The decrease of accuracy in patients' repeated positioning in radiotherapy due to body's transformation is considered and a positioning error measurement method using dynamic template matching technique is brought forward in this paper. This method is an improvement of the matching method to correct positioning error based on the CT digitally reconstructed radiograph(DRR), which uses the video reconstructed 3D surface model that can reflect the body's transformation as the matching template instead of DRR. This method can not only improve the positioning accuracy but also eliminate the adverse influence brought by body's transformation.

Purpose: To compare the precision of the arithmetic mean of surgically induced astigmatism (M-SIA) and the centroid of surgically induced astigmatism (C-SIA) in estimating SIA when predicting the power and axis of toric IOLs under different circumstances.
Methods: 120 eyes of 99 patients undergoing toric IOL replacement in a simple cataract surgery were included in the retrospective study. The predicted position of toric IOL was calculated by Z Calc online calculator and Barrett Toric Calculator with M-SIA (0.

In today's technologically advanced landscape, precision in navigation and positioning holds paramount importance across various applications, from robotics to autonomous vehicles. A common predicament in location-based systems is the reliance on Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, which may exhibit diminished accuracy and reliability under certain conditions. Moreover, when integrated with the Inertial Navigation System (INS), the GPS/INS system could not provide a long-term solution for outage problems due to its accumulated errors.

The Layered Composite Roof Structure (LCRS) is a common bearing structure consisting of multiple layers of rock above a coal seam, and the energy stored in this structure plays an important role in the occurrence of rockburst. Few studies have been conducted on the theoretical modeling of energy storage in LCRS. This study theoretically developed a bending energy storage model for LCRS under three conditions, and the theoretical model was verified by simulation and experimental data.

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) screening relies on accurate positioning in the ventrodorsal hip extended (VDHE) view, as even mild pelvic rotation can affect CHD scoring and impact breeding decisions. This study aimed to assess the association between pelvic rotation and asymmetry in obturator foramina areas (AOFAs) and to develop a computer vision model for automated AOFA measurement. In the first part, 203 radiographs were analyzed to examine the relationship between pelvic rotation, assessed through asymmetry in iliac wing and obturator foramina widths (AOFWs), and AOFAs.

The accurate measurement of spatiotemporal parameters, such as step length and step frequency, is crucial for analyzing running and sprinting performance. Traditional methods like video analysis and force platforms are either time consuming or limited in scope, prompting the need for more efficient technologies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a commercial Global Positioning System (GPS) unit integrated with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in capturing these parameters during sprints at varying velocities.
