A new mathematical appoach using the inverse Radon equation for restoration of images in problems of linear two-dimensional x-ray tomography is formulated. In this approach, Fourier transformation is not used, and it gives the chance to create the practical computing algorithms having more reliable mathematical substantiation. Results of software implementation show that for especially for low number of projections, the described approach performs better than standard X-ray tomographic reconstruction algorithms.

In this work, we investigate a new deep learning reconstruction method of blood flow velocity within deformed vessels from contrast enhanced X-ray projections and vessel geometry. The principle of the method is to perform linear or nonlinear dimension reductions on the Radon projections and on the mesh of the vessel. These low dimensional projections are then fused to obtain the velocity field in the vessel.

This study analyzes immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection, including asymptomatic cases, focusing on infection risks during the Omicron wave, particularly among high-risk healthcare workers. In the KoCo-Impf study, we monitored 6088 vaccinated participants in Munich aged 18 and above. From 13 May to 31 July 2022, 2351 participants were follow-uped.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential health effects of radon exposure beyond lung cancer, analyzing a large body of literature from various sources.
- Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 129 studies, focusing on different populations, including mine workers, children, and adults, to assess associations between radon exposure and various health outcomes.
- While most health outcomes showed no significant links to radon exposure, there were borderline positive associations with specific cancers, such as lymphohematological cancer in children and malignant melanoma in adults.

Radon is a known cause of lung cancer. Protective standards for radon exposure are derived largely from studies of working populations that are prone to healthy worker survivor bias. This bias can lead to under-protection of workers and is a key barrier to understanding health effects of many exposures.

Article Synopsis
- The spline reconstruction technique (SRT) is a new, fast algorithm for analyzing small-animal PET data, specifically comparing its performance to filtered back-projection (FBP) and Tera-Tomo 3D algorithms.
- The study involved quantifying glucose metabolism in mice using Patlak graphical analysis and analyzing PET images through specialized software, determining statistical significance with one-way ANOVA.
- The results indicated no significant differences in metabolic rate measurements between SRT and the other methods, suggesting that SRT could be a suitable alternative for future preclinical PET studies.
