Estimating intravoxel fiber architecture using constrained compressed sensing combined with multitensor adaptive smoothing

In diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), the accuracy of fiber tracking and analysis depends directly on that of intravoxel fiber architecture reconstruction. Several methods have been proposed that estimate intravoxel fiber architecture using low angular resolution acquisitions owing to their shorter acquisition time and relatively low b‐values. But these methods are highly sensitive to noise. We propose an approach to estimating intravoxel fiber architecture in low angular resolution dMRI. The method consists in using a constrained compressed sensing (CCS) method, also known as crossing fiber angular resolution of intravoxel architecture (CFARI) technique, in combination with multitensor adaptive smoothing in which a diffusion‐weighted (DW) image smoothing scheme is constructed according to the properties of the multitensor field estimated using CFARI. The results on synthetic, physical phantom and real brain DW images show that the proposed method is able to better resolve fiber architectures while correctly preserving image edge information, which provides a new tool for investigating the microstructures of biological tissues and for fiber tractography. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of prolonged and lower temperature aged Fe–Ni–Mn–Mo–Ti–Cr maraging steel

In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe–Ni–Mn–Mo–Ti–Cr maraging steel at low temperature and prolonged aging condition were investigated. Optical and scanning electron microscopy examinations, tensile and hardness tests were conducted to study the microstructure, aging behavior and mechanical properties of the cold‐rolled steel. The results showed that aging of cold rolled Fe–Ni–Mn–Mo–Ti–Cr maraging steel resulted in the formation of Mo rich and Ti rich Lave phase precipitates. Existence of many dislocation cores due to cold rolling and subsequently, low temperature aging caused to formation of uniform distribution of very fine precipitates. The presence of these precipitates increased the yield and ultimate tensile strengths but couldn't improve the uniform tensile ductility. This alloy showed ultra‐high fracture stress of about 1950 MPa with a negligible tensile elongation (about 2 %) at the peak aged condition. The fractographic studies indicated this alloy shows semi‐brittle fracture in the subsequent aging treatment.
