Nano-resolution synchrotron X-ray spectro-tomography has been demonstrated as a powerful tool for probing the three-dimensional (3D) structural and chemical heterogeneity of a sample. By reconstructing a number of tomographic data sets recorded at different X-ray energy levels, the energy-dependent intensity variation in every given voxel fingerprints the corresponding local chemistry. The resolution and accuracy of this method, however, could be jeopardized by non-ideal experimental conditions, e.g. instability in the hardware system and/or in the sample itself. Herein is presented one such case, in which unanticipated sample deformation severely degrades the data quality. To address this issue, an automatic 3D image registration method is implemented to evaluate and correct this effect. The method allows the redox heterogeneity in partially delithiated LiTaMnO battery cathode particles to be revealed with significantly improved fidelity.

The hippocampus is a small, yet intricate seahorse-shaped tiny structure located deep within the brain's medial temporal lobe. It is a crucial component of the limbic system, which is responsible for regulating emotions, memory, and spatial navigation. This research focuses on automatic hippocampus segmentation from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of a human head with high accuracy and fewer false positive and false negative rates.

Large-scale studies indicate a strong relationship between the gut microbiome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Here, a higher abundance of the type III secretion system (T3SS) virulence factors of Enterobacteriaceae/Escherichia-Shigella in patients with T2DM-related-ASCVD, which correlates with their atherosclerotic stenosis is reported. Overexpression of T3SS via Citrobacter rodentium (CR) infection in Apoe-/- T2DM mice exacerbated atherosclerotic lesion formation and increased gut permeability.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common disabling central nervous system diseases affecting young adults. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool for diagnosing and following up multiple sclerosis. Over the years, many MRI techniques have been developed to improve the sensitivity of MS disease detection.

Purpose: To evaluate image quality (IQ) of for-processing (raw) and for-presentation (clinical) radiography images, under different exposure conditions and digital image post-processing algorithms, using a phantom that enables multiple detection tasks.

Methods: A modified version of the radiography phantom described in the IAEA Human Health Series No. 39 publication was constructed, incorporating six additional Aluminum (Al) targets of thicknesses both smaller and larger than the standard one.
