Published: May 2023

MR imaging has been shown to have higher sensitivity than computed tomography (CT) for traumatic intracranial soft tissue injuries as well as most cases of intracranial hemorrhage, thus making it a significant adjunct to CT in the management of traumatic brain injury, mostly in the subacute to chronic phase, but may also be of use in the acute phase, when there are persistent neurologic symptoms unexplained by prior imaging.

Image reconstruction impacts haemodynamic parameters derived from 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging with compressed sensing.

Eur Heart J Imaging Methods Pract

Clinical Physiology, Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University, Lund 221 00, Sweden.

Aims: 4D blood flow measurements by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be used to simplify blood flow assessment. Compressed sensing (CS) can provide better flow measurements than conventional parallel imaging (PI), but clinical validation is needed. This study aimed to validate stroke volume (SV) measurements by 4D-CS in healthy volunteers and patients while also investigating the influence of the CS image reconstruction parameter on haemodynamic parameters.

The tertiary structure of normal podocytes prevents protein from leaking into the urine. However, observing the complexity of podocytes is challenging because of the scale differences in their three-dimensional structure and the close proximity between neighboring cells in space. In this study, we explored podocyte-secreted angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a potential morphological marker via super-resolution microscopy (SRM).

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by resistance to conventional therapies and poor survival. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic target for GBM treatment. However, there are currently no non-invasive imaging techniques to monitor the engagement of pro-ferroptotic compounds with their respective targets, or to monitor the efficacy of ferroptosis-based therapies.

Accuracies of measuring the artifact index (AI), a quantitative artifact evaluation index in X-ray CT images, were investigated. The AI is calculated based not only on the standard deviation (SD) of the artifact area in the image, but also on the SD of noise components for considering the noise influence. However, conventional measurement methods may not follow this consideration, for example the non-uniformity of the noise distribution is not taken into account, resulting in reducing the accuracy of AI.

Background: Conventional white light endoscopic (WLE) findings of H. pylori-associated gastritis are often non-specific and may not correlate with histology. Narrow band imaging (NBI), an optical digital technique employed for the visualization of vessels and patterns of gastric mucosa may improve identification.
