Abstract

An algorithm of Dutt and Rokhlin (SIAM J Sci Comput 1993;14:1368-1383) for the computation of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of nonuniformly-spaced data samples has been extended to two dimensions for application to MRI image reconstruction. The 2D nonuniform or generalized FFT (GFFT) was applied to the reconstruction of simulated MRI data collected on radially oriented sinusoidal excursions in k-space (ROSE) and spiral k-space trajectories. The GFFT was compared to conventional Kaiser-Bessel kernel convolution regridding reconstruction in terms of image reconstruction quality and speed of computation. Images reconstructed with the GFFT were similar in quality to the Kaiser-Bessel kernel reconstructions for 256(2) pixel image reconstructions, and were more accurate for smaller 64(2) pixel image reconstructions. Close inspection of the GFFT reveals it to be equivalent to a convolution regridding method with a Gaussian kernel. The Gaussian kernel had been dismissed in earlier literature as nonoptimal compared to the Kaiser-Bessel kernel, but a theorem for the GFFT, bounding the approximation error, and the results of the numerical experiments presented here show that this dismissal was based on a nonoptimal selection of Gaussian ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
