Objectives: To obtain a better estimate of the mortality of individuals suffering from blunt force trauma, including co-morbidity. Methodology: The Injury severity Score (ISS) is the default world standard for assessing the severity of…
In this paper it is shown that statistical mechanics in the form of thermodynamic entropy can be used as a measure of the severity of individual injuries (AIS), and that the correct way to account for multiple injuries is to sum the…
In the real world, the severity of traumatic injuries are measured using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). However the AIS scale cannot currently be computed by using finite element human computer models, which calculate a maximum…
In biomedical applications, the similarity between a signal measured from an injured subject and a reference signal measured from a normal subject can be used to quantify the injury severity. This paper proposes a generalization of the…
Stuttering is a complex speech disorder that can be identified by repetitions, prolongations of sounds, syllables or words, and blocks while speaking. Severity assessment is usually done by a speech therapist. While attempts at automated…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a central modality for stroke imaging. It is used upon patient admission to make treatment decisions such as selecting patients for intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy. MRI is later used in…
Traumatic injuries are measured using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), which is a risk to life scale. New human computer models use stresses and strains to evaluate whether serious or fatal injuries are reached, unfortunately these…
The Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) score has been widely used in clinical trials to quantify radiographic damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), but its complexity has limited its adoption in routine clinical practice. To address the…
In observational studies, the recorded treatment assignment is not purely random, but it is influenced by external factors such as patient characteristics, reimbursement policies, and existing guidelines. Therefore, the treatment effect can…
Dysarthria is a neurological speech disorder that can significantly impact affected individuals' communication abilities and overall quality of life. The accurate and objective classification of dysarthria and the determination of its…
Efficient and effective assessment of acute and chronic wounds can help wound care teams in clinical practice to greatly improve wound diagnosis, optimize treatment plans, ease the workload and achieve health related quality of life to the…
Shock response spectrum (SRS) is a widely accepted method for shock testing specification. However, SRS, as a supremum, is over-conservative and cannot fully describe the relative severity for various shock environments. This study…
Acute stroke lesion segmentation tasks are of great clinical interest as they can help doctors make better informed treatment decisions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is time demanding but can provide images that are considered gold…
Ischemic stroke is a common disease in the elderly population, which can cause long-term disability and even death. However, the time window for treatment of ischemic stroke in its acute stage is very short. To fast localize and…
Vehicles equipped with automated driving capabilities have shown potential to improve safety and operations. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS) have been widely developed to support vehicular…
The volume of stroke lesion is the gold standard for predicting the clinical outcome of stroke patients. However, the presence of stroke lesion may cause neural disruptions to other brain regions, and these potentially damaged regions may…
Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Immediate attention and diagnosis play a crucial role regarding patient prognosis. The key to diagnosis consists in localizing and delineating brain lesions. Standard stroke…
We develop a new modeling framework for Inter-Subject Analysis (ISA). The goal of ISA is to explore the dependency structure between different subjects with the intra-subject dependency as nuisance. It has important applications in…
Perceptual similarity scores that align with human vision are critical for both training and evaluating computer vision models. Deep perceptual losses, such as LPIPS, achieve good alignment but rely on complex, highly non-linear…
Achilles Tendon Rupture (ATR) is one of the typical soft tissue injuries. Rehabilitation after such a musculoskeletal injury remains a prolonged process with a very variable outcome. Accurately predicting rehabilitation outcome is crucial…
