We present a calibration method for finding the coordinates of points in the trajectory of the scanning beam in flying-spot imaging devices. Our method is based on laterally translating the field of view on the imaging object plane by introducing additional beam deflections. We show that laterally translating the field of view provides a series of images whose relative translations are equal to the distances between the points in the scanning pattern to be calibrated. We show how these distances are mapped to the coordinates of the trajectory points. As an example, we demonstrate the calibration of the scanning patterns in an optical system with two independent microelectromechanical system based scanners. Our method profits from a large collection of distance measurements to find the trajectory coordinates, thereby minimizing the effect of random sources of uncertainty in the positions of points in the scanning pattern. We have found that we are capable of finding the coordinates of points in the scanning patterns with accuracy greater than the optical resolution of the imaging system.

Arterial Input Function Dispersal on Acute Brain CT Perfusion Scan in Patients With Acute Stroke and an Intracardiac Thrombus.

Department of Neurology, John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperacute cardiac CT is more effective than transthoracic echocardiography in detecting intracardiac thrombus, but its routine use is limited due to costs and risks.
- A study of 1,136 ischemic stroke or TIA patients found that longer arterial input function (AIF) dispersal times correlate with the presence of thrombus and worse outcomes, with a specific cutoff of 33 seconds indicating higher risk.
- The findings support using AIF dispersal measurements to help identify patients who may benefit from cardiac imaging, potentially optimizing resource use in stroke management.
In-Plane Anisotropy in van der Waals NiTeSe Ternary Alloy.

The anisotropic properties of materials profoundly influence their electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical behaviors and are critical for a wide range of applications. In this study, the anisotropic characteristics of Ni-based van der Waals materials, specifically NiTe and its alloy NiTeSe, utilizing a combination of comprehensive scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, are explored. Unlike 1T-NiTe, which exhibits trigonal in-plane symmetry, the substitution of Te with Se in NiTe (resulting in the NiTeSe alloy) induces a pronounced in-plane anisotropy.

Thermally driven transitions between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases are characterized by critical behavior with divergent susceptibilities, long-range correlations, and spin dynamics that can span kHz to GHz scales as the material approaches the critical temperature , but it has proven technically challenging to probe the relevant length and time scales with most conventional measurement techniques. In this study, we employ scanning nitrogen-vacancy center based magnetometry and relaxometry to reveal the critical behavior of a high- ferromagnetic oxide near its Curie temperature. Cluster analysis of the measured temperature-dependent nanoscale magnetic textures points to a 3D universality class with a correlation length that diverges near .

Purpose: To compare the assessment of clinically relevant retinal and choroidal lesions as well as optic nerve pathologies using a novel three-wavelength ultra-widefield (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscope with established retinal imaging techniques for ophthalmoscopic imaging.
Methods: Eighty eyes with a variety of retinal and choroidal lesions were assessed on the same time point using Topcon color fundus photography (CFP) montage, Optos red/green (RG), Heidelberg SPECTRALIS MultiColor 55-color montage (MCI), and novel Optos red/green/blue (RGB). Paired images of the optic nerve, retinal, or choroidal lesions were initially diagnosed based on CFP imaging.

In this study, a new reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography method using two detectors was developed for the analysis of degradation and process impurities of ivabradine in pharmaceutical preparations. A PDA detector set to 285 nm wavelength and a QDa detector set to positive scan mode were used in the method. In the developed method, the separation process was carried out in a Zorbax phenyl column with a gradient application of a 0.
