Real-time data processing for serial crystallography experiments by Thomas White, Tim Schoof, Sergey Yakubov, Aleksandra Tolstikova, Philipp Middendorf, Mikhail Karnevskiy, Valerio Mariani, Alessandra Henkel, Bjarne Klopprogge, Juergen Hannappel, Dominik Oberthuer, Ivan De Gennaro Aquino, Dmitry Egorov, Anna Munke, Janina Sprenger, Guillaume Pompidor, Helena Taberman, Andrey Gruzinov, Jan Meyer, Johanna Hakanpää, Martin Gasthuber

“…The computational resources required depend on various factors, most significantly the fraction of non-blank frames (`hits'). The average single-thread processing time per frame was 242 ms for blank frames and 455 ms for hits, meaning that a single 96-core computing node was sufficient to keep up with the data, with ample headroom for unexpected throughput reductions. …”

Percutaneous Screw Fixation of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Using Biplanar Fluoroscopy by Emilio Feijoo, BS, Michael J. Conklin, MD

“…This can be performed on a radiolucent “flattop” table or a fracture table, which holds the leg stable and can help with the serendipitous reduction of unstable SCFE's. Pivotal to success is accurate screw placement in the center of the epiphysis, adequate threads crossing the physis, and avoidance of screw penetration into the joint. …”
