The rapid acquisition of projective images with low radiation dose is essential in computed tomography with diffraction enhanced imaging to extract absorption, refraction, and scattering images from weakly absorbing specimens. This plays a critical role in applying diffraction enhanced imaging to biological and medical imaging. In this study, an improved diffraction enhanced imaging method is proposed to rapidly implement X-ray trimodal computed tomography. This method positions the sample in a specific region near the analyzer crystal, allowing the simultaneous acquisition of transmitted and diffracted images in a single exposure. When combined with computed tomography, three different sample properties, known as absorption, phase and scattering, can be reconstructed simultaneously by collecting the projective images as the sample rotates from 0° to 360°. The experimental results demonstrate that this straightforward method enables the quantitative extraction of sample information and simplifies the data acquisition procedure in computed tomography with diffraction enhanced imaging. Therefore, this novel method offers the advantages of straightforward imaging device, rapid CT data acquisition, low radiation dose and more comprehensive sample information extraction.

Background/objectives: Evidence suggests nasal airflow resistance reduces after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the medium-term effects of RME on upper airway (UA) airflow characteristics when normal craniofacial development is considered are still unclear. This retrospective cohort study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the UA airflow (pressure and velocity) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between body composition, overall survival, odds of receiving treatment, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in individuals living with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).
Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted in newly diagnosed patients with mNSCLC who had computed-tomography (CT) scans and completed PRO questionnaires close to metastatic diagnosis date. Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression evaluated overall survival and odds of receiving treatment, respectively.

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is emerging as a valuable tool for noninvasive surveillance of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in patients with heart transplant (HTx). We assessed the diagnostic performance of a comprehensive CCTA-based approach compared with the invasive reference, which includes invasive coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and fractional flow reserve, for detecting CAV.
Methods: This was a multicenter prospective study including 37 patients with HTx who underwent CCTA, invasive coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and fractional flow reserve.
