Abstract

The authors present a new, advanced system for electrocoagulation. In order to solve the problems connected with standard and bipolar EC machines available to date (i.e.: uneven and incostant coagulation; adhesion of tissue to the tips of the forceps, etc.), the Authors realized bipolar screened forceps with a well balanced current flow to avoid any heat dissipation. This new type of forceps are fed by a peculiar, two-step heating pattern, time dependent, that coagulates only the core of the clamped tissue.

A penalized likelihood approach to magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Currently, images acquired via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology are reconstructed using the discrete inverse Fourier transform. While computationally convenient, this approach is not able to filter out noise. This is a serious limitation because the amount of noise in MRI and fMRI can be substantial. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to reconstruction, based on penalized likelihood methodology. In particular, we focus on non-linear shrinkage estimators and show that this approach achieves a great reduction in integrated mean squared error (IMSE) of the estimated image with respect to the currently used estimator. This approach is extremely fast and easy to implement computationally. In addition, it can be combined with various alternative approaches to MR image reconstruction and can be easily adapted to other, non-MRI contexts, in which the observed data and the quantities of interest are related via a linear transform.
