In this paper, the reverse time migration (RTM) method is applied to the single-frequency reconstruction of embedded obstacles in a wall to perform an introductory study for in-wall imaging. The aim is to determine the geometrical properties of an object embedded in a wall by the use of an information function provided via the RTM method. The method is based on the computation of that information function separately at each point on a reconstruction domain. It is defined as the correlation levels between the incident fields emitted from sources and the back-propagation of the scattered field. The problem is taken from a broader perspective in order to show and confirm the effectiveness of the method. For this purpose, numerical experiments within a fundamental scenario are determined in a particular order to perform an essential Monte Carlo simulation. The paper uses a comparative study to make an objective evaluation of the achievement level of the method in in-wall imaging. The results reveal that the method is at the applicable level of achievement.

Mechanisms of aortic dissection: From pathological changes to experimental and models.
Prog Mater Sci

Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology, Austria.
Aortic dissection continues to be responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, although recent advances in medical data assimilation and in experimental and models have improved our understanding of the initiation and progression of the accumulation of blood within the aortic wall. Hence, there remains a pressing necessity for innovative and enhanced models to more accurately characterize the associated pathological changes. Early on, experimental models were employed to uncover mechanisms in aortic dissection, such as hemodynamic changes and alterations in wall microstructure, and to assess the efficacy of medical implants.

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging identifies plaque enhancement as a key marker of instability. This study evaluated the efficacy of combined high-intensity statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in plaque stabilization.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFour-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) was utilized to analyze an aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery, revealing vortex formation and an increased oscillatory shear index (OSI), both indicative of variations in wall shear stress. An elevated OSI has been associated with an elevated risk of aortic dissection.

Purpose: Previous research has demonstrated improvements in CT-derived bronchial parameters in the first years after smoking cessation. This study investigates the association between longer smoking cessation duration and bronchial parameters in lung-healthy and lung-unhealthy ex-smokers from the general population.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using low-dose CT scans of ex-smokers from the general population with at least 10 pack-years from the ImaLife study, a sub study within the Lifelines cohort.
Unlabelled: This study investigates the anatomical prerequisites that could contribute to the development of this condition.
Material And Methods: Using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT), the study examined the structure and relationships of key anatomical features, including the alveolar process, sinus wall thickness, and the position of the teeth in relation to the maxillary sinus.
Results: The results revealed that the lower wall of the maxillary sinus is predominantly formed by the alveolar process, with significant variability in wall thickness, especially between the central and lateral regions.
