Background: The depth of anesthesia (DOA) is estimated based on the anesthesia-induced electroencephalogram (EEG) changes. However, the surgical environment, as well as the patient him/herself, generates electrical interferences that cause EEG waveform distortion.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old patient required general anesthesia due to the right femur necrotizing fasciitis. He had no history of epilepsy or head injury. His cardiovascular status was stable without arrhythmia under propofol and remifentanil anesthesia. The DOA was evaluated with Root® with SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring (Masimo Inc, Irvine, CA). The EEG showed a rhythmic, heart rate time-locked pulsation artifact, which diminished after electrode repositioning. Offline analysis revealed that the pulse wave-like interference in EEG was observed at the heart rate frequency.
Conclusions: We experienced an anesthesia case that involves a pulsation artifact generated by the superficial temporal artery contaminating the EEG signal. Numerous clinical conditions, including pulsation artifact, disturb anesthesia EEG.

Generative adversarial networks with fully connected layers to denoise PPG signals.

Objective: The detection of arterial pulsating signals at the skin periphery with Photoplethysmography (PPG) are easily distorted by motion artifacts. This work explores the alternatives to the aid of PPG reconstruction with movement sensors (accelerometer and/or gyroscope) which to date have demonstrated the best pulsating signal reconstruction.
Approach: A generative adversarial network with fully connected layers (FC-GAN) is proposed for the reconstruction of distorted PPG signals.

Contrast-enhanced CT is a primary tool in emergency departments for diagnosing acute aortic dissection, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity. However, artifacts such as streak artifacts can mimic aortic dissection, leading to misdiagnosis. Here, we report a case involving a 21-year-old male who sustained traumatic injuries after a motor vehicle accident.

Article Synopsis
- A new 3D MR-STAT protocol was developed to address issues with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsation artifacts in brain imaging, which commonly affect image quality.
- The researchers optimized the sequence to reduce noise and CSF signal, validating its effectiveness using both phantoms and healthy volunteers, resulting in improved quantitative maps without CSF-related distortions.
- The final protocol demonstrates high-quality imaging with minimal variability across subjects, allowing for rapid and accurate whole-brain relaxometry scans in just 5.5 minutes.
Motion and magnetic field inhomogeneity correction techniques for chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI: A contemporary review.

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful imaging technique sensitive to tissue molecular composition, pH, and metabolic processes in situ. CEST MRI uniquely probes the physical exchange of protons between water and specific molecules within tissues, providing a window into physiological phenomena that remain invisible to standard MRI. However, given the very low concentration (millimolar range) of CEST compounds, the effects measured are generally only on the order of a few percent of the water signal.
