Measurement performance assessment has been carried out for the latest design of the ITER Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) Edge diagnostic system. Several plasma scenarios, covering all expected baseline operation regimes for ITER, were used. Various impurity (He, Be, C, and Ne) concentrations for the system whole spatial range (0.5 < r/a < 1.0) were considered. Statistical errors for the measurements of low-Z impurity temperature, density, and rotation velocity were calculated. Other non-statistical error sources were reviewed, including the presence of wall reflections, effects on the active charge-exchange line shape, calibration, and positioning uncertainties. Minimal impurity concentrations, allowing measurements with required accuracy, were obtained. It was shown that the CXRS Edge system will be able to measure primary plasma parameters with required accuracy, space, and time resolution.

2D core ion temperature and impurity density measurements with Coherence Imaging Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CICERS) at Wendelstein 7-X (invited).

Coherence Imaging Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CICERS) is an imaging diagnostic installed in Wendelstein 7-X from which 2D maps of ion temperature (Ti) and impurity density (nZ) are obtained. The improved spatial resolution and coverage, as compared to standard Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS), with which these parameters can be assessed, come at the expense of spectral resolution, requiring the development of new strategies to isolate the active charge exchange contribution from passive and Bremsstrahlung radiation. In this work, a new approach based on the modeling of background radiation is presented and applied to the derivation of 2D Ti maps.

Measurements of ion temperature profiles are required to assess the energy and particle transport processes in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator. This device is equipped with a diagnostic alkali beam, which can be utilized to determine local impurity temperatures and densities by Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS). It could provide such profiles in the edge plasma, where other diagnostics are less efficient.

Introduction: This study aimed to test whether Advanced Edge Enhancement (AEE) software could improve the localisation of tubes, catheters or wires, while also affecting the overall image quality in chest x-rays (CXR).
Methods: In total, 50 retrospective CXRs were included. All images were obtained utilising the Canon X-ray system (CANON/Arcoma Precision T3 DR System, Canon Europe, Amsterdam, NL) with a CXDI-810C wireless detector.

Background And Objective: In chest radiographs (CXRs), all bones and soft tissues are overlapping with each other, which raises issues for radiologists to read and interpret CXRs. Delineating the ribs and clavicles is helpful for suppressing them from chest radiographs so that their effects can be reduced for chest radiography analysis. However, delineating ribs and clavicles automatically is difficult by methods without deep learning models.
