Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of extended-field-of-view 2-dimensional ultrasonography technique in superficial lesions.
Methods: During a 6-month period, 44 patients with superficial lesions on various parts of their bodies were evaluated with extended-field-of-view ultrasonography in addition to routine traditional 2-dimensional ultrasonography. If the diagnosis could not be made without the extended-field-of-view images, it was considered diagnostic. The radiologist decided if the extended-field-of-view ultrasonography helped spatial orientation, communicate findings, or compare the contralateral side in a single image, or if it was useful for follow-up evaluation.
Results: By using extended-field-of-view imaging including the surrounding anatomy, 22 musculoskeletal, 8 scrotal, 8 thyroid, 2 breast, and 4 abdominal wall lesions were documented successfully as a single image. Nevertheless, no new cases were diagnosed solely based on the extended-field-of-view images. Extended-field-of-view ultrasonography was considered helpful for spatial orientation in 25 cases (56.8%), for comparing the contralateral side in 16 cases (36.3%), and for communicating findings in 20 cases (45.4%). It was useful for follow-up evaluation in 13 cases (29.5%).
Conclusions: None of the extended-field-of-view images was diagnostic. However, they did provide valuable additional information and better documentation of the lesions.

Advanced imaging of corneal neovascularisation with a novel swept-source AS-OCTA system.
Br J Ophthalmol

Eye Unit, University of Brescia Department of Medical-Surgical Specialties Radiological Sciences and Public Health, Brescia, Lombardy, Italy.
Aims: To explore the clinical application of a novel swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) system for imaging corneal neovascularisation (CoNV), assessing limbal vasculature and detecting short-term vascular changes following pharmacologic vasoconstriction.
Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 20 eyes: 10 with clinically diagnosed CoNV of various aetiologies and 10 healthy controls. Each eye underwent AS-OCTA imaging using the BMizar 400kHz Full-Range Swept-Source OCT system at baseline and after administration of 10% phenylephrine (PE).
Whole heart perfusion with high-multiband Simultaneous Multislice Imaging via Linear phase modulated Extended field of view (SMILE).

Purpose: To develop a simultaneous multislice (SMS) first-pass perfusion technique that can achieve whole heart coverage with high multi-band factors, while avoiding the issue of slice leakage.
Methods: The proposed Simultaneous Multislice Imaging via Linear phase modulated Extended field of view (SMILE) treats the SMS acquisition and reconstruction within an extended field of view framework, allowing arbitrarily under-sampling of phase encoding lines of the extended k-space matrix and enabling the direct application of 2D parallel imaging reconstruction techniques. We presented a theoretical framework that offers insights into the performance of SMILE.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction induces deleterious neuromuscular alterations. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography provides an accessible method to quantify muscle size and quality in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction who suffer from persistent skeletal muscle atrophy. This study compares rectus femoris and vastus intermedius muscle thicknesses and echo intensities using extended field-of-view ultrasonography in individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction versus non-injured controls.

Two-photon (2P) fluorescence imaging through gradient index (GRIN) lens-based endoscopes is fundamental to investigate the functional properties of neural populations in deep brain circuits. However, GRIN lenses have intrinsic optical aberrations, which severely degrade their imaging performance. GRIN aberrations decrease the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution of fluorescence signals, especially in lateral portions of the field-of-view (FOV), leading to restricted FOV and smaller number of recorded neurons.

Synchrotron radiation-based X-ray microtomography is uniquely suited for post-mortem 3D visualization of organs such as the mouse brain. Tomographic imaging of the entire mouse brain with isotropic cellular resolution requires an extended field-of-view and produces datasets of multiple terabytes in size. These data must be reconstructed, analyzed, and made accessible to domain experts who may have limited image processing knowledge.
