Article Abstract

The introduction of the light-sheet microscope has facilitated the analysis of complete tissues for the presence of all cells and their location in relation to their niche. This contributes to a better understanding of cellular locations and interactions in organs. In the last decade, many new and improved protocols have been published which are essential to improve staining and visualization of the immune-fluorescence within different tissues. In this article, we will discuss two main protocols we have used to visualize tissue-resident macrophages.

Volume correlative light and electron microscopy (vCLEM) is a powerful imaging technique that enables the visualization of fluorescently labeled proteins within their ultrastructural context. Currently, vCLEM alignment relies on time-consuming and subjective manual methods. This paper presents CLEM-Reg, an algorithm that automates the three-dimensional alignment of vCLEM datasets by leveraging probabilistic point cloud registration techniques.

Background: Patients with synchronous bilateral Wilms tumor (BWT) face challenges in balancing oncological control and nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). This study aimed to identify objective criteria for NSS in BWT by applying SIOP RTSG 2016 Umbrella Study criteria, the RENAL nephrometry scoring system, three-dimensional (3D) tumor volume measurements, and residual healthy kidney volume assessment.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 patients with synchronous BWT.

Purpose: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the most commonly used technique for target localization in radiation therapy. Four-dimensional CBCT (4D CBCT) is valuable for localizing tumors in the lung and liver regions, where the localization accuracy is affected by respiratory motions. However, in image-guided radiation therapy for organs subject to respiratory motion, position verification is often performed using 3D cone beam CT or 2D X-ray images.

Achieving optimal alignment and fit is a key aspect of ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) design, as it directly influences the effectiveness of the device. While digital workflows offer the potential to integrate quantifiable alignment measures and corrections into AFO design, a major challenge remains in controlling lower-limb positioning and alignment during 3D scanning. This study aimed to evaluate pediatric AFO alignment and shape differences of directly scanned (live scan) vs casted lower limb models.
