For multi- and hyperspectral imagers, the integrity of the spectral information depends critically on the spatial coregistration between bands. There is at present no commonly accepted way to fully specify coregistration performance. This Letter shows how a relatively simple measurement technique can be used to form sharp images of the point spread function (PSF) in all bands, yielding information about spatial coregistration, as well as spatial resolution. A previously proposed metric is applied to characterize coregistration in terms of PSF similarity between bands. Resolution is characterized by ensquared energy. Two commercial hyperspectral cameras with nominally similar specifications are compared, and turn out to have large differences in their actual performance. The results, and the relative simplicity of the measurement, suggest that the method is suitable as a standardized performance test.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems acquire images with spectral information over a wide range of wavelengths but are often affected by chromatic and other optical aberrations that degrade image quality. Deconvolution algorithms can improve the spatial resolution of HSI systems, yet retrieving the point spread function (PSF) is a crucial and challenging step. To address this challenge, we have developed a method for PSF estimation in HSI systems based on computed wavefronts.

This paper describes the design and initial proof-of-concept of a single pre-clinical transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) system capable of performing histotripsy (mechanical ablation), hyperthermia, blood-brain barrier opening (BBBO), sonodynamic therapy, or neuromodulation in a murine brain. We have termed it the All-in-One FUS system for murine brain studies, which is the first FUS system of its kind. The 1.

Positron-emission tomography magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) has emerged as a powerful hybrid molecular imaging technique in clinical practice, overcoming initial technical challenges to provide comprehensive anatomic and metabolic information. This advanced modality combines the superior soft tissue contrast of MRI with the metabolic insights of PET, offering advantages in hepatobiliary imaging, including improved detection of small liver metastases and reduced radiation exposure. The evolution of PET/MRI technology has been marked by significant advancements, such as the development of MRI-compatible PET detectors and sophisticated motion compensation techniques.

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) was the primary target of ESA's Rosetta mission. Hyperspectral images acquired by the Mapping channel of the Visible and InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer aboard Rosetta can be used to derive physical and compositional surface properties by detailed spectrophotometric analyses. This calls for a precise spatial co-registration between measurements and geometry information.

White matter alterations are increasingly implicated in neurological diseases and their progression. International-scale studies use diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to qualitatively identify changes in white matter microstructure and connectivity. Yet, quantitative analysis of DW-MRI data is hindered by inconsistencies stemming from varying acquisition protocols.
