Three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing, as a revolutionary technology for future advanced manufacturing, usually prints parts with poor control of complex gradients for functional applications. We present a single-vat grayscale digital light processing (g-DLP) 3D printing method using grayscale light patterns and a two-stage curing ink to obtain functionally graded materials with the mechanical gradient up to three orders of magnitude and high resolution. To demonstrate the g-DLP, we show the direct fabrication of complex 2D/3D lattices with controlled buckling and deformation sequence, negative Poisson's ratio metamaterial, presurgical models with stiffness variations, composites for 4D printing, and anti-counterfeiting 3D printing.

Aim: This study aimed to develop a reliable and efficient system for predicting and locating rib fractures in medical images using an ensemble of convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Methods: We employed five CNN architectures-Visual Geometry Group Network 16 (VGG16), Densely Connected Convolutional Network 169 (DenseNet169), Inception Version 4 (Inception V4), Efficient Network B7 (EfficientNet-B7), and Residual Network Next 50 layers (ResNeXt-50)-trained on a dataset of 840 grayscale computed tomography (CT) scan images in .jpg format collected from 42 patients at a local hospital.

Accurate diagnosis of pancreatic cancer using CT scan images is critical for early detection and treatment, potentially saving numerous lives globally. Manual identification of pancreatic tumors by radiologists is challenging and time-consuming due to the complex nature of CT scan images and variations in tumor shape, size, and location of the pancreatic tumor also make it challenging to detect and classify different types of tumors. Thus, to address this challenge we proposed a four-stage framework of computer-aided diagnosis systems.
