Interoperator variability in levator hiatus measurements was analyzed. The comparison of the axial image of magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and C-plane image of volume contrast imaging （VCI） in thirty normal nulliparas was also done. It shows that VCI-C can clearly demonstrate the structure and accurately quantitates the size of the levator hiatus. It is reliable, convenient and without contraindication in assessment of female levator hiatus. The technology opens up entirely new modality for assessing female pelvic floor.展开更多

The network densif ication technology is recognized as one promising solution. However,the ultra-dense network scheme suffers from severe interference and frequent handovers,which degrade the system performance significantly. In this paper,a virtual sectorization system leveraging a C-plane(control signaling plane) and U-plane(user data plane) split scheme is proposed to overcome these two fundamental problems. Besides,a well-designed fi eld trial is conducted to evaluate its performance. The results show that the interference can be avoided,which leads to a tremendous increase in system capacity. In addition,the number of handovers is also greatly decreased. Thus,the trial results verify the huge potential of the C-plane and U-plane split scheme for system capacity and user experience enhancements.展开更多
