Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that has earned significant attention for its potential in real-time monitoring of various physiological parameters. Despite its promise, the sensitivity and…
23Na MRI can be used to quantify in-vivo tissue sodium concentration (TSC), but the low 23Na signal leads to long scan times and/or noisy or low-resolution images. Reconstruction algorithms such as CS have been proposed to mitigate low SNR;…
Significance: The depolarization of circularly polarized light caused by scattering in turbid media reveals structural information about the dispersed particles, such as their size, density, and distribution, which is useful for…
The role of brain hemodynamics in neurodegenerative diseases cannot be fully assessed using existing imaging technologies. Recently, 2D Dynamic Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (DULM) has allowed for the quantitative mapping of the…
Radiomics analysis has emerged as a promising approach for extracting quantitative features from medical images to aid in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, radiomics research currently lacks standardization, and radiomics features…
Information about tissue oxygen saturation ($StO_2$) and other related important physiological parameters can be extracted from diffuse reflectance spectra measured through non-contact imaging. Three analytical optical reflectance models…
Multimode fibres are becoming increasingly attractive in optical endoscopy as they promise to enable unparalleled miniaturisation, spatial resolution and cost as compared to conventional fibre bundle-based counterpart. However, achieving…
Intraoperative optical imaging is a localization technique for the functional areas of the human brain cortex during neurosurgical procedures. These areas can be assessed by monitoring cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism. A robust…
Background: Automatic treatment planning promises many benefits for both research and clinical environments. For clinics, autoplanning promises to reduce planning time and achieve more comparable treatment plans and thereby reduce…
Diabetic foot patients face persistent, challenging wounds, prompting a quest for innovative therapies. Hydrogel, a promising modality, is increasingly recognized for its potential in diabetic wound care. This review examines hydrogel's…
Purpose: We aims to examine the impact of different head tilt angles on the dose distribution in the whole-brain target area and organs at risk. It also aims to determine the head tilt angle to achieve optimal radiation therapy outcomes.…
This study employs micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to unravel the geometrical intricacies of the rat urinary bladder wall during various states of ex-vivo filling, contrasting markedly with the commonly held idealizations of uniform…
Despite advancements in medical care, hip fractures impose a significant burden on individuals and healthcare systems. This paper focuses on the prediction of hip fracture risk in older and middle-aged adults, where falls and compromised…
Image-guided mouse irradiation is essential to understand interventions involving radiation prior to human studies. Our objective is to employ Swin UNEt Transformers (Swin UNETR) to segment native micro-CT and contrast-enhanced micro-CT…
Purpose: To introduce a widely applicable workflow for pulmonary lobe segmentation of MR images using a recurrent neural network (RNN) trained with chest computed tomography (CT) datasets. The feasibility is demonstrated for 2D coronal…
To address existing challenges with intravascular mechanical thrombectomy devices, a novel ultrasound-enhanced aspiration approach is being developed to mechanically degrade clots using cavitation. This method employs standing waves within…
This paper describe a mechanical ventilator prototype with preclinical test performed on 10 bioporcine models, where results have shown the capabilities to maintain physiological parameter for each subject under test and present also the…
This study aims to develop a new computational pathology approach that automates the identification and quantification of myocardial inflammatory infiltration in digital HE-stained images to provide a quantitative histological diagnosis of…
Since the inception of magnetization transfer (MT) imaging, it has been widely assumed that Henkelman's two spin pools have similar longitudinal relaxation times, which motivated many researchers to constrain them to each other. However,…
Thrombotic and chronic occlusions of large blood vessels are a major cause of mortality and morbidity, and so there is a need for improved treatments in many clinical circumstances. Endovascular ultrasound approaches have been shown to hold…
