Cartilage Injury after Patellar Dislocation Surgery and Evaluation of the Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment by Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques Based MRI

The study focused on the application value of Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques (ART) based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of cartilage injury in patients with patellar dislocation, as well as the treatment effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 50 patients with patellar dislocation admitted to the hospital were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into the experimental group (lateral retinaculum plasty and PRP treatment) and the control group (lateral retinaculum plasty), with 25 cases in each group. The ART-based MRI technology was used to judge the recovery of patients after surgery and analyze the differences in clinical data between the two groups. The results showed that the running speed under ART algorithm was significantly faster than the traditional Joseph algorithm and Siddon algorithm, and the image reconstruction effect was better. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of preoperative and postoperative pain and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score in the experimental group were better than those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, the ART-based MRI technology can clearly show cartilage injury and the PRP treatment can effectively relieve postoperative pain, with reliable curative effects and simple operations.

Row Action Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques Implementation in Graphic Cards using SCILAB (Benchmark in Medical Imaging, Seismic Imaging and Walnut Imaging)

In this article we present a SCILAB implementation of algebraic iterative reconstruction methods for discretisation of inverse problems in imaging. These so-called row action methods rely on semi-convergence for achieving the necessary regularisation of the problem. We implement this method using SCILAB and provide a few simplified test problems: medical tomography, seismic tomography and walnut tomography.Numerical results show the capability of this method for the original and perturbed right-hand side vector.

High-speed tomography under extreme conditions at the PSICHE beamline of the SOLEIL Synchrotron

In situmicrotomography at high pressure and temperature has developed rapidly in the last decade, driven by the development of new high-pressure apparatus. It is now routinely possible to characterize material under high pressure with acquisition times for tomograms of the order of tens of minutes. Here, advantage was taken of the possibility to combine the use of a pink beam projected through a standard Paris–Edinburgh press in order to demonstrate the possibility to perform high-speed synchrotron X-ray tomography at high pressure and temperature allowing complete high-resolution tomograms to be acquired in about 10 s. This gives direct visualization to rapidly evolving or unstable systems, such as flowing liquids or reacting components, and avoids assumptions in the interpretation of quenched samples. Using algebraic reconstruction techniques allows the missing angle artefacts that result from the columns of the press to be minimized.
