Purpose: The fusion of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and magnetic resonance (MR) images for guiding targeted prostate biopsy has significantly improved the biopsy yield of aggressive cancers. A key component of MR-TRUS fusion is image…
Vision-based grasping systems typically adopt an open-loop execution of a planned grasp. This policy can fail due to many reasons, including ubiquitous calibration error. Recovery from a failed grasp is further complicated by visual…
Opportunities for medical students to gain practical experience in vaginal births are increasingly constrained by shortened clinical rotations, patient reluctance, and the unpredictable nature of labour. To alleviate clinicians'…
Physical therapy (PT) is crucial in helping older adults manage chronic conditions and weakening muscles, but older adults face increasing challenges that can impact their PT experience, including increased fatigue, memory loss, and…
Home-based physical therapies are effective if the prescribed exercises are correctly executed and patients adhere to these routines. This is specially important for older adults who can easily forget the guidelines from therapists.…
Tree-based models are widely recognized for their interpretability and have proven effective in various application domains, particularly in high-stakes domains. However, learning decision trees (DTs) poses a significant challenge due to…
Vision-based segmentation of the robotic tool during robot-assisted surgery enables downstream applications, such as augmented reality feedback, while allowing for inaccuracies in robot kinematics. With the introduction of deep learning,…
This work presents a novel rehabilitation framework designed for a therapist, wearing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) suit, to virtually interact with a lower-limb exoskeleton worn by a patient with motor impairments. This framework aims…
Purpose: There is increasing interest in computed tomography (CT) image estimations from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The estimated CT images can be utilised for attenuation correction, patient positioning, and dose planning in…
Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a well established imaging tool for diagnosing and managing cardiac conditions. The integration of exercise stress with CMR (ExCMR) can enhance its diagnostic capacity. Despite…
AcoustoBots are mobile acoustophoretic robots capable of delivering mid-air haptics, directional audio, and acoustic levitation, but existing implementations rely on scripted commands and lack an intuitive interface for real-time human…
Over the last decade, there has been significant progress in the field of interactive virtual rehabilitation. Physical therapy (PT) stands as a highly effective approach for enhancing physical impairments. However, patient motivation and…
Image quality of PET reconstructions is degraded by subject motion occurring during the acquisition. MR-based motion correction approaches have been studied for PET/MR scanners and have been successful at capturing regular motion patterns,…
Multimodal instruction tuning has proven to be an effective strategy for achieving zero-shot generalization by fine-tuning pre-trained Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) with instruction-following data. However, as the scale of LMMs continues…
Intraoperative registration of real-time ultrasound (iUS) to preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) remains an unsolved problem due to severe modality-specific differences in appearance, resolution, and field-of-view. To address…
The task of MRI fingerprinting is to identify tissue parameters from complex-valued MRI signals. The prevalent approach is dictionary based, where a test MRI signal is compared to stored MRI signals with known tissue parameters and the most…
Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is a scalable, well-tolerated intervention that has promise for slowing cognitive decline. Outcomes from CCT are limited by a lack of effective engagement, which is decreased by factors such as mental…
Despite the immense technology advancement in the surgeries the criteria of assessing the surgical skills still remains based on subjective standards. With the advent of robotic-assisted surgery, new opportunities for objective and…
Radiotherapy (RT) is a critical cancer treatment, with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) being a commonly used technique that enhances dose conformity by dynamically adjusting multileaf collimator (MLC) positions and monitor units…
Due to the absence of clean reference signals and spatial cues, monaural unsupervised speech dereverberation is a challenging ill-posed inverse problem. To realize it, we propose augmented reverberant-target training (ARTT), which consists…
