Background: Intraoperative determination of resection margin and adequate residual liver parenchyma are the key points of hepatectomy for the treatment of liver tumors. Intraoperative ultrasound and indocyanine green fluorescence navigation are the most commonly used methods at present, but the technical barriers limit their promotion.

Aim: To evaluate the value of the three-dimensional location approach with silk thread (3D-LAST) in precise resection of liver tumors.

Methods: From September 2020 to January 2022, 8 patients with liver tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and gastric cancer liver metastasis were included in this study. All patients underwent 3D-LAST in precise resection of liver tumors.

Results: All patients (8/8, 100%) underwent the operation successfully without any complications. During the mean follow-up of 8.7 months, all patients survived without tumor recurrence.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the 3D-LAST is a safe and effective new method for liver intraoperative navigation, which is practical and easy to promote.

Objective: To discuss CT imaging characteristics of invasive adenocarcinoma of lung(IACL).

Methods: CT revealed the nodule of lung which pathology confirmed as IACL of 290 cases. Imaging data were retrospectively analyzed by dividing into high-risk group of 115 cases and low-risk group of 175.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usage over computed tomography (CT) to perform three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analyses. The secondary objective is to find intra- and interobserver reliability of manual cephalometric landmarks identification in both CT and MRI scan data.

Methods: Data from 40 patients were used in this study, with orthodontists manually identifying 37 landmarks on both CT and MRI scans.

Vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs) form complex, tightly packed networks; due to this density, traditional imaging approaches cannot discern single-filament behavior. To address this, we developed and validated a sparse vimentin-SunTag labeling strategy, enabling single-particle tracking of individual VIFs and providing a sensitive, unbiased, and quantitative method for measuring global VIF motility. Using this approach, we define the steady-state VIF motility rate, showing a constant ∼8% of VIFs undergo directed microtubule-based motion irrespective of subcellular location or local filament density.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze midfacial skeletal shape asymmetry in skeletal Class III patients using a three-dimensional spatially-dense method.

Methods: Sixty skeletal Class III patients' cone-beam computed tomography images were retrospectively enrolled and divided into three groups according to occlusal plane inclination (OPI) and mandibular lateral deviation (MD). A spatially-dense template of the anterior outer surface of the midfacial skeleton was established and validated.
