PET/CT-guided biopsy with respiratory motion correctionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 2187-2198 - 2019

Given the ability of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to localize malignancies in heterogeneous tumors and tumors that lack an X-ray computed tomography (CT) correlate, combined PET/CT-guided biopsy may improve the diagnostic yield of biopsies. However, PET and CT images are naturally susceptible to problems due to respiratory motion, leading to imprecise tumor localization and shape dis...... hiện toàn bộ
Patient-specific prediction of SEEG electrode bending for stereotactic neurosurgical planningSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 789-798 - 2021
Alejandro Granados, Yuxuan Han, Oeslle Lucena, Vejay Vakharia, Roman Rodionov, Sjoerd B. Vos, Anna Miserocchi, Andrew W. McEvoy, John S. Duncan, Rachel Sparks, Sébastien Ourselin
Electrode bending observed after stereotactic interventions is typically not accounted for in either computer-assisted planning algorithms, where straight trajectories are assumed, or in quality assessment, where only metrics related to entry and target points are reported. Our aim is to provide a fully automated and validated pipeline for the prediction of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) ele...... hiện toàn bộ
Detection and grading of prostate cancer using temporal enhanced ultrasound: combining deep neural networks and tissue mimicking simulationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1293-1305 - 2017

Temporal Enhanced Ultrasound (TeUS) has been proposed as a new paradigm for tissue characterization based on a sequence of ultrasound radio frequency (RF) data. We previously used TeUS to successfully address the problem of prostate cancer detection in the fusion biopsies. In this paper, we use TeUS to address the problem of grading prostate cancer in a clinical study of 197 biopsy cores from 132 ...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of a vibration haptic simulator for shoulder arthroplastySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1049-1062 - 2018
Jonathan R. Kusins, Jason A. Strelzow, Marie-Eve LeBel, Louis M. Ferreira
Glenoid reaming is a technically challenging step during shoulder arthroplasty that could possibly be learned during simulation training. Creation of a realistic simulation using vibration feedback in this context is innovative. Our study focused on the development and internal validation of a novel glenoid reaming simulator for potential use as a training tool. Vibration and force profiles associ...... hiện toàn bộ
Design of a noise-dependent shrinkage function in wavelet shrinkage of X-ray CT imageSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 353-366 - 2009
Naruomi Yasuda, Yoshie Kodera
Many shrinkage functions have been introduced and applied for the wavelet shrinkage denoising of computed tomography (CT) images. However, these functions have problems in continuity of functions and cause “shrinkage artifacts”. Therefore, we designed a new and smooth shrinkage function using noise distribution. The proposed shrinkage function was designed under the following four conditions: (1) ...... hiện toàn bộ
Web-based bone age assessment by content-based image retrieval for case-based reasoningSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 389-399 - 2011
Benedikt Fischer, Petra Welter, Rolf W. Günther, Thomas M. Deserno
Maturity estimation by radiological bone age assessment (BAA) is a frequent task for pediatric radiologists. Following Greulich and Pyle, all hand bones are compared with a standard atlas, or a subset of bones is examined according to Tanner and Whitehouse. We support BAA comparing the epiphyses of a current case to similar cases with validated bone age by content-based image retrieval (CBIR). A w...... hiện toàn bộ
Novel microscope-based visual display and nasopharyngeal registration for auditory brainstem implantation: a feasibility study in an ex vivo modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2021
Milovan Regodić, Christian F. Freyschlag, Johannes Kerschbaumer, Malik Galijašević, Romed Hörmann, Wolfgang Freysinger
An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) represents an alternative for patients with profound hearing loss who are constrained from receiving a cochlear implant. The positioning of the ABI electrode influences the patient’s auditory capacity and, therefore, quality of life and is challenging even with available intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring. This work aims to provide and assess the fea...... hiện toàn bộ
Design, characterization and optimization of a soft fluidic actuator for minimally invasive surgerySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2019
Gilles Decroly, Benjamin Mertens, Pierre Lambert, Alain Delchambre
In minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy, the rise of soft robotics, using materials of similar softness as biological soft tissues, opens many new opportunities. Soft actuated catheters could become an alternative to current steerable catheters, by minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues while enhancing the possibilities to navigate in confined space and to reach remote locations....... hiện toàn bộ
