Three-dimensional aortic arch geometry and blood flow in neonates after surgical repair for aortic coarctation by Katrin Fricke, Katrin Fricke, Lea Christierson, Lea Christierson, Lea Christierson, Einar Heiberg, Einar Heiberg, Pia Sjöberg, Pia Sjöberg, Erik Hedström, Erik Hedström, Erik Hedström, Erik Hedström, Kristoffer Steiner, Constance G. Weismann, Constance G. Weismann, Constance G. Weismann, Johannes Töger, Johannes Töger, Petru Liuba, Petru Liuba

“…BackgroundRecurrent coarctation of the aorta (re-CoA) is a well-known although not fully understood complication after surgical repair, typically occurring in 10%–20% of cases within months after discharge.ObjectivesTo (1) characterize geometry of the aortic arch and blood flow from pre-discharge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates after CoA repair; and (2) compare these measures between patients that developed re-CoA within 12 months after repair and patients who did not.MethodsNeonates needing CoA repair, without associated major congenital heart defects, were included. …”

A human visual cognitive mechanism based network for surface defect detection(基于人类视觉认知机制的表面缺陷检测) by 崔丽莎(CUI Lisha), 代润鹏(DAI Runpeng), 姜晓恒(JIANG Xiaoheng), 李飞蝶(LI Feidie), 陈恩庆(CHEN Enqing), 徐明亮(XU Mingliang)

“…Specifically, at the macro level, by simulating the working principles of the foveal and parafoveal areas on the retina, a parallel backbone network consisting of a foveal vision branch and a peripheral vision branch is proposed, learning high spatial frequency local details and low spatial frequency global semantics from defective images. At the micro level, the dynamic weighting fusion module (DWFM) dynamically integrates the output feature maps of the two branches in an adaptive manner, enabling the model to learn and filter more comprehensive, accurate, and complementary defect features. …”
