This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

A Simple, Dynamic Geometric Phantom for MRI and CT Reconstruction Pipelines: Beyond Shepp–Logan
ABSTRACT A customizable, dynamic geometric phantom was developed to bridge the gap between simplistic static phantoms and highly realistic, complex 4D solutions. The phantom enables initial testing, helps detect implementation errors, and supports quantitative evaluation of new dynamic acquisition and reconstruction methods.

“Two‐For‐One”: 4D Cardiac and Pulmonary MR Imaging From a Single Acquisition Using bSTAR
ABSTRACT Purpose To generate 4D (3D+time) images of both the heart and lungs using a single volumetric radial free‐breathing bSSFP dual echo acquisition (bSTAR) with two image reconstructions within a single pipeline deployed inline at 0.55 and 1.5 T.
