Diffusion

216.9K
Diffusion is the passive movement of substances down their concentration gradients—requiring no expenditure of cellular energy. Substances, such as molecules or ions, diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in the cytosol or across membranes. Eventually, the concentration will even out, with the substance moving randomly but causing no net change in concentration. Such a state is called dynamic equilibrium, which is essential for maintaining overall...

Diffusion

Diffusion is a type of passive transport. In passive transport, a substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until the concentration is equal across the space. For example, take the diffusion of substances through the air. When someone opens a perfume bottle in a room filled with people, the perfume is at its highest concentration in the bottle and is at its lowest at the edges of the room. The perfume vapor will diffuse, or spread away, from the...

Apparent Weight01:09

Apparent Weight

9.8K
True weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. However, if the object accelerates, its measured weight is different from its true weight. Similar observations can be made when the object is submerged in water. An object's weight in water is its apparent weight, which is equal to the difference between its true weight and the buoyant forces.
Consider a person standing on a bathroom scale inside an elevator. If the scale is accurate at rest, its reading equals the...

Apparent Weight and the Earth's Rotation

4.1K
Since all objects on the Earth's surface move through a circle every 24 hours, there must be a net centripetal force on each object, directed towards the center of that circle. The points of the north and south poles are the only exception to this rule.
For an object on the Earth's equator, the net centripetal force that accounts for its rotation is the Earth's pull towards its center, or the weight minus the normal force that prevents it from piercing into the Earth's surface....

Improving Translational Accuracy

14.1K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Noise in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) introduces bias in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) quantification.
  • Existing noise correction methods are often site-specific, require manual intervention, and are not fully ready for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fully automatic computational method for correcting noise bias in ADC quantification.
  • To evaluate this method in clinical prostate diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).

Main Methods:

  • A pseudo replica approach for noise map calculation.
  • Direct mapping and stepwise Chebyshev polynomial modeling for ADC fitting.
  • Implementation on scanner and offline for automatic noise-bias-compensated ADC calculation.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated significantly smaller error percentages in computer simulations compared to other methods.
  • In diffusion phantom studies, the method showed results more consistent with ground truth values, unlike conventional methods that underestimated ADC with low SNR.
  • Clinical evaluation showed improved agreement in prostate ADC values between different coil acquisitions when using the proposed method.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automatic method effectively compensates for noise bias in low-SNR DWI acquisitions.
  • This leads to improved accuracy in prostate ADC quantification.
  • The method shows potential for both clinical imaging and research applications involving ADC quantification.
