  • In this study, we determinate the differential emission measure(DEM) of solar corona using three SDO/AIA EUV channel images and three AI-generated ones. To generate the AI-generated images, we apply a deep learning model based on multi-layer perceptrons by assuming that all pixels in solar EUV images are independent of one another. For the input data, we use three SDO/AIA EUV channels (171, 193, and 211). For the target data, we use other three SDO/AIA EUV channels (94, 131, and 335). We train the model using 358 pairs of SDO/AIA EUV images at every 00:00 UT in 2011. We use SDO/AIA pixels within 1.2 solar radii to consider not only the solar disk but also above the limb. We apply our model to several brightening patches and loops in SDO/AIA images for the determination of DEMs. Our main results from this study are as follows. First, our model successfully generates three solar EUV channel images using the other three channel images. Second, the noises in the AI-generated EUV channel images are greatly reduced compared to the original target ones. Third, the estimated DEMs using three SDO/AIA images and three AI-generated ones are similar to those using three SDO/AIA images and three stacked (50 frames) ones. These results imply that our deep learning model is able to analyze temperature response functions of SDO/AIA channel images, showing a sufficient possibility that AI-generated data can be used for multi-wavelength studies of various scientific fields.

  • We develop an image-to-image translation model, which is a popular deep learning method based on conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs), to generate solar magnetograms and EUV images from sunspot drawings. For this, we train the model using pairs of sunspot drawings from Mount Wilson Observatory (MWO) and their corresponding SDO/HMI magnetograms and SDO/AIA EUV images (512 by 512) from January 2012 to September 2014. We test the model by comparing pairs of actual SDO images (magnetogram and EUV images) and the corresponding AI-generated ones from October to December in 2014. Our results show that bipolar structures and coronal loop structures of AI-generated images are consistent with those of the original ones. We find that their unsigned magnetic fluxes well correlate with those of the original ones with a good correlation coefficient of 0.86. We also obtain pixel-to-pixel correlations EUV images and AI-generated ones. The average correlations of 92 test samples for several SDO lines are very good: 0.88 for AIA 211, 0.87 for AIA 1600 and 0.93 for AIA 1700. These facts imply that AI-generated EUV images quite similar to AIA ones. Applying this model to the Galileo sunspot drawings in 1612, we generate HMI-like magnetograms and AIA-like EUV images of the sunspots. This application will be used to generate solar images using historical sunspot drawings.

  • The anterior interosseous artery (AIA) perforator flap is not commonly used in hand dorsum reconstruction compared with alternatives. However, it is a versatile flap with several advantages. Literature on the AIA perforator flap is based on the dorsal septocutaneous branch (DSB), which branches from the AIA and passes through fascia between the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis muscles. In the described case, the authors reconstructed a hand dorsum defect in a 78-year-old man using an AIA perforator flap with double perforators supplied by the DSB and a new perforator branching from the distal than DSB. No complication was encountered, and the flap survived completely. A retrospective computed tomography review revealed the presence of the new perforator in 14 of 21 patients. Two types of new perforator were observed. One passed through the ulnar side of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) muscle and penetrated fascia between the extensor digitorum minimi and extensor digitorum communis tendons, whereas the other passed between the EPL and EIP muscles. This report describes the anatomical location and clinical application of the new AIA perforators. The double perforators-based AIA flap provides a straightforward, reliable means of reconstructing hand dorsum defects.
