    Abstract: A method and imaging system for operating imaging computed tomography using at least one radiation source and at least one detector to generate an image of an object. The method includes: defining desired image characteristics; and performing calculations to determine the pattern of fluence to be applied by the at least one radiation source, to generate said desired image quality or characteristics. Then, the at least one radiation source is modulated, to generate the intended pattern of fluence between the beam source and the object to be imaged. The desired image characteristics can provide at least one of: desired image quality in at least one defined region of interest; and at least one desired distribution of said image quality.

    Abstract: Provided are methods and products for obtaining cardiovascular lineage cells from hPSCs. The method for obtaining a cardiomyocyte lineage or an epicardial lineage cell population from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) comprises one or more of the following steps: (a) contacting BMP component primed hPSCs with a cardiovascular mesoderm programming cocktail suitable for inducing the hPSCs to differentiate to a cardiovascular mesoderm cell population under conditions suitable for the programming cocktail to penetrate the hPSCs and culturing the contacted hPSCs for a period of time to generate a KDR+ and PDGFRalpha+ cardiovascular mesoderm cell population; (b) contacting the cardiovascular mesoderm cell population with a cardiovascular progenitor specification cocktail suitable to specify a NKX2-5+ or WT1+ cardiovascular progenitor cell population under conditions suitable for the specification cocktail to penetrate the cardiovascular mesoderm cell population and culturing the contacted cardiovascular mesoderm cell population for a period of time to generate a NKX2-5+ or WT1+ cardiovascular progenitor cell population; and (d) contacting the cardiovascular progenitor cell population with a maturation cocktail under conditions suitable for the maturation cocktail to penetrate the cardiovascular progenitor cell population and culturing the contacted cardiovascular progenitor population for a period of time to produce a cardiovascular population optionally cardiomyocyte lineage cells expressing cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and/or SIRPA and/or epicardial lineage cells expressing WT1.
