Abstract

Motion during MRI examinations is a serious problem that degrades the quality of the data (images) acquired. Motion can be corrected during the postprocessing of the data; however, this approach is suboptimal and is typically limited to in-plane or translational motion. An apparatus for dynamic angular position tracking (ADAPT) for prospective angular motion correction has been developed. This application is capable of "tracking" the scanned region of interest by performing dynamic adjustments of orientation of the scanning plane. The operation of the apparatus is based on deuterium MR spectroscopy and does not rely on the use of magnetic field gradients. Orientation-sensitive deuterium quadrupolar interaction in a single crystal attached to a subject is used to monitor the angular position in magnetic fields. Measurements are performed with an independent spectrometer channel in the background of the MRI scans. This apparatus is very cost- and time-efficient because it utilizes the hardware already available on many spectrometers and can be used in parallel with MRI scans. Potentially, rotations by a fraction of one degree can be easily corrected and the angular position information can be rapidly updated.

Striping artifact removal in VisiumHD data through nuclear counts modeling.

MOTIVATION: 10x Genomics VisiumHD enables spatial transcriptomics at 2 µm × 2 µm resolution but exhibits slide-specific, non-periodic striping artifacts due to lane-width variability. These multiplicative row/column effects distort bin total counts and can bias downstream analyses. The state-of-the-art destriping approach is the normalization procedure used as a preprocessing step in bin2cell; it applies sequential high-quantile row- then column-wise normalization, which is asymmetric and can introduce edge effects/macro-stripes and distortions of large-scale total-count structure. RESULTS: We propose a statistical destriping approach that leverages nuclei segmentation from the co-registered H&E image. Assuming transcript abundance is constant within each nucleus, we model bin counts with a negative binomial distribution whose mean is a product of a nucleus-specific concentration and row- and column-specific stripe-factors reflecting lane-width variation. We fit all parameters in a generalized linear modeling framework with cross-validated regularization on stripe-factors and iterative dispersion estimation, and use the fitted parameters to correct the observed counts into a destriped image. On synthetic data with known ground truth, our method improves stripe-factor estimation accuracy and reduces error in corrected counts relative to bin2cell and bin2cell-derived baselines. Across four public VisiumHD slides, it consistently lowers striping intensity while substantially better preserving biological signal present in the large-scale global count structure and avoiding the artifacts introduced by other methods.

Impairment of echocardiographic acoustic window caused by breast implants.

Cosmetic breast implants are increasing in popularity. The presence of a breast implant overlying the anterior mediastinal space as a cause of impairment of the echocardiographic acoustic window has not been described previously. Here, we report three cases with significant impairment of echocardiographic acoustic window caused by breast implants. Clinicians should be aware of this interference and women should be informed of this dilemma before considering this cosmetic surgery.
