The program ANSURR measures the accuracy of NMR structures by comparing rigidity obtained from experimental backbone chemical shifts and from structures. We report on ANSURR analysis of 7,000 PDB NMR ensembles within the Protein Data Bank, which can be found at ansurr.com. The accuracy of NMR structures progressively improved up until 2005, but since then, it has plateaued. Most structures have accurate secondary structure, but are generally too floppy, particularly in loops. Thus, there is a need for more experimental restraints in loops. Currently, the best predictors of accuracy are Ramachandran distribution and the number of NOE restraints per residue. The precision of structures within the ensemble correlates well with accuracy, as does the number of hydrogen bond restraints per residue. Structure accuracy is improved when other components (such as additional polypeptide chains or ligands) are included.

Symmetric deformable registration of multimodal brain magnetic resonance images via appearance residuals.

Department of Radiology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, USA. Electronic address:

Background And Objective: Deformable registration of multimodal brain magnetic resonance images presents significant challenges, primarily due to substantial structural variations between subjects and pronounced differences in appearance across imaging modalities.

Methods: Here, we propose to symmetrically register images from two modalities based on appearance residuals from one modality to another. Computed with simple subtraction between modalities, the appearance residuals enhance structural details and form a common representation for simplifying multimodal deformable registration.

Objective: To investigate the predictive ability of the MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score for pedicle screw loosening following instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

Methods: Data from patients who have received one or two-level instrumented TLIF from February 2014 to March 2015 were retrospectively collected. Pedicle screw loosening was diagnosed when the radiolucent zone around the screw exceeded 1 mm in plain radiographs.

Article Synopsis
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is linked to serious cardiovascular issues, and identifying its cause is important for treatment; this systematic review explores how AI can help in diagnosing LVH and its causes from imaging data.
  • A thorough search was conducted utilizing multiple databases, leading to the inclusion of 30 studies which mainly focused on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), with a smaller number on cardiac computed tomography (CT).
  • The review found that AI methods, especially deep learning and convolutional neural networks, showed good diagnostic performance, with the highest accuracy in identifying the causes of LVH rather than just detecting it; more real-life validation studies and cost-effectiveness assessments are recommended.

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is often accompanied by abnormal brain activities. This study aimed to develop an automaticclassifier to distinguish pED from healthy controls (HCs) by identified brain-basedcharacteristics. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from 45 pED patients and 43 HCs.

Article Synopsis
  • A study aimed to create a predictive model for the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treating adenomyosis by combining advanced imaging and clinical features.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 137 patients, categorizing them based on nonperfused volume ratio (NPVR) and divided the data into training and test sets to build and evaluate logistic regression models.
  • The combined model, which integrated both radiomics and clinical imaging data, showed superior performance in predicting HIFU outcomes compared to clinical imaging alone, confirming its potential to aid clinical decision-making.
