Abstract Clothing plays a fundamental role in digital humans. Current approaches to animate 3D garments are mostly based on realistic physics simulation, however, they typically suffer from two main issues: high computational run‐time cost, which hinders their deployment; and simulation‐to‐real gap, impedes the synthesis of specific real‐world cloth samples. To circumvent both issues we propose...

background: lead-based radiation shields are widely used in radiology departments to protect both workers and patients from any unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. recently there has been a great deal of concern expressed about the toxicity of lead. human lead toxicity is well documented. in that light, production of environmentally-friendly lead-free radiation shields with less weight ...

SUMMARY We report a case of a thermal burn that occurred during MR imaging likely caused by invisible silver-embedded microfibers in the fabric of an undershirt. As the prevalence of fabric containing nondetectable metallic microfiber increases in athletic and "tech" clothing, the importance of having patients change into safe facility-provided garments before MR imaging is emphasized.

A method has been devised to allow reliable comparison of different strengths and constructions of support hosiery. Five garments were evaluated for the compression they exerted on the leg and their ability to limit the distension of a model varicose vein. Stockings and tights which provide modest compression can achieve worthwhile control of vein distension.
