Cavernous Breast Hemangioma Mimicking an Invasive Lesion on Contrast-Enhanced MRI by Menelaos Zafrakas, Panayiota Papasozomenou, Panayiotis Eskitzis, Demetrios Zouzoulas, Glyceria Boulogianni, Thomas Zaramboukas

“…We present a rare case of a 43-year-old woman with a cavernous hemangioma of the breast, presenting only on MRI and evading mammographic and ultrasonographic imaging. On breast MRI, a small lesion with irregular margins was detected in the right breast, and following gadolinium contrast medium administration, a type 3 curve, with rapid initial rise, followed by reduction in enhancement (washout) in the delayed phase was noted, raising suspicion for malignancy. …”

Multi-functional broadband diffractive neural network with a single spatial light modulator by Bolin Li, Yinfei Zhu, Jinlei Fei, Runshi Zheng, Min Gu, Jian Lin

“…Single- and dual-wavelength filtering and focusing, as well as spatial wavelength demultiplexing of supercontinuum, are experimentally demonstrated using the two-layer DNN, whereas the one-layer DNN is experimentally demonstrated by the classification of hand-written digits, which are input by the first layer via holographic imaging. The designed DNN could operate independently or be readily integrated with other optical systems and may find applications in spectroscopy, microscopy, and information technology.…”
