Abstract

Since image acquisition times in MRI have been reduced considerably over recent years, several new important application areas of MRI have appeared. In addition to pure static anatomic information, the evolution of a dynamic process may be visualized by a sequence of temporal snapshots of the process acquired within a short time period. This makes applications like interactive or interventional MRI as well as the acquisition of additional functional information feasible. For high temporal resolution, all these applications require a quasi real-time image acquisition during the time the interaction or dynamic process evolves. We present an approach to real-time imaging using a continuous radial acquisition scheme. The intrinsic advantages of radial or projection reconstruction (PR) techniques are used to minimize motion-related image distortions. Modifications of the acquisition scheme as well as dedicated reconstruction techniques are used to further reduce the temporal blurring due to the finite acquisition time of one entire data set in our approach. So far we have used this technique for the visualization of active joint motion.

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.

Imaging orthopedic hardware with an emphasis on hip prostheses.

This article reviews contemporary evaluation of hip prostheses, emphasizing both the accepted use of conventional radiographs, arthrograms, and scintigraphy, as well as the evolving use of CT and MR imaging in evaluating suspected complications. Developments in CT postprocessing and MR pulse sequence design now allow successful imaging of soft tissues adjacent to hardware components.

Voltage-dependent membrane displacements measured by atomic force microscopy.

Cells use polar molecules in the membrane to sense changes in the transmembrane potential. The opening of voltage-gated ion channels and membrane bending due to the inverse flexoelectric effect are two examples of such electromechanical coupling. We have looked for membrane motions in an electric field using atomic (or scanning) force microscopy (AFM) with the intent of studying voltage-dependent conformational changes of ion channels. Voltage-clamped HEK293 cells were either untransfected controls or transfected with Shaker K+ channels. Using a +/- 10-mV peak-peak AC carrier stimulus, untransfected cells moved 0.5-15 nm normal to the plane of the membrane. These movements tracked the voltage at frequencies >1 kHz with a phase lead of 60-120 degrees, as expected of a displacement current. The movement was outward with depolarization, but the holding potential only weakly influenced the amplitude of the movement. In contrast, cells transfected with a noninactivating mutant of Shaker K+channels showed similar movements, but these were sensitive to the holding potential; decreasing with depolarization between -80 and 0 mV. Searching for artifactual origins of these movements, we used open or sealed pipettes and AFM cantilever placements just above the cells. These results were negative, suggesting that the observed movements were produced by the cell membrane rather than by movement of the patch pipette, or by acoustic or electrical interactions of the membrane with the AFM tip. In control cells, the electrical motor may arise from the flexoelectric effect, where changes in potential induce changes in curvature. In transfected cells, it appears that channel-specific movements also occurred. These experiments demonstrate that the AFM may be able to exploit voltage-dependent movements as a source of contrast for imaging membrane components. The electrically induced motility will cause twitching during action potentials, and may have physiological consequences.
