Abstract: In an embodiment, a set of text is received. Initial audio content substantially corresponding to a voice of a user, associated with the set of text and generated by a text-to-speech (TTS) model that was trained using training data that includes audio of the user, is received. A subset of text from the set of text that is to be recorded by the user is identified, based on analysis of the initial audio content. A signal indicating that the subset of text are to be recorded by the user is sent to cause the second compute device to generate a user recording. A representation of the user recording is received. Portions of the initial audio content associated with the subset of text are caused to be updated using the user recording to generate updated audio content.

Abstract: A phased array ultrasonic testing device for positioning first and second phased array probes relative to a surface of a material to be tested. The testing device includes a first wedge configured to receive and orient the first phased array probe relative to the surface. A second wedge is configured to receive and orient the second phased array probe relative to the surface. A coupling structure is mounted to the first and second wedges and configured to selectively provide for the first and second wedges to move parallel to one another in a first direction and restrict relative movement of the first and second wedges in other directions.

Abstract: Distortion correction is provided in magnetic resonance imaging. Distortions in one volume are corrected using another volume. The isocenter of the other volume is nearer to an edge of the one volume than the isocenter of the one volume. Using data registration, the other volume is used to correct distortions in the one volume. The other volume may be acquired in little time relative to the acquisition of the one volume by having a smaller field of view, lower resolution, and/or smaller signal-to-noise ratio. The other volume may be a connecting volume for correcting distortions in two volumes to be composed together.

Abstract: Small tissue property change detection is provided for magnetic resonance (MR) guided intervention. T1 changes from before and after treatment are compared. The comparison identifies locations of possible change. The comparison is performed for different times, one before and one after a zero-crossing of a signal intensity time curve. Due to the characteristics of the T1 mapping, common locations from the different times will have reversed contrast. Clustering and this reversal are used to distinguish the treatment region from noise.
