We introduce the concept of a miniaturized compound refractive X-ray zoom lens consisting of SU-8 lenses fabricated by deep X-ray lithography. The focal length can be varied by changing the number of lens elements placed in the beam. We use suitable actuators to move single lens elements reversibly out of the beam. The X-ray zoom lens can accept different X-ray energies while keeping a fixed working distance, or vary the focal distance for a fixed energy. The latter is useful in tuning the magnification factor in full field microscopy.

Molecules
September 2024
Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Leiden University, Einsteinweg 55, 2301 RA Leiden, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Zebrafish serve as a key model for studying neurodegenerative diseases, but achieving cellular resolution in their brain imaging has been difficult.
- The study presents groundbreaking MRI results at a high magnetic field strength of 28.2 T, achieving a 20% better signal-to-noise ratio compared to the previous 17.6 T, allowing for clearer brain structure visualization.
- Advanced imaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and constrained spherical deconvolution are used to non-invasively identify white matter structures with high resolution, paving the way for better understanding of microstructural changes in zebrafish models of brain diseases.
Adaptive infrared patterns for microscopic surface reconstructions.
Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Purpose: Multi-zoom microscopic surface reconstructions of operating sites, especially in ENT surgeries, would allow multimodal image fusion for determining the amount of resected tissue, for recognizing critical structures, and novel tools for intraoperative quality assurance. State-of-the-art three-dimensional model creation of the surgical scene is challenged by the surgical environment, illumination, and the homogeneous structures of skin, muscle, bones, etc., that lack invariant features for stereo reconstruction.

Acta Radiol Open
October 2024
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaksa, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to create a CT-based deep learning model for distinguishing low-risk and high-risk thymoma, comparing its performance with that of radiologists.
- - A total of 159 patients were analyzed using a fine-tuned VGG16 model with various data augmentations, resulting in a DL accuracy of 71.3%.
- - While the DL model improved diagnostic accuracy for radiologists, the overall performance, gauged by the area under the curve (AUC), showed no significant differences with or without the model.
