The automated Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) classification technique is essential for assisting clinicians during the diagnosis process. Detecting and classifying ILDs patterns is a challenging problem. This paper introduces an…
Slow waves (SWs) are spatio-temporal patterns of cortical activity that occur both during natural sleep and anesthesia and are preserved across species. Even though electrophysiological recordings have been largely used to characterize…
This paper shows experimentally that standard wireless networks which measure received signal strength (RSS) can be used to reliably detect human breathing and estimate the breathing rate, an application we call "BreathTaking". We show that…
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease which may appear in early life with structural abnormalities in lung tissues. We propose to detect these abnormalities using a texture classification approach. Our method is a cascade of two…
Objective: Computed Tomography (CT) has an important role to detect lung lesion related to Covide 19. The purpose of this work is to obtain diagnostic findings of Ultra-Low Dose (ULD) chest CT image and compare with routine dose chest CT.…
Endoscopy provides a major contribution to the diagnosis of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) diseases. With Colon Endoscopy having its certain limitations, Wireless Capsule Endoscopy is gradually taking over it in the terms of ease and…
Ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive yet effective medical diagnostic imaging technique for the COVID-19 global pandemic. However, due to complex feature behaviors and expensive annotations of US images, it is difficult to apply Artificial…
In post-covid19 world, radio frequency (RF)-based non-contact methods, e.g., software-defined radios (SDR)-based methods have emerged as promising candidates for intelligent remote sensing of human vitals, and could help in containment of…
Multiple-breath-washout (MBW) measurements are regarded as a sensitive technique which can reflect the ventilation inhomogeneity of respiratory airways. Typically nitrogen is used as the tracer gas and is washed out by pure oxygen in…
Stretchable electronics capable of conforming to nonplanar and dynamic human body surfaces are central for creating implantable and on-skin devices for high-fidelity monitoring of diverse physiological signals. While various strategies have…
The motivation of this work is the use of non-invasive and low cost techniques to obtain a faster and more accurate diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatic, autoimmune, chronic and rare disease. The technique in question is Near…
Estimating the elasticity of soft tissue can provide useful information for various diagnostic applications. Ultrasound shear wave elastography offers a non-invasive approach. However, its generalizability and standardization across…
Elastography provides significant information on staging of fibrosis in patients with liver disease and may be of some value in assessing steatosis. However, there remain questions as to the role of steatosis and fibrosis as cofactors…
Straight cylindrical stethoscopes serve as an important alternative to conventional stethoscopes whose application in the treatment of infectious diseases might be limited by the use of protective clothing. Yet their miniaturization is…
Different clinical elastography devices show different liver-stiffness values in the same subject, hindering comparison of values and establishment of system-independent thresholds for disease detection. Therefore, authorities request…
Large vessel occlusion (LVO) plays an important role in the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. Identifying LVO of patients in the early stage on admission would significantly lower the probabilities of suffering from severe effects due to…
Despite recent developments in CT planning that enabled automation in patient positioning, time-consuming scout scans are still needed to compute dose profile and ensure the patient is properly positioned. In this paper, we present a novel…
Ultra-high intensity femtosecond lasers at focus are now routinely used for relativistic motion of charged particles with peak intensities over 10^18W/cm^2. Such high-field experiments are very sensitive to the value of the peak intensity.…
This paper proposes a semi-automatic system based on quantitative characterization of the specific image patterns in lung ultrasound (LUS) images, in order to assess the lung conditions of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, as well as to…
Stunting detection is a significant issue in Indonesian healthcare, causing lower cognitive function, lower productivity, a weakened immunity, delayed neuro-development, and degenerative diseases. In regions with a high prevalence of…
