This study examines the inherent systematic biases in the indirect method, and explores the differences between the two methods, including how methodological parameters, such as the number of accepted field-of-view (FOV) images and guideline length, affect the measurement.<i>Approach.</i>We developed an automated MLI measurement system that uses a multiresolution semantic segmentation model. The system enables both indirect and direct MLI methods and allows for controlled variation of measurement parameters. The number of accepted FOVs was varied from 10 to 1000, and the guideline length from 39 to 702 pixels (19.4-349.5<i>µ</i>m).<i>Main results.</i>The indirect method consistently overestimated MLI due to Septa Bias and Partial Chord Bias. The standard error of MLI decreases with more accepted FOV images, and the direct method consistently yielded a lower standard error than the indirect method. Short guideline lengths (<135.9<i>µ</i>m) have a large impact on the indirect method, whereas the direct method is relatively insensitive to this parameter.<i>Significance.</i>The automated MLI measurement system improves the efficiency over human raters and enables higher precision by leveraging the advantages of the direct method (e.g. lower standard error, low sensitivity to guideline length) and the analysis of a larger number of FOV images.

There is growing interest in the use of physiological signals beyond electrocardiography (ECG), particularly photoplethysmography-based noninvasive arterial blood pressure (nABP), to assess autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity with minimal recording durations. This study compared heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse rate variability (PRV) derived from ECG and nABP, respectively. We investigated how signal shortening and calculation window size affect time-domain, frequency-domain, and nonlinear ANS metrics.<i>Approach</i>. Photoplethysmography was used to measure nABP, whereas ECG was recorded with a 3-lead device in healthy individuals (18-31 years). The HRV and PRV were analyzed using time- and frequency-domain metrics, and nonlinear indices, including entropy metrics and Poincaré plots (SD1, SD2). Agreement between signal lengths of 3 min and 5 min was assessed in 86 nABP and 70 ECG participants using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). To evaluate the effect of window size, 15 min recordings from 16 participants were segmented into windows of 3 min, 5 min, and 15 min. HRV-PRV agreement was evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis.<i>Main results</i>. The time-domain metrics demonstrated excellent reproducibility when the signal length (ICCs ⩾ 0.96) and window size (ICCs ⩾ 0.98) were shortened, but moderate agreement between HRV and PRV. Entropy metrics were most affected by signal shortening (e.g. HRV multiscale entropy ICC (95%CI]): 0.67 (0.47-0.80); PRV approximate entropy: 0.45 (0.15-0.64)). Shorter window sizes affected selected ANS metrics, including reduced SD2 (<i>p</i>= 0.003 for HRV,<i>p</i>< 0.001 for PRV) and increased frequency-domain values (<i>p</i>< 0.001 for HRV and PRV).<i>Significance</i>. Time-domain metrics are more robust to reductions in signal length and calculation window size but demonstrate lower interchangeability between HRV and PRV.

While the hemodynamic profiles of the three stent types exhibit general consistency, distinctions in local hemodynamics arise from the varied pore densities inherent to each stent design. Notably, the B-type stent, characterized by their moderate pore density, demonstrates comparatively stable hemodynamics relative to the other stent types. Additionally, stent implantation impacts areas of the vascular wall not covered by the stent, with notable hemodynamic changes also manifesting in these regions.<i>Significance.</i>The implantation of stents has a significant impact on the hemodynamics inside the blood vessels. Specifically, abnormal hemodynamic changes near the stents can inflict damage to the blood vessel wall, thus accelerating the occurrence of complications.

Initially, a face detection algorithm is integrated with a grayscale clustering technique to pinpoint optimal ROIs. This is followed by the application of the mutual information delay method to synthesize multi-channel IPPG signals.

The synergistic application of these methodologies substantially bolsters the stability and robustness of nighttime HR measurements, particularly in conditions characterized by significant motion.&lt;i&gt;Main results.&lt;/i&gt;The efficacy of the proposed method, which incorporates HRFFC-FastICA, is initially validated through performance testing using the MR-NIRP dataset. This step serves to assess the practicality of the approach for nighttime IPPG HR measurements. Following this, a series of modular ablation studies and comparative evaluations against current nighttime IPPG algorithms are executed. The statistical outcomes demonstrate that our method achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.57 beats per minute (bpm) and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 5.95 bpm. In direct comparison with prominent algorithms such as SparsePPG and PhysNet, the method exhibits a notable enhancement in MAE by up to 8.39 bpm and a significant decrease in RMSE by 17.83 bpm. The 95% confidence interval of the Bland-Altman graph of this method is between 9.5 and -12.8 bpm. Compared to other comparable methods, this interval is significantly narrower, with a width nearly half that of alternative approaches, indicating superior precision and reliability.&lt;i&gt;Significance.&lt;/i&gt;The significance of this research is highlighted by the experimental outcomes that demonstrate the considerable advantages of the TDMDE-ROI-Ex method.
