Article Abstract
Aims: To create and assess the performance of an artificial intelligence-based image analysis tool for the measurement and quantification of the corneal neovascularisation (CoNV) area.
Methods: Slit lamp images of patients with CoNV were exported from the electronic medical records and included in the study. An experienced ophthalmologist made manual annotations of the CoNV areas, which were then used to create, train and evaluate an automated image analysis tool that uses deep learning to segment and detect CoNV areas. A pretrained neural network (U-Net) was used and fine-tuned on the annotated images. Sixfold cross-validation was used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm on each subset of 20 images. The main metric for our evaluation was intersection over union (IoU).
Results: The slit lamp images of 120 eyes of 120 patients with CoNV were included in the analysis. Detections of the total corneal area achieved IoU between 90.0% and 95.5% in each fold and those of the non-vascularised area achieved IoU between 76.6% and 82.2%. The specificity for the detection was between 96.4% and 98.6% for the total corneal area and 96.6% and 98.0% for the non-vascularised area.
Conclusion: The proposed algorithm showed a high accuracy compared with the measurement made by an ophthalmologist. The study suggests that an automated tool using artificial intelligence may be used for the calculation of the CoNV area from the slit-lamp images of patients with CoNV.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop, test and validate automated interpretable deep learning algorithms for the assessment and classification of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) fusion stages from a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Study Design: The sample consisted of 723 CBCT scans of orthodontic patients from private practices in the midwestern United States. The SOS fusion stages were classified by two orthodontists and an oral and maxillofacial radiologist.
Improvement in Coronary Dose Distribution Using Dynamic Swing Arc in Volumetric-modulated Arc Therapy During Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy.

Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Background/aim: The dose to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is associated with mortality in patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who underwent radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to compare the dose distributions to the LAD region achieved through volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning using a dynamic swing arc in OXRAY (DSA-VMAT) and conventional coplanar (Conv-VMAT) planning.
Patients And Methods: Ten patients with EC who had undergone radiotherapy (60 Gy in 30 fractions) at our Institution were selected for inclusion in the study.
Transmission interference microscopy of anterior human eye.

Cellular imaging of the human anterior eye is critical for understanding complex ophthalmic diseases, yet current techniques are constrained by a limited field of view or insufficient contrast. Here, we demonstrate that Ernst Abbe's foundational principles on the interference nature of transmission microscopy can be applied in vivo to the human eye to overcome these limitations. The transmission geometry in the eye is achieved by projecting illumination onto the posterior eye (sclera) and using the back-reflected light as a secondary illumination source for anterior eye structures.

Objectives: Development and verification of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning (DL) model for mandibular canal (MC) localization on multicenter cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Methods: In this study, a total 1056 CBCT scans in multiple centers were collected. Of these, 836 CBCT scans of one manufacturer were used for development of CNN model (training set: validation set: internal testing set = 640:360:36) and an external testing dataset of 220 CBCT scans from other four manufacturers were tested.
