Volumetric additive manufacturing techniques are a promising pathway to ultra-rapid light-based 3D fabrication. Their widespread adoption, however, demands significant improvement in print fidelity. Currently, volumetric additive manufacturing prints suffer from systematic undercuring of fine features, making it impossible to print objects containing a wide range of feature sizes, precluding effective adoption in many applications. Here, we uncover the reason for this limitation: light dose spread in the resin due to chemical diffusion and optical blurring, which becomes significant for features ⪅0.5 mm. We develop a model that quantitatively predicts the variation of print time with feature size and demonstrate a deconvolution method to correct for this error. This enables prints previously beyond the capabilities of volumetric additive manufacturing, such as a complex gyroid structure with variable thickness and a fine-toothed gear. These results position volumetric additive manufacturing as a mature 3D printing method, all but eliminating the gap to industry-standard print fidelity.

Prediction of hip fracture by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography in older Swedish women.

Sahlgrenska Osteoporosis Centre, Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institute of Medicine, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The socioeconomic burden of hip fractures, the most severe osteoporotic fracture outcome, is increasing and the current clinical risk assessment lacks sensitivity. This study aimed to develop a method for improved prediction of hip fracture by incorporating measurements of bone microstructure and composition derived from high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). In a prospective cohort study of 3028 community-dwelling women aged 75 to 80, all participants answered questionnaires and underwent baseline examinations of anthropometrics and bone by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and HR-pQCT.

Department of Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
Aim: This study leveraged standard-of-care CT scans of patients receiving unilateral radiotherapy (RT) for early tonsillar cancer to detect volumetric changes in the carotid arteries, and determine whether there is a dose-response relationship.
Methods: Disease-free cancer survivors (>3 months since therapy and age > 18 years) treated with intensity modulated RT for early (T1-2, N0-2b) tonsillar cancer with pre- and post-therapy contrast-enhanced CT scans available were included. Patients treated with definitive surgery, bilateral RT, or additional RT before the post-RT CT scan were excluded.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the precision of an open-source, clinician-trained, and user-friendly convolutional neural network-based model for automatically segmenting the mandible.
Methods: A total of 55 cone-beam computed tomography scans that met the inclusion criteria were collected and divided into test and training groups. The MONAI (Medical Open Network for Artificial Intelligence) Label active learning tool extension was used to train the automatic model.
Influence of Process Parameter and Build Rate Variations on Defect Formation in Laser Powder Bed Fusion SS316L.

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing process that has gained interest for its material fabrication due to multiple advantages, such as the ability to print parts with small feature sizes, good mechanical properties, reduced material waste, etc. However, variations in the key process parameters in LPBF may result in the instantiation of porosity defects and variation in build rate. Particularly, volumetric energy density (VED) is a variable that encapsulates a number of those parameters and represents the amount of energy input from the laser source to the feedstock.

: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and/or face mask (FM) treatments on the pharyngeal airway in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion caused by maxillary deficiency. This study utilized cone beam computed tomography (CIBT) for a three-dimensional (3D) analysis of airway changes, comparing the results with those of a control group consisting of untreated skeletal Class III patients. : The study included 60 participants (34 boys, 26 girls) aged 9 to 14 years, all diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary underdevelopment.
