Full wave inversion (FWI) is a data inversion technique used extensively in seismology field to estimate physical properties of earth's subsurface by minimizing the misfit between the observed data and the synthetic data. Only recently its use has been explored in the domain medical imaging, especially for transcranial ultrasound imaging. Although FWI gives better resolution compared to other computed tomography methods, it is computationally heavy. Moreover, there are no widely used standard software/packages to solve FWI problems in medical imaging. Here we explore the use of an open source toolbox based on MATLAB to perform our simulations. Further, we also explore the effect of ignoring attenuation in the backpropagation step of adjoint-state modelling in the FWI technique, and observe that the convergence is faster and the structural similarity index (SSIM) metric is marginally better when compared to adjoint-state modelling with attenuation.

Hemispheric asymmetries in face recognition in health and dysfunction.

Handb Clin Neurol

March 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, United States. Electronic address:

A defining characteristic of the human brain is that, notwithstanding the clear anatomic similarities, the two cerebral hemispheres have several different functional superiorities. The focus of this chapter is on the hemispheric asymmetry associated with the function of face identity processing, a finely tuned and expert behavior for almost all humans that is acquired incidentally from birth and continues to be refined through early adulthood. The first section lays out the well-accepted doctrine that face perception is a product of the right hemisphere, a finding based on longstanding behavioral data from healthy adult human observers.

Background: Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMM) aids early detection of secondary brain injury in neurointensive care and facilitates research in pathophysiologic mechanisms of the injured brain. Invasive ICP monitoring has been the gold standard for decades, however additional methods exist (aMMM). It was hypothesized that local practices regarding aMMM vary considerably and that inter-and intracenter consensus is low.

Background: Neurosyphilis results from invading the central nervous system, leading to severe neurological issues like stroke. Combining hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and transcranial ultrasound neuromuscular stimulation (TUS-NMES) shows promise in improving outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluates the predictive value and clinical significance of CXCL13, WBC, and Hs-CRP levels in neurosyphilis patients undergoing HBO and TUS-NMES therapy.

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability worldwide, with approximately 30% of strokes remaining cryptogenic. One potential important etiology is a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which may contribute to stroke through paradoxical thromboembolism or thromboembolus formation. Recent advancements in robot-assisted transcranial Doppler (raTCD) have shown increased sensitivity in detecting right-to-left shunt (RLS) compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), particularly in detecting the large shunts which are associated with higher stroke risk.
