Thrombotic vascular diseases contribute to significant global mortality, yet current therapeutic strategies face persistent challenges including bleeding risks, suboptimal efficiency, and procedural complexity. Here, we report a…
A stroke is defined as a neurologic deficit arising from an interruption in blood supply to the brain. According to the World Health Organization, over 15 million people suffer from strokes annually, of which almost 70% die or are…
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are extensively employed as photosensors in neutrino and dark matter detection. The precise charge and timing information extracted from the PMT waveform plays a crucial role in energy and vertex reconstruction.…
The success of embolisation, a minimally invasive treatment of liver cancer, could be evaluated in the operational room with cone-beam CT by acquiring a dynamic perfusion scan. The reconstruction algorithm must address the issues of low…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) combine interesting optical and spintronic properties in an atomically-thin material, where the light polarization can be used to control the spin and valley degrees-of-freedom for the development of…
Cardiovascular surgeries and mechanical circulatory support devices create non-physiological blood flow conditions that can be detrimental, especially for pediatric patients. A source of complications is mechanical red blood cell (RBC)…
Clot formation is a common complication in extracorporeal circuits. In this paper we describe a novel method for clot formation analysis using image processing. We assembled a closed extracorporeal circuit and circulated blood at varying…
Medical image segmentation continues to advance rapidly, yet rigorous comparison between methods remains challenging due to a lack of standardized and customizable tooling. In this work, we present the current state of the Medical Imaging…
Pringle maneuver (PM) in laparoscopic liver resection aims to reduce blood loss and provide a clear surgical view by intermittently blocking blood inflow of the liver, whereas prolonged PM may cause ischemic injury. To comprehensively…
Convolution and deconvolution are essential techniques in various fields, notably in medical imaging, where they play a crucial role in analyzing dynamic processes such as blood flow. This paper explores the convolution and deconvolution of…
In an emergency room (ER) setting, stroke triage or screening is a common challenge. A quick CT is usually done instead of MRI due to MRI's slow throughput and high cost. Clinical tests are commonly referred to during the process, but the…
The midline related pathological image features are crucial for evaluating the severity of brain compression caused by stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The automated midline delineation not only improves the assessment and clinical…
Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is a critical clinical procedure for establishing and maintaining patient airway patency. Machine-assisted NTI has emerged as a pivotal approach for optimizing procedural efficiency and minimizing manual…
While we are making progress in overcoming infectious diseases and cancer; one of the major medical challenges of the mid-21st century will be the rising prevalence of stroke. Large vessels occlusions are especially debilitating, yet…
We quantify the resources required for entangling two uncoupled spin qubits through an intermediate mesoscopic spin system (MSS) by indirect joint measurement. Indirect joint measurement benefits from coherent magnification of the target…
Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have drastically reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many regions inside the body, such as in the brain vasculature, still remain…
Deep learning-based motion deblurring techniques have advanced significantly in recent years. This class of techniques, however, does not carefully examine the inherent flaws in blurry images. For instance, low edge and structural…
In many intracellular processes, the length distribution of microtubules is controlled by depolymerizing motor proteins. Experiments have shown that, following non-specific binding to the surface of a microtubule, depolymerizers are…
Intrasaccular flow disruptors treat cerebral aneurysms by diverting the blood flow from the aneurysm sac. Residual flow into the sac after the intervention is a failure that could be due to the use of an undersized device, or to vascular…
In the recent years image processing techniques are used as a tool to improve detection and diagnostic capabilities in the medical applications. Medical applications have been so much affected by these techniques which some of them are…
