Article Abstract
Purpose: The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often limited in patients with auditory implants because of the presence of metallic components and magnets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of a customized MRI sequence for metal artifact suppression in patients with BONEBRIDGETM BCI 602 implants (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria), the successor of the BCI 601 model.
Methods: Using our in-house developed and customized metal artifact reduction sequence (SEMAC-VAT WARP), MRI artifacts were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. MRI sequences were performed with and without artifact reduction on two whole head specimens with and without the BCI 602 implant. In addition, the influence of two different implantation sites (mastoid versus retrosigmoid) and head orientation on artifact presence was investigated.
Results: Artifact volume was reduced by more than the 50%. Results were comparable with those obtained with the BCI 601, showing no significant differences in the dimensions of artifacts caused by the implant.
Conclusion: SEMAC-VAT WARP was once more proved to be efficient at reducing metal artifacts on MR images. The dimensions of artifacts associated with the BCI 602 are not smaller than those caused by the BCI 601.

Magnetic-field enhancement of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a promising route toward more efficient alkaline water electrolyzers, yet its origin remains debated due to overlapping effects of mass transport and reaction kinetics. Here, we present a general experimental strategy that employs strong forced convection to suppress uncontrolled transport arising from natural diffusion and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Using polycrystalline Au electrodes, we show that this approach resolves subtle OER variations under controlled flow and field conditions.

Under-display camera (UDC) systems enable full-screen displays in smartphones by embedding the camera beneath the display panel, eliminating the need for notches or punch holes. However, the periodic pixel structures of display panels introduce significant optical diffraction effects, leading to imaging artifacts and degraded visual quality. Conventional approaches to mitigate these distortions, such as deep learning-based image reconstruction, are often computationally expensive and unsuitable for real-time applications in consumer electronics.

The technique uses a radiopaque 3D-printed tray to take impressions and complete data alignment of the dental arches where implants are planned. From the impressions, 3D Boolean inversion is performed to obtain the surface mesh of teeth and virtually remove the undercut of dentition mesh before an implant surgical guide is designed.

These advances may allow for more aggressive dose reduction in CT imaging while maintaining image quality and diagnostic accuracy. However, performance of DLRs is impacted by the type of framework and training data used.

MRI compatible MEMS neural probes are critical for advancing functional neuroimaging and elucidating brain network dynamics, yet conventional metallic implants distort magnetic fields, generate artifacts, and pose thermal risks during MRI. Here, a metal-free neural probe based on multilayer graphene (MLG), fabricated via a scalable, low-temperature spin-spray deposition and co-curing process that directly bonds MLG to flexible polyimide substrates is presented. The MLG neural probe's intrinsic roughness enhances electrochemical performance, achieving a charge storage capacity (14.
