Article Abstract

Imaging-based measurement methods of polarization aberration (PA) are indispensable in hyper-numerical aperture projection optics for advanced lithography. However, the current methods are derived from the Kirchhoff model and ignore the 3D mask effect of the test mask, which will impact the measurement accuracy. In this paper, a novel imaging-based measurement method of PA is proposed based on a rigorous imaging model to improve the measurement accuracy. Through the quantitative description of the 3D mask effect, a rigorous imaging-based measurement model of PA is established. A synchronous orientation measurement method is designed to effectively reduce the cost of establishing the overdetermined equations. A deep neural network is used to retrieve the PA accurately. Simulations show that the proposed method effectively eliminates the impact of the 3D mask effect of test mask on PA measurement, and the measurement error is reduced by 72% compared with the measurement method based on the Kirchhoff model.

3D imaging based on phase-shifting structured light is widely used in industrial measurement due to its non-contact nature. However, it typically requires a large number of additional images (multi-frequency heterodyne (M-FH) method) or introduces intensity features that compromise accuracy (space domain modulation phase-shifting (SDM-PS) method) for phase unwrapping, and it remains sensitive to motion. To overcome these issues, this article proposes a nonlinear phase coding-based stereo phase unwrapping (NPC-SPU) method that requires no additional patterns while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Evidence for cognitive compensation mechanism in the postoperative delirium: a prospective multi-modal neuroimaging cohort study.

Brain Imaging Behav

September 2025

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, South 4th Ring West Road 119, Fengtai District, Beijing, 100070, China.

To explore the effect of brain cognitive compensation on the pathogenesis of postoperative delirium (POD) in the frontal glioma patients. Eighty-four adult patients with unilateral frontal glioma who underwent elective craniotomy and 37 healthy controls were recruited. Primary outcomes were POD during postoperative 1-7 days, as assessed by Confusion Assessment Method.

Objective: This multicenter study aimed to investigate resting-state brain functional alterations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbid with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms.

Methods: A total of 139 participants were enrolled from two centers, including 48 healthy controls (HCs), 46 T2DM patients, and 45 T2DM with OSA patients. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to assess brain function using degree centrality (DC), amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), and seed-based functional connectivity (FC).

Functional Thoracic MRI: Recent Advances in Pulmonary Assessment.

Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging

October 2025

Edinburgh Imaging and Centre for Cardiovascular Science, Queens Medical Research Institute, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Functional thoracic MRI provides regional assessment of the three principal components of lung function: ventilation, perfusion, and gas exchange. It offers advantages over pulmonary function tests like spirometry, which yield only global measurements. MRI enables comprehensive evaluation of respiratory mechanics, including chest wall and diaphragm motion, dynamic large airway instability, and lung ventilation using various contrast mechanisms and gas agents.

Background: Indwelling urinary catheters are widely used in hospitalized patients but can be inadvertently dislodged due to trauma, leading to complications such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections and urological injuries.

Case Report: An 87-year-old man developed a seminal vesicle abscess (SVA) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa following urethral injury due to accidental urinary catheter dislodgement. The patient presented with hematuria and penile bleeding following dislodgement of the urinary catheter, and subsequently developed fever and a urinary tract infection.
