In recent years, passively recorded probe traffic volumes have increasingly been used to estimate traffic volumes. However, it is not always possible to count probe traffic volume in a spatial dataset when probe trajectories cannot be fully…
Echocardiography is the most commonly used imaging technique in clinical cardiology. Due to the high demand for this type of examination and the small number of specialists, there is a need to support the examination process through…
Owing to recent advances in thoracic electrical impedance tomography, a patient's hemodynamic function can be noninvasively and continuously estimated in real-time by surveilling a cardiac volume signal associated with stroke volume and…
Blunt traumatic aortic rupture is a heart injury that can occur in falls, automobile accidents, and sporting injuries involving impact to the thorax. Despite its severity and high morbidity rate, the research still does not provide a…
We experimentally study the airflow in a collapsing cavity created by the impact of a circular disk on a water surface. We measure the air velocity in the collapsing neck in two ways: Directly, by means of employing particle image…
A stroke occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and bleeds or when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. Blood and oxygen cannot reach the brain's tissues due to the rupture or obstruction resulting in tissue death. The Middle…
Measuring airways in chest computed tomography (CT) images is important for characterizing diseases such as cystic fibrosis, yet very time-consuming to perform manually. Machine learning algorithms offer an alternative, but need large sets…
Results of an experiment are presented whose aim is to explore the relationship between respiration and cerebral oxygenation. Measurements of end tidal CO2 (EtCO2) were taken simultaneously with cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) using the…
Analysing the haemodynamics of flow in carotid artery disease serves as a means to better understand the development and progression of associated complex diseases. Carotid artery disease can predispose people to major adverse…
Thrombolytic occlusions in stroke, pulmonary embolism and the peripheral vasculature are increasingly treated with aspiration, a catheter-based approach that employs suction to extract clots through a hollow catheter lumen. Unfortunately,…
It was recently shown that complex cepstrum can be effectively used for glottal flow estimation by separating the causal and anticausal components of speech. In order to guarantee a correct estimation, some constraints on the window have…
To move away from open-heart surgery towards safer transcatheter procedures, there is a growing need for improved imaging techniques and robotic solutions to enable simple, accurate tool navigation. Common imaging modalities, such as…
This study assessed the safety, feasibility, and acceptability of a novel device to monitor ischaemic stroke patients. The device captured electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) data to compute an ECG-based metric termed…
CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging has gained importance in the diagnosis of acute stroke. Conventional perfusion analysis performs a deconvolution of the measurements and thresholds the perfusion parameters to determine the tissue status. We…
A method is proposed to analyze the heartbeat waveform that can yield a reliable characterization of the structure after only a few pulses. The measure suggested is entropy index that is related to the one found effective in describing…
Hemorrhagic Stroke (HS) has a rapid onset and is a serious condition that poses a great health threat. Promptly and accurately delineating the bleeding region and estimating the volume of bleeding in Computer Tomography (CT) images can…
There is a need to develop Monte Carlo simulations of stroke to run in-silico trials to replace animal models, explore clinical scenarios to develop hypotheses for clinical studies and for interpreting clinical monitoring. We perform…
We present a new method for measuring global longitudinal strain and global longitudinal strain rate from 2D echocardiograms using a logarithmic-transform correlation (LTC) method. In contrast to traditional echocardiography strain…
Cardiac time intervals (CTIs) are important parameters for assessing cardiac function and can be measured using non-invasive methods such as electrocardiography (ECG) and seismocardiography (SCG). It is widely accepted that SCG signals,…
Echocardiogram (echo) is the earliest and the primary tool for identifying regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) in order to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) or commonly known as heart attack. This paper proposes a novel approach,…
