Objectives: This study aimed to harmonize panoramic radiograph images from different equipment in a single institution to display similar styles.
Methods: A total of 15,624 panoramic images were acquired using two different equipment: 8079 images from Rayscan Alpha Plus (R-unit) and 7545 images from Pax-i plus (P-unit). Among these, 222 image pairs (444 images) from the same patients comprised the test dataset to harmonize the P-unit images with the R-unit image style using CycleGAN. Objective evaluations included Frechet Inception Distance (FID) and Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS) assessments. Additionally, expert evaluation was conducted by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists on transformed P-unit and R-unit images. The statistical analysis of LPIPS employed a Student's t-test.
Results: The FID and mean LPIPS values of the transformed P-unit images (7.362, 0.488) were lower than those of the original P-unit images (8.380, 0.519), with a significant difference in LPIPS (p < 0.05). The experts evaluated 43.3-46.7% of the transformed P-unit images as R-unit images, 20.0-28.3% as P-units, and 28.3-33.3% as undetermined images.
Conclusions: CycleGAN has the potential to harmonize panoramic radiograph image styles. Enhancement of the model is anticipated for the application of images produced by additional units.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to describe a method that assesses the hyperemic microvascular blood plasma volume of the calf musculature. The reversibly albumin binding contrast agent gadofosveset was used in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) to assess the microvascular status in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and healthy controls. In addition, the reproducibility of this method in healthy controls was determined.

The electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus emits a high-frequency electric organ discharge (EOD) sensed by specialized electroreceptors (P-units) distributed across the fish's skin. Objects such as prey increase the amplitude of the EOD over the underlying skin and thus cause an increase in P-unit discharge. The resulting localized intensity increase is called the electric image and is detected by its effect on the P-unit population; the electric image peak value and the extent to its spreads are cues utilized by these fish to estimate the location and size of its prey.

The electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus emits a high-frequency electric organ discharge (EOD) sensed by specialized electroreceptors (P-units). Amplitude modulations (AMs) of the EOD are caused by objects such as prey as well as by social interactions with conspecifics. The firing rate of P-units is modulated by the AMs due to both objects and communication signals.
