Research progress in unilateral moyamoya disease by Xiaokuan Hao, Cunxin Tan, Ziqi Liu, Yang Tie, Yanru Wang, Shihao He, Ran Duan, Rong Wang, Rong Wang

“…Unilateral moyamoya disease (U-MMD) is a chronic vascular disease characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the terminal end of the internal carotid artery and its main branches, resulting in the appearance of moyamoya-like blood vessels at the base of the brain. The etiology of U-MMD is unknown, it accounts for 9.7–17.8% of all moyamoya disease, and the family incidence is 5.5–13.3%. …”

Streamlined photoacoustic image processing with foundation models: A training-free solution by Handi Deng, Yucheng Zhou, Jiaxuan Xiang, Liujie Gu, Yan Luo, Hai Feng, Mingyuan Liu, Cheng Ma

“…We employed the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by setting simple prompts and integrating the model’s outputs with prior knowledge of the imaged objects to accomplish various tasks, including: (1) removing the skin signal in three-dimensional PA image rendering; (2) dual speed-of-sound reconstruction, and (3) segmentation of finger blood vessels. Through these demonstrations, we have concluded that FMs can be directly applied in PA imaging without the requirement for network design and training. …”
