The paper considers some articulatory features of allophones of the vowel /i/ in the Altai-Kizhi dialect (spoken in the locality Ust-Kan, Altai) of the Altai language visualized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Altai-Kizhi is the central basic dialect of the Altai literary language. In Altai, each rural locality represents a unique dialect, whose relevance of studying was emphasized by V. V. Radlov. Speech sounds of the /i/-type in the dialects of the Altai language are realized mainly as front variants with different degrees of openness. In the written Altai speech, the symbol “и” is used to denote narrow front non-labialized vowel; some variants of the Altai vowel /i/ are central-back differing in this from the Russian vowel /i/. Experimental data on the territorial dialects of the Altai-Kizhi dialect, obtained from its 6 native speakers (d1-d6) taking into account variable inherent palate height, shows both the common articulation bases of native speakers (clearly-expressed frontness) and their differences (variable openness).

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is better than other imaging equipment in detecting tumors, and navigation for robotic breast intervention biopsy. However, material requirements for robots driving devices are demanding incredibly because of the environment. Given this problem, a novel double cable-conduit driving method is put forward in this paper, which can be used in MRI for breast intervention robots. Besides, lebus grooves are adopted to the driving wheels, which enable the system to realize remote-range and large-scale driving on the premise that the precision can be further enhanced. The driving characteristic of the novel cable-conduit is established. Moreover, the cable-conduit experimental data proves the results of theoretical deduction. Finally, the cable-conduit driving device is compensated, the average errors in the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] directions of the needle tip entering the tissue are less than 2[Formula: see text]mm. The consequence verifies that it can meet the requirements for breast biopsy robot application under MR environment.

ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often modality of choice to evaluate the sports related injuries involving knee joint. It is important for the clinicians to identify the common injuries pattern seen on MRI for quick management. How to cite this article Prakash M, Sinha A, Dhillon M, Khandelwal N.

AbstractArticular cartilage of the knee can be evaluated with high accuracy by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in preoperative patients with knee pain, but image quality and reporting are variable. This article discusses the normal MRI appearance of articular cartilage as well as the common MRI abnormalities of knee cartilage that may be considered for operative treatment. This article focuses on a practical approach to preoperative MRI of knee articular cartilage using routine MRI techniques. Current and future directions of knee MRI related to articular cartilage are also discussed.

AbstractWhen it comes to examining the brachial plexus, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary investigations. US is well placed for screening most extraforaminal pathologies, whereas MRI is more sensitive and accurate for specific clinical indications. For example, MRI is probably the preferred technique for assessment of trauma because it enables a thorough evaluation of both the intraspinal and extraspinal elements, although US can depict extraforaminal neural injury with a high level of accuracy. Conversely, US is probably the preferred technique for examination of neurologic amyotrophy because a more extensive involvement beyond the brachial plexus is the norm, although MRI is more sensitive than US for evaluating muscle denervation associated with this entity. With this synergy in mind, this review highlights the tips for examining the brachial plexus with US and MRI.
