This chapter presents the NMR technique APSY (automated projection spectroscopy) and its applications for sequence-specific resonance assignments of proteins. The result of an APSY experiment is a list of chemical shift correlations for an N-dimensional NMR spectrum (N≥3). This list is obtained in a fully automated way by the dedicated algorithm GAPRO (geometric analysis of projections) from a geometric analysis of experimentally recorded, low-dimensional projections. Because the positions of corresponding peaks in multiple projections are correlated, thermal noise and other uncorrelated artifacts are efficiently suppressed. We describe the theoretical background of the APSY method and discuss technical aspects that guide its optimal use. Further, applications of APSY-NMR spectroscopy for fully automated sequence-specific backbone and side chain assignments of proteins are described. We discuss the choice of suitable experiments for this purpose and show several examples. APSY is of particular interest for the assignment of soluble unfolded proteins, which is a time-consuming task by conventional means. With this class of proteins, APSY-NMR experiments with up to seven dimensions have been recorded. Sequence-specific assignments of protein side chains in turn are obtained from a 5D TOCSY-APSY-NMR experiment.

. To develop an augmentation method that simulates cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) related motion artifacts, which can be used to generate training-data to increase the performance of artificial intelligence models dedicated to auto-contouring tasks.The augmentation technique generates data that simulates artifacts typically present in CBCT imaging.

Despite this, DIR algorithms have limited clinical use, largely due to a lack of benchmark datasets for quality assurance during development. To support future algorithm development, here we introduce our first-of-its-kind abdominal CT DIR benchmark dataset, comprising large numbers of highly accurate landmark pairs on matching blood vessel bifurcations.

Current methods typically require multiple scans using a 3D scanner or circular structured light technique, which are inefficient and inconvenient to use. To address this issue, an off-axis measurement method and corresponding system has been proposed in this paper based on circular fringe projection.

Glaucoma poses a growing health challenge projected to escalate in the coming decades. However, current automated diagnostic approaches on Glaucoma diagnosis solely rely on black-box deep learning models, lacking explainability and trustworthiness. To address the issue, this study uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to develop an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) tool for diagnosing and staging glaucoma, with a focus on its clinical applicability.

Purpose: We present a semi-automated analysis of 21 years of R-type National Cancer Institute (NCI) grants to departments of radiation oncology and radiology using natural language processing (NLP).
Methods: We selected all non-education R-type NCI grants from 2000 to 2020 awarded to departments of radiation oncology/radiology with affiliated schools of medicine.
