Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a…
A FLIP device gives cross-sectional area along the length of the esophagus and one pressure measurement, both as a function of time. Deducing mechanical properties of the esophagus including wall material properties, contraction strength,…
Goal: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory condition characterized by eosinophil accumulation in the esophageal mucosa. EoE diagnosis includes a manual assessment of eosinophil levels in mucosal biopsies - a…
Meshfree particle methods, such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method, are widely used to simulate complex free-surface and multiphase flows. A key challenge in these methods is the…
n clinical, if a patient presents with nonmechanical obstructive dysphagia, esophageal chest pain, and gastro esophageal reflux symptoms, the physician will usually assess the esophageal dynamic function. High-resolution manometry (HRM) is…
Medical vision language pre-training (VLP) has emerged as a frontier of research, enabling zero-shot pathological recognition by comparing the query image with the textual descriptions for each disease. Due to the complex semantics of…
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and ranks sixth in cancer-related mortality. Accurate computer-assisted diagnosis of cancer progression can help physicians effectively customize personalized treatment…
Self driving laboratories (SDLs) are highly automated research environments that leverage advanced technologies to conduct experiments and analyze data with minimal human involvement. These environments often involve delicate laboratory…
High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary procedure used to diagnose esophageal motility disorders. Its interpretation and classification includes an initial evaluation of swallow-level outcomes and then derivation of a study-level…
Esophageal transport is a physiological process that mechanically transports an ingested food bolus from the pharynx to the stomach via the esophagus, a multi-layered muscular tube. This process involves interactions between the bolus, the…
Lung disease is common throughout the world. These include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, fibrosis, etc. Timely diagnosis of lung disease is essential. Many image processing and machine learning…
In high energy density physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF), predictive modeling is complicated by uncertainty in parameters that characterize various aspects of the modeled system, such as those characterizing material…
Recent studies show that deep learning models achieve good performance on medical imaging tasks such as diagnosis prediction. Among the models, multimodality has been an emerging trend, integrating different forms of data such as chest…
The stomach plays a central role in digestion through coordinated muscle contractions, known as gastric peristalsis, driven by slow-wave electrophysiology. Understanding this process is critical for treating motility disorders such as…
Early detection of esophagitis is important because this condition can progress to cancer if left untreated. However, the accuracies of different deep learning models in detecting esophagitis have yet to be compared. Thus, this study aimed…
Metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) establishes new criteria for diagnosing fatty liver disease independent of alcohol consumption and concurrent viral hepatitis infection. However, the long-term outcome of MAFLD…
Deep learning (DL) models have achieved strong performance in an intelligence healthcare setting, yet most existing approaches operate as black boxes and ignore the physical processes that govern tumor growth, limiting interpretability,…
Accurate analysis of pathological images is essential for automated tumor diagnosis but remains challenging due to high structural similarity and subtle morphological variations in tissue images. Current vision-language (VL) models often…
