Background And Purpose: Recent developments in treatment of ischemic stroke increased importance of defining limits of ischemic insult by imaging. Some studies postulated that CTP is a promising technique, which can discriminate between ischemic core and penumbra. In this study, we sought to evaluate diagnostic performance of CTP-CBV colour maps, regarded as a marker of acute infarct; in comparison with DWI.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 48 patients with CTA proved major ischemic stroke within 12hours of onset, they had DWI and CTP exams within 1hour of each other, regardless of order. DWI sizes were calculated. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of CBV colour maps for identification of acute infarcts were calculated. ROC curve was constructed.
Results: CBV colour maps missed a lot of small infarcts that were identified by DWI with an overall diagnostic accuracy of (62.5%) and low sensitivity (38.5%) for patients whom DWI size<70mL. Area under curve was 0.79. DWI size was an only predictor of abnormal CBV colour maps (P=0.005).
Conclusions: Assuming direct equivalence of DWI and CBV-based core might be unrealistic for individual patients in clinical practice. CBV colour maps are highly specific for acute infarcts, but with lack of sufficient sensitivity; particularly for small sized infarcts.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of an alternative scan path with that of traditional scan paths to obtain a more accurate method for complete arch scans.
Materials And Methods: A mandibular stone cast, including tooth preparations for the inlay, crown, and fixed prosthesis, was scanned 10 times using four different scan paths (A, B, C, and D). The scans were converted into stereolithography files, resized, and superimposed onto a control file obtained from a desktop scanner.

Precision depth estimation plays a key role in many applications, including 3D scene reconstruction, virtual reality, autonomous driving and human-computer interaction. Through recent advancements in deep learning technologies, monocular depth estimation, with its simplicity, has surpassed the traditional stereo camera systems, bringing new possibilities in 3D sensing. In this paper, by using a single camera, we propose an end-to-end supervised monocular depth estimation autoencoder, which contains an encoder with a structure with a mixed convolution neural network and vision transformers and an effective adaptive fusion decoder to obtain high-precision depth maps.

Global climatic changes increase areas that are influenced by drought. Remote sensing based on the spectral characteristics of reflected light is widely used to detect the action of stressors (including drought) in plants. The development of methods of improving remote sensing is an important applied task for plant cultivation.

Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) can study the susceptibility values of brain tissue which allows for noninvasive examination of local brain iron levels in both normal and pathological conditions.
Purpose: Our study compares brain iron deposition in gray matter (GM) nuclei between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients and healthy controls (HCs), exploring factors that affect iron deposition and cognitive function.
Materials And Methods: A total of 321 subjects were enrolled in this study.
