Optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) reflectometry is a ranging technique that allows for high-resolution distance measurements over long ranges. Similarly, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) provides high-resolution depth imaging over typically shorter distances and higher scan speeds. In this work, we demonstrate a low-cost, low-bandwidth 3D imaging system that provides the high axial resolution imaging capability normally associated with SS-OCT over typical FMCW ranging depths. The imaging system combines 12 distributed feedback laser (DFB) elements from a single butterfly module to provide an axial resolution of 27.1 μm over 6 m of depth and up to 14 cubic meters of volume. Active sweep linearization is used, greatly reducing the signal processing overhead. Various sub-surface, OCT-style tomograms of semi-transparent objects are shown, as well as 3D maps of various objects over depths ranging from sub-millimeter to several meters. Such imaging capability would make long-distance, high-resolution surface interrogation possible in a low-cost, compact package.

Intravascular Imaging as a Performance Measure for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Circ Cardiovasc Interv

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle (E.J.S., T. Salahuddin, J.A.D.).

Background: Intravascular imaging (IVI) is widely recognized to improve outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, IVI is underutilized and is not yet established as a performance measure for quality PCI.

Methods: We examined temporal trends of IVI use for all PCIs performed at Veterans Affairs hospitals in the United States from 2010 to 2022 using retrospective observational cohorts.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (T.H., M.E.R., O.Y., G.N.K., N.O., T.K., L.N., D.L.P., K.C.S.).

Background: Power-controlled radiofrequency ablation with irrigated-tip catheters has been the norm for ventricular ablation for almost 2 decades. New catheter technology has recently integrated more accurate tissue temperature sensing enabling temperature-controlled irrigated ablation. We aimed to investigate the in vivo ablation parameters and lesion formation characteristics in ventricular myocardium using a novel temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter.

Multi-label zero-shot learning (ML-ZSL) strives to recognize all objects in an image, regardless of whether they are present in the training data. Recent methods incorporate an attention mechanism to locate labels in the image and generate class-specific semantic information. However, the attention mechanism built on visual features treats label embeddings equally in the prediction score, leading to severe semantic ambiguity.

The substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), one of the main dopaminergic nuclei of the brain, exerts a regulatory function on the basal ganglia circuitry via the nigro-striatal pathway but its possible dopaminergic innervation of the thalamus has been only investigated in non-human primates. The impossibility of tract-tracing studies in humans has boosted advanced MRI techniques and multi-shell high-angular resolution diffusion MRI (MS-HARDI) has promised to shed more light on the structural connectivity of subcortical structures. Here, we estimated the possible dopaminergic innervation of the human thalamus via an MS-HARDI tractography of the SNc in healthy human young adults.
