Cochlear implants (CIs) are surgically implanted hearing devices, which allow to restore a sense of hearing in people suffering from profound hearing loss. Wireless streaming of audio from external devices to CI signal processors has become…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) will be the first light adaptive optics instrument on the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS is being built by a collaboration between Caltech, the University of California, NAOJ and NRC Herzberg. We…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in the lung cancer screening population. Chest CT scans made in lung cancer screening are suitable for identification of participants at risk of CVD. Existing methods analyzing CT…
We describe a visual computing approach to radiation therapy (RT) planning, based on spatial similarity within a patient cohort. In radiotherapy for head and neck cancer treatment, dosage to organs at risk surrounding a tumor is a large…
This paper presents a novel method to automatically identify late-activating regions of the left ventricle from cine Displacement Encoding with Stimulated Echo (DENSE) MR images. We develop a deep learning framework that identifies late…
Coronary angiography is considered to be a safe tool for the evaluation of coronary artery disease and perform in approximately 12 million patients each year worldwide. [1] In most cases, angiograms are manually analyzed by a cardiologist.…
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has established its role as a non-invasive modality for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The CAD-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) has been developed to standardize communication and aid in…
We explore novel methods of recovering the original spectral line profiles from data obtained by instruments that sample those profiles with an extended or multipeaked spectral transmission profile. The techniques are tested on data…
Quantitative speed-of-sound (SoS) and attenuation of tissues are closely related to pathology; however, conventional B-mode images are limited to qualitative visualization. Existing ultrasound full-waveform inversion (FWI) methods for…
Implantable, closed-loop devices for automated early detection and stimulation of epileptic seizures are promising treatment options for patients with severe epilepsy that cannot be treated with traditional means. Most approaches for early…
The accurate and timely diagnosis of acute aortic syndromes (AAS) in patients presenting with acute chest pain remains a clinical challenge. Aortic CT angiography (CTA) is the imaging protocol of choice in patients with suspected AAS.…
Myocardial Infarction (MI) has the highest mortality of all cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Detection of MI and information regarding its occurrence-time in particular, would enable timely interventions that may improve patient outcomes,…
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common heart valve disease that requires accurate and timely diagnosis for appropriate treatment. Most current automatic AS severity detection methods rely on black-box models with a low level of trustworthiness,…
Automated detection of sclerotic metastases (bone lesions) in Computed Tomography (CT) images has potential to be an important tool in clinical practice and research. State-of-the-art methods show performance of 79% sensitivity or…
Purpose: Long scan time in phase encoding for forming complete K-space matrices is a critical drawback of MRI, making patients uncomfortable and wasting important time for diagnosing emergent diseases. This paper aims to reducing the scan…
Recent ultrasound imaging modalities based on ultrasound computed tomography indicate a huge potential to detect pathologies is tissue due to altered biomechanical properties. Especially the imaging of speed-of-sound (SoS) distribution in…
The beyond-diagonal reconfigurable intelligent surface (BD-RIS) is a recent architecture in which scattering elements are interconnected to enhance the degrees of freedom for wave control, yielding performance gains over traditional…
Thyroid cancer is among the most common cancers in the United States. Thyroid nodules are frequently detected through ultrasound (US) imaging, and some require further evaluation via fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. Despite its…
Responding rapidly to a patient who is demonstrating signs of imminent clinical deterioration is a basic tenet of patient care. This gave rise to a patient safety intervention philosophy known as a Rapid Response System (RRS), whereby a…
Objective: The accurate segmentation of capnograms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for effective patient monitoring and advanced airway management. This study aims to develop a robust algorithm using a U-net…
