Article Abstract
Spherical arrays are commonly used in volumetric optoacoustic tomography for optimal data acquisition. Yet, such a configuration poses challenges for integration with pulse-echo ultrasound used for image guidance, which relies on different signal acquisition and image formation strategies. A potential solution entails the incorporation of linear array segments into the spherical array to enable hybrid 3D optoacoustic and 2D ultrasound (OPUS) modes. This study aims to optimize ultrasound performance in a hybrid multi-segment spherical array for clinically interpretable images. Focusing on the independent and combined effects of image compounding, the number of consecutive emitting elements, and Richardson-Lucy deconvolution, quantitative analyses of phantom images showed marked improvements in image contrast and resolution. Clinical imaging of a healthy volunteer demonstrated that landmark structures could be effectively enhanced. This work establishes a practical framework for improving ultrasound imaging in OPUS, representing a significant step toward the clinical translation of optoacoustic imaging.

∆B shim optimization performed at the beginning of an MR scan is unable to correct for ∆B field inhomogeneities caused by patient motion or hardware instability during scans. Navigator-based methods have been demonstrated previously to be effective for motion and shim correction. The purpose of this work was to accelerate volumetric navigators to allow fast acquisition of the parent navigated sequence with short real-time feedback time and high spatial resolution of the ∆B field mapping.

Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that premyopia shows high prevalence and high risk of progression to myopia among children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of 0.01% atropine eye drops and novel positive Lenslet-ARray-Integrated spectacle lenses (LARI) in slowing myopia onset and myopic shift among children with premyopia in China.
