We propose a computer-aided method of lens manufacture that allows assembly, adjustment, and test phases to be run concurrently until an acceptable level of optical performance is reached. Misalignment of elements within a compound lens is determined by a comparison of the results of physical ray tracing by use of an array of Gaussian laser beams with numerically obtained geometric ray traces. An estimate of misalignment errors is made, and individual elements are adjusted in an iterative manner until performance criteria are achieved. The method is illustrated for the alignment of an air-spaced doublet.

In this study, multifunctional Fresnel lenses were explored as a potential solution for correcting vision in patients with color vision deficiency (CVD) and high myopia. Current studies have primarily focused on color vision correction through the 3D printing of glasses and contact lenses. However, the potential of 3D-printed multifunctional devices, such as Fresnel lenses, goes beyond addressing a single vision correction issue.

To visualize the X-ray fields, overlaps, and over-beaming on the skin surface during spiral head CT scanning. The measured pitch factors were determined by measuring 3 rotation times, 11 table-feed speeds, and an X-ray beam width. The X-ray fields, overlaps, and over-beaming on the skin surface were calculated via computer-aided design-based X-ray beam modeling, and the values obtained using the nominal pitch and measured pitch factors were compared.

Medical image segmentation is a crucial component of computer-aided clinical diagnosis, with state-of-the-art models often being variants of U-Net. Despite their success, these models' skip connections introduce an unnecessary semantic gap between the encoder and decoder, which hinders their ability to achieve the high precision required for clinical applications. Awareness of this semantic gap and its detrimental influences have increased over time.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of traditional vs. computer-aided lens fitting methods for orthokeratology in the Chinese population, involving 280 participants over a year-long period.
- Participants were randomly assigned to either group, with assessments of visual acuity and other ocular health metrics conducted at the start and after lens use, defining success by specific metrics of visual correction.
- Results showed that the computer-aided group had a higher success rate for visual correction compared to the traditional group, though both methods had similar outcomes regarding axial length changes and adverse events.
