual-volume reconstruction resulted in superior agreement in assessing location, occlusion status, position of aneurysm recanalization or residual, status of nearby branches, presence of coil migration and presence of intravascular devices (stent or Pipeline).
Conclusion: Three-dimensional reconstruction is an important complementary imaging technique in evaluating the angioarchitecture of aneurysms and recanalization after endovascular embolization. Dual-volume reconstruction imaging was associated with superior inter- and intra-rater reliability.

A 4π-field of view deep-learning-based collimator-less imaging system was designed with the Monte Carlo method and performance of the system was studied to verify the feasibility of system. A 4 × 4 × 4 voxelated single-volume GAGG(Ce) system and Co, Ba, Na, and Cs point sources at 2000 positions were modeled using Monte-Carlo N-particle transport code version 6 (MCNP6). Two types of the localized energy deposition acquired with a voxelated detector system with and without energy bins, were calculated.

To compare image quality and radiation exposure between super- and ultra-high-resolution helical and super-high-resolution volumetric CT of the temporal bone. Six cadaveric temporal bone specimens were used to evaluate key temporal bone structures using the following CT reconstruction and acquisition modes: helical and single-volume acquisition modes in super-high resolution (0.25-mm slice thickness, 1024 matrix), and helical mode in ultra-high resolution (0.

Plant roots are essential for water and nutrient absorption, anchoring, mechanical support, metabolite storage and interaction with the surrounding soil environment. A comprehensive understanding of root traits provides an opportunity to build ideal roots architectural system that provides improved stability and yield advantage in adverse target environments caused by soil quality degradation, climate change, etc. However, we hypothesize that quantitative indicators characterizing root system are still need to be supplemented.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of abdominal compression on tumour motion and target volume and to determine suitable planning target volume (PTV) margins for patients treated with lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) based on four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT).
Methods: Twenty-three patients diagnosed to have a peripheral pulmonary tumour were selected and divided into an all lesions group (group A), an upper middle lobe lesions group (group B), and a lower lobe lesions group (group C). Two 4DCT scans were performed in each patient, one with and one without abdominal compression.
