Manual rendezvous and docking (manual RVD) is a challenging space task for astronauts. Previous research showed a correlation between spatial ability and manual RVD skills among participants at early stages of training, but paid less attention to experts. Therefore, this study tried to explore the role of spatial ability in manual RVD skills in two groups of trainees, one relatively inexperienced and the other experienced operators. Additionally, mental rotation has been proven essential in RVD and was tested in this study among 27 male participants, 15 novices, and 12 experts. The participants performed manual RVD tasks in a high fidelity simulator. Results showed that experience moderated the relation between mental rotation ability and manual RVD performance. On one hand, novices with high mental rotation ability tended to perform that RVD task more successfully; on the other hand, experts with high mental rotation ability showed not only no performance advantage in the final stage of the RVD task, but had certain disadvantages in their earlier processes. Both theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Article Synopsis
- A new auto-segmentation method, PKMI-Net, is developed to improve the precision and efficiency of glioblastoma (GBM) radiation therapy by using deep learning on multimodal imaging data.
- This method was tested on 148 patients with high-grade gliomas, showing high accuracy in segmenting tumor volumes with impressive metrics like Dice similarity coefficients of up to 0.95.
- PKMI-Net proved to be generally applicable across multiple datasets, suggesting it could enhance treatment planning and outcomes for patients undergoing radiotherapy for GBMs.

Liver segmentation is a fundamental prerequisite for the diagnosis and surgical planning of hepatocellular carcinoma. Traditionally, the liver contour is drawn manually by radiologists using a slice-by-slice method. However, this process is time-consuming and error-prone, depending on the radiologist's experience.

Aims: The study aimed, firstly, to validate automatically and visually scored coronary artery calcium (CAC) on low-dose computed tomography (CT) (LDCT) scans with a dedicated calcium scoring CT (CSCT) scan and, secondly, to assess the added value of CAC scored from LDCT scans acquired during [15O]-water-positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) on prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Methods And Results: Five hundred seventy-two consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease, who underwent [15O]-water-PET MPI with LDCT and a dedicated CSCT scan were included. In the reference CSCT scans, manual CAC scoring was performed, while LDCT scans were scored visually and automatically using deep learning approach.

Purpose: When autocontouring based on artificial intelligence () is used in the radiotherapy () workflow, the contours are reviewed and eventually adjusted by a radiation oncologist before an RT treatment plan is generated, with the purpose of improving dosimetry and reducing both interobserver variability and time for contouring. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of application of a commercial AI-based autocontouring for , assessing both geometric accuracies and the influence on optimized dose from automatically generated contours after review by human operator.
Materials And Methods: A commercial autocontouring system was applied to a retrospective database of 40 patients, of which 20 were treated with radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PCa) and 20 for head and neck cancer ().

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most common neoplastic disorder at the global level. Contouring HNC lesions on [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scans plays a fundamental role for diagnosis, risk assessment, radiotherapy planning and post-treatment evaluation. However, manual contouring is a lengthy and tedious procedure which requires significant effort from the clinician.
