SUMMARY: We present a methodology for anatomical modeling, and motion visualization of the human hip joint using MR images and optical motion capture. Subject-specific hip and femur are reconstructed from MRI. The optical motion capture is used to record movements of the same subject resulting, after processing, in the visualization of the animated bones.
Motion artifacts are a significant issue in medical image reconstruction. There are many methods for incorporating motion information into image reconstruction. However, there are fewer studies that focus on deformation regularization in motioncompensated image reconstruction. The usual choice for deformation regularization has been ...

In order to study the effects of AC field ...
We report on the use of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center to probe fluctuating ac magnetic fields. Using engineered currents to induce random changes in the field amplitude and phase, we show that stochastic fluctuations reduce the NV center sensitivity and, in general, make the NV response field-dependent. We also introduce two modalities to determine the field spectral ...
