Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) on the nuclear membrane surface have a crucial function in controlling the movement of small molecules and macromolecules between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm through their intricate core channel resembling a spiderweb with several layers. Currently, there are few methods available to accurately measure the dynamics of nuclear pores on the nuclear membranes at the nanoscale. The limitation of traditional optical imaging is due to diffraction, which prevents achieving the required resolution for observing a diverse array of organelles and proteins within cells.

Objective: We aimed to further improve knowledge about volar plate (VP) motion of the finger proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP), by analyzing the dynamic VP shape during a full range of finger flexion using magnetic resonance cinematography of the fingers (MRCF), and to compare the results with anatomical cross sections from cadaver specimens.
Materials And Methods: The dynamic sagittal VP shape was visualized with MRCF in a total number of 23 healthy volunteers. The length, angle, and thickness as well as the contact length of the VP to the PIP joint base were measured.

Over 150 years ago, methods for quantitative analysis of gastrointestinal motor patterns first appeared. Graphic representations of physiological variables were recorded with the kymograph after the mid-1800s. Changes in force or length of intestinal muscles could be quantified, however most recordings were limited to a single point along the digestive tract.

In recent years, cinematography and other digital content creators have been eagerly turning to Three-Dimensional (3D) imaging technology. The creators of movies, games, and augmented reality applications are aware of this technology's advantages, possibilities, and new means of expression. The development of electronic and IT technologies enables the achievement of a better and better quality of the recorded 3D image and many possibilities for its correction and modification in post-production.

Objective: To study the feasibility of magnetic resonance cinematography of the fingers (MRCF) with comparison of image quality of different protocols for depicting the finger anatomy during motion.
Materials And Methods: MRCF was performed during a full flexion and extension movement in 14 healthy volunteers using a finger-gating device. Three real-time sequences (frame rates 17-59 images/min) and one proton density (PD) sequence (3 images/min) were acquired during incremental and continuous motion.
