In translation from preclinical to clinical studies using photoacoustic imaging, motion artifacts represent a major issue. In this study the feasibility of an in-house algorithm, referred to as intensity phase tracking (IPT), for regional motion correction of human photoacoustic (PA) images was demonstrated. The algorithm converts intensity to phase-information and performs 2D phase-tracking on interleaved ultrasound images. The radial artery in eight healthy volunteers was imaged using an ultra-high frequency photoacoustic system. PA images were motion corrected and evaluated based on PA image similarities. Both controlled measurements using a computerized stepping motor and free-hand measurements were evaluated. The results of the controlled measurements show that the tracking corresponded to 97 ± 6% of the actual movement. Overall, the mean square error between PA images decreased by 52 ± 15% and by 43 ± 19% when correcting for controlled- and free-hand induced motions, respectively. The results show that the proposed algorithm could be used for motion correction in photoacoustic imaging in humans.

Comparison of software-assisted and freehand methods of rotational assessment for diaphyseal femur fractures.

Objective: Accurate rotational reduction following femoral shaft fracture fixation is absent in up to 28% of cases yet is critical for lower extremity biomechanics. The objective of this cadaveric study was to compare the results of freehand methods of rotational reduction with software-assisted rotational reduction.
Methods: Four fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeons attempted rotational correction in a cadaveric model with fluoroscopic assistance using (1) their method of choice (MoC) and (2) software assistance (SA).
Portable head CT motion artifact correction via diffusion-based generative model.

Portable head CT images often suffer motion artifacts due to the prolonged scanning time and critically ill patients who are unable to hold still. Image-domain motion correction is attractive for this application as it does not require CT projection data. This paper describes and evaluates a generative model based on conditional diffusion to correct motion artifacts in portable head CT scans.

We demonstrate that working with a correct phase-space electronic Hamiltonian captures electronic inertial effects. In particular, we show that phase space surface hopping dynamics do not suffer (at least to very high order) from non-physical non-adiabatic transitions between electronic eigenstates during the course of pure nuclear translational and rotational motion. This work opens up many new avenues for quantitatively investigating complex phenomena, including angular momentum transfer between chiral phonons and electrons as well as chiral-induced spin selectivity effects.

Following a unilateral post-chiasmal lesion of the geniculo-striate pathway, patients develop homonymous visual field defects. Using classical perimetry, patients with 'complete' homonymous hemianopia are unaware of stimuli in the affected hemifield. However, some show preserved vision in the affected hemifield in which the conscious perception of moving stimuli is preserved (Riddoch phenomenon).

Background: Effects of rigid posterior instrumentation on the three-dimensional post-operative spinal flexibility are widely unknown. Purpose of this in vitro study was to quantify these effects for characteristic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis instrumentations.
Methods: Six fresh frozen human thoracic and lumbar spine specimens (C7-S) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26-45 years) without clinically relevant deformity were loaded quasi-statically with pure moments of 5 Nm in flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation.
