Article Abstract
This study aims to overcome the limitations of conventional plunge tests for evaluating resistance temperature detector (RTD) response times under actual operating conditions, particularly in confined nuclear power plant piping. An in situ measurement device based on the loop current step response (LCSR) method was developed, with a conversion relationship to plunge test results established through numerical simulation and experimental validation. Investigations in a rotating water channel (over the flow velocity range of 0.2 to 0.6) confirmed excellent agreement in RTD response time, showing only 3.78% deviation between second-order-converted LCSR and plunge test measurements at 0.6 m/s. Both methods consistently revealed reduced RTD response times at higher flow velocities, with deviations consistently within ±10%, complying with nuclear instrumentation standards (NB/T 20069-2012). The LCSR method enables reliable in situ assessment while maintaining strong correlation with laboratory plunge tests.

Introduction: Lung cancer screening has been recommended by the United States Preventive Services Taskforce since 2013. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services coverage decision in early 2015 required data submission to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-approved registry for facilities to receive payment for screening. Only the American College of Radiology's Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR) received approval for this purpose.

Purpose: Although lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is recommended for high-risk populations, little is known about how clinical screening compares with research trials. We compared Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) scores between a nationally screened population from the ACR's LCS Registry (LCSR) and the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST).
Methods: This retrospective study included baseline LDCT examinations from the LCSR and NLST.

Untethered microrobots offer the possibility to perform medical interventions in anatomically complex and small regions in the body. Presently, it is necessary to access the upper urinary tract to diagnose and treat Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC). Diagnostic and treatment challenges include ensuring adequate tissue sampling, accurately grading the disease, achieving completeness in endoscopic treatment, and consistently delivering medications to targeted sites.

Purpose: Skullbase surgery demands exceptional precision when removing bone in the lateral skull base. Robotic assistance can alleviate the effect of human sensory-motor limitations. However, the stiffness and inertia of the robot can significantly impact the surgeon's perception and control of the tool-to-tissue interaction forces.
