Purpose: To evaluate the geometric distortion on magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained with a permanent magnet system and determine the usefulness of MR imaging-assisted x-ray simulation in radiation therapy treatment planning (RTTP).
Materials And Methods: The authors measured the distortion on MR images of grid-pattern phantoms. MR imaging-assisted x-ray simulation was performed with skin markers in 14 patients with bone tumors. Treatment planning had already been performed with a conventional system.
Results: On phantom images, most of the positional displacements within a 120-mm radius from the center of the static magnetic field were less than 2 mm; larger displacements were observed in the peripheral region of the images. MR imaging was useful in the RTTP of all patients. The original radiation field was modified after MR examination in six patients.
Conclusion: The amount of image distortion within the practical area is acceptable for RTTP. MR imaging-assisted x-ray simulation is useful for patients with bone tumors and warrants further investigation.

Identification of lesion demarcation during thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection is fundamental for treating children with congenital lung malformation. Existing lesion demarcations do not always meet the needs of clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with nebulized inhalation of indocyanine green for thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection in children with congenital lung malformation.

In modern medical imaging-assisted therapies, manual annotation is commonly employed for liver and tumor segmentation in abdominal CT images. However, this approach suffers from low efficiency and poor accuracy. With the development of deep learning, automatic liver tumor segmentation algorithms based on neural networks have emerged, for the improvement of the work efficiency.

Mechanical stiffness of liver organoid is a key indicator for the progress of hepatic steatosis. Probe indentation is a noninvasive methodology to measure Young's modulus (YM); however, the inhomogeneous nature of the liver organoid induces measurement uncertainty requiring a large number of indentations covering a wide scanning area. Here, we demonstrate that lipid-stained fluorescence imaging-assisted probe indentation significantly reduces the number of measurements by specifying the highly lipid-induced area.
