The diatom shell is an example of complex siliceous structure which is a suitable model to demonstrate the process of digging into the third dimension using modern visualization techniques. This paper demonstrates importance of a comprehensive multi-length scale approach to the bio-structures/materials with the usage of state-of-the-art imaging techniques. Imaging of diatoms applying visible light, electron and X-ray microscopy provide a deeper insight into the morphology of their frustules.

Characterization and Detection Strategy Exploration in Cryptogenic Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Insights From a Super-Aged Region in Japan.
Cancer Med
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Department of Multidisciplinary Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Yonago, Japan.
Background And Aim: In recent years, there has been a rise in cryptogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (c-HCC) cases in Japan, posing a detection challenge due to an unknown etiology. This study aims to enhance diagnostic strategies for c-HCC by analyzing its characteristics and exploring current opportunities for detection.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from April 2012 to March 2022, enrolling 372 newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
Assessing spatial sequencing and imaging approaches to capture the molecular and pathological heterogeneity of archived cancer tissues.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) offers enormous potential to decipher the biological and pathological heterogeneity in precious archival cancer tissues. Traditionally, these tissues have rarely been used and only examined at a low throughput, most commonly by histopathological staining. ST adds thousands of times as many molecular features to histopathological images, but critical technical issues and limitations require more assessment of how ST performs on fixed archival tissues.

Purpose: We hypothesized that radiation-induced tubulointerstitial changes in the kidney can be assessed using MRI-based T relaxation time measurements.
Methods: We performed MRI, histology, and serum biochemistry in two mouse models of radiation nephropathy: one involving external beam radiotherapy and the other using internal irradiation with an α-particle-emitting actinium-225 radiolabeled antibody. We compared the mean T values of different renal compartments between control and external beam radiotherapy or α-particle-emitting actinium-225 radiolabeled antibody-treated groups and between the two radiation-treated groups using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Recent advances in nanoultrasonography for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
Nanomedicine (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Ultrasound, Yantaishan Hospital, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai, Shandong, China.
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanoultrasonography has emerged as a promising medical imaging technique that demonstrates significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. This review discusses the applications of nanoultrasonography in the gastrointestinal field, including improvements in imaging resolution, diagnostic accuracy, latest research findings, and prospects for clinical application. By analyzing existing literature, we explore the role of nanoultrasonography in enhancing imaging resolution, enabling targeted drug delivery, and improving therapeutic outcomes, thereby providing a reference for future research directions.

Acta Radiol
January 2025
Department of Medical Imaging, Dalin Tzu-Chi Hospital, Chiayi, Taiwan.
Background: The wide variability in thresholds on computed tomography (CT) perfusion parametric maps has led to controversy in the stroke imaging community about the most accurate measurement of core infarction.
Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of using U-Net to perform infarct core segmentation in CT perfusion imaging.
Material And Methods: CT perfusion parametric maps were the input of U-Net, while the ground truth segmentation was determined based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).
