Cochlear implants (CIs) are neural prosthetics which are used to treat patients with hearing loss. CIs use an array of electrodes which are surgically inserted into the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve endings. After surgery, CIs…
The goals of this dissertation are to fully automate the image processing techniques needed in the post-operative stage of IGCIP and to perform a thorough analysis of (a) the robustness of the automatic image processing techniques used in…
Cochlear implants (CIs) are implantable medical devices that can restore the hearing sense of people suffering from profound hearing loss. The CI uses a set of electrode contacts placed inside the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve…
Cochlear Implant (CI) surgery treats severe hearing loss by inserting an electrode array into the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve. An important step in this procedure is mastoidectomy, which removes part of the mastoid region of the…
For those experiencing severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, the cochlear implant (CI) is the preferred treatment. Augmented reality (AR) aided surgery can potentially improve CI procedures and hearing outcomes. Typically, AR…
Clinical imaging is routinely used for cochlear implant surgical planning yet lacks the resolution and contrast necessary to visualize the fine intracochlear structures critical for individualized intervention. To address this limitation,…
Cochlear implants (CIs) play a vital role in restoring hearing for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss by directly stimulating the auditory nerve with electrical signals. While traditional coding strategies, such…
Intrinsic image decomposition is a challenging, long-standing computer vision problem for which ground truth data is very difficult to acquire. We explore the use of synthetic data for training CNN-based intrinsic image decomposition…
Speech perception is key to verbal communication. For people with hearing loss, the capability to recognize speech is restricted, particularly in a noisy environment or the situations without visual cues, such as lip-reading unavailable via…
We propose an atlas-based method to segment the intracochlear anatomy (ICA) in the post-implantation CT (Post-CT) images of cochlear implant (CI) recipients that preserves the point-to-point correspondence between the meshes in the atlas…
The cochlear implant (CI) is a successful biomedical device that enables individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss to perceive sound through electrical stimulation, yet listening in noise remains challenging. Recent deep learning…
Cochlear implants (CIs) provide a solution for individuals with severe sensorineural hearing loss to regain their hearing abilities. When someone experiences this form of hearing impairment in both ears, they may be equipped with two…
While micro-CT systems are instrumental in preclinical research, clinical micro-CT imaging has long been desired with cochlear implantation as a primary example. The structural details of the cochlear implant and the temporal bone require a…
Robotic cochlear-implant (CI) insertion requires precise prediction and regulation of contact forces to minimize intracochlear trauma and prevent failure modes such as locking and buckling. Aligned with the integration of advanced medical…
AI-assisted surgeries have drawn the attention of the medical image research community due to their real-world impact on improving surgery success rates. For image-guided surgeries, such as Cochlear Implants (CIs), accurate object…
Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that uses underlying speech information to determine the identity of the speaker. Speaker Identification (SID) under noisy conditions is one of the challenging topics in the field of speech…
Speech separation approaches for single-channel, dry speech mixtures have significantly improved. However, real-world spatial and reverberant acoustic environments remain challenging, limiting the effectiveness of these approaches for…
Determination of treatment need of posterior capsular opacification (PCO)-- one of the most common complication of cataract surgery -- is a difficult process due to its local unavailability and the fact that treatment is provided only after…
We propose a brain-informed speech separation method for cochlear implants (CIs) that uses electroencephalography (EEG)-derived attention cues to guide enhancement toward the attended speaker. An attention-guided network fuses audio…
Cochlear implants (CIs) have been developed to the point where they can restore hearing and speech understanding in a large proportion of patients. Although spatial hearing is central to controlling and directing attention and to enabling…
