Approximately 90% of cancers have their origins in epithelial tissues and this leads to epithelial thickening, but the ultrastructural changes and underlying architecture is less well known. Depth resolved label free visualization of…
Robotic ophthalmic surgery is an emerging technology to facilitate high-precision interventions such as retina penetration in subretinal injection and removal of floating tissues in retinal detachment depending on the input imaging…
Breast-conserving surgery is the most acceptable operation for breast cancer removal from an invasive and psychological point of view. Before the surgical procedure, a preoperative MRI is performed in the prone configuration, while the…
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer type in women around the world. In some countries, due to non-existent or inadequate screening, it is often detected at late stages, making standard treatment options often absent or…
Over the years, the Invariant Scattering Transform (IST) technique has become popular for medical image analysis, including using wavelet transform computation using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to capture patterns' scale and…
Skin cancer is a prevalent and potentially fatal disease that requires accurate and efficient diagnosis and treatment. Although manual tracing is the current standard in clinics, automated tools are desired to reduce human labor and improve…
Background Double Kissing Crush (DKC) is a preferred two-stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions. Proximal cell rewiring is routinely recommended to reduce technical failure, and DKC is considered effective across various…
The poor contrast and the overlapping of cervical cell cytoplasm are the major issues in the accurate segmentation of cervical cell cytoplasm. This paper presents an automated unsupervised cytoplasm segmentation approach which can…
Purpose: HDR brachytherapy is a widely adopted modality for cancer treatment. However, it is not free from error and uncertainty. In-vivo dosimetry (IVD) is the only technique that can confirm correct dose delivery. This study details and…
Esophageal cancer remains a highly aggressive malignancy with low survival rates, requiring advanced surgical interventions like esophagectomy. Traditional manual techniques, including circular staplers, face challenges such as limited…
We investigate a method of selectively targeting cancer cells by means of ultrasound harmonic excitation at their resonance frequency, which we refer to as oncotripsy. The geometric model of the cells takes into account the cytoplasm,…
Breast cancer is a health problem that affects mainly the female population. An early detection increases the chances of effective treatment, improving the prognosis of the disease. In this regard, computational tools have been proposed to…
Breast cancer (BC) remains a significant health threat, with no long-term cure currently available. Early detection is crucial, yet mammography interpretation is hindered by high false positives and negatives. With BC incidence projected to…
Breast Ultrasound plays a vital role in cancer diagnosis as a non-invasive approach with cost-effective. In recent years, with the development of deep learning, many CNN-based approaches have been widely researched in both tumor…
The future of ART in head and neck cancer is just beginning. Novel technologies have pushed the boundary of what is possible in terms of techniques to identify biomarkers for adaptation as well as innovative devices specialized to respond…
Purpose. Precise placement of needles is a challenge in a number of clinical applications such as brachytherapy or biopsy. Forces acting at the needle cause tissue deformation and needle deflection which in turn may lead to misplacement or…
Purpose: This study explores the feasibility of dose-escalated proton beam therapy (dPBT) for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) patients by modeling common patient scenarios using current clinically-adopted practices. Methods: Five…
This study presents the development and validation of an independent software tool based on the Varian Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) for multi-modal brachytherapy Quality Assurance (QA). The tool addresses GEC-ESTRO HDR protocols and LDR…
Soft robotic instruments could navigate delicate, tortuous anatomy more safely than rigid tools, but clinical adoption is limited by insufficient tip functionalization and real-time feedback at the tissue interface. Few sensing and…
Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) was developed based on Image-guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and it is the trend of photon radiation therapy. To get a better use of Cone Beam CT (CBCT) images for ART, the CBCT system model was established…
