A novel, to the best of our knowledge, dual-state reflective optical relay system based on the Alvarez system is proposed, which can be used for remote sensing applications. By keeping the image and pupil positions constant, it can be combined with a telescope to achieve two different magnifications. As a compact structure with only two moving parts, freeform optical mirrors and a nearly diffraction limited performance for the infrared wavelength 8 µm make it an attractive subsystem for space applications. Different design tradeoffs and the preferred layout properties are discussed in detail.

Background: Kidney tumors, common in the urinary system, have widely varying survival rates post-surgery. Current prognostic methods rely on invasive biopsies, highlighting the need for non-invasive, accurate prediction models to assist in clinical decision-making.

Purpose: This study aimed to construct a K-means clustering algorithm enhanced by Transformer-based feature transformation to predict the overall survival rate of patients after kidney tumor resection and provide an interpretability analysis of the model to assist in clinical decision-making.

Background: X-ray grating-based dark-field imaging can sense the small angle scattering caused by object's micro-structures. This technique is sensitive to the porous microstructure of lung alveoli and has the potential to detect lung diseases at an early stage. Up to now, a human-scale dark-field CT (DF-CT) prototype has been built for lung imaging.

Climate change impact on green spaces planning in an urban area using a hybrid approach.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

Department of Geomatics Engineering, Hacettepe University, 06800, Beytepe, Ankara, Türkiye.

This study presents a hybrid methodology for planning green spaces to enhance urban sustainability and livability, evaluating the impacts of climate change on cities. Cities, once accommodating a small population, have become major centers of migration and development since the eighteenth century. Rapid urban growth intensifies infrastructure, environmental, and social challenges.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used to monitor disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aims to systematically evaluate the correlation between MRI measures and histopathological changes, including demyelination, axonal loss, and gliosis, in the central nervous system of MS patients. We systematically reviewed post-mortem histological studies evaluating myelin density, axonal loss, and gliosis using quantitative imaging in MS.

Systematic Review of Hybrid Vision Transformer Architectures for Radiological Image Analysis.

J Imaging Inform Med

January 2025

School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA.

Vision transformer (ViT)and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) each possess distinct strengths in medical imaging: ViT excels in capturing long-range dependencies through self-attention, while CNNs are adept at extracting local features via spatial convolution filters. While ViT may struggle with capturing detailed local spatial information, critical for tasks like anomaly detection in medical imaging, shallow CNNs often fail to effectively abstract global context. This study aims to explore and evaluate hybrid architectures that integrate ViT and CNN to leverage their complementary strengths for enhanced performance in medical vision tasks, such as segmentation, classification, reconstruction, and prediction.
