Endoscopic depth estimation is a critical technology for improving the safety and precision of minimally invasive surgery. It has attracted considerable attention from researchers in medical imaging, computer vision, and robotics. Over the…
Understanding the relationship between muscle activation and thickness deformation is critical for diagnosing muscle-related diseases and monitoring muscle health. Although ultrasound technique can measure muscle thickness change during…
Ultrasound perception typically requires multiple scan views through probe movement to reduce diagnostic ambiguity, mitigate acoustic occlusions, and improve anatomical coverage. However, not all probe views are equally informative.…
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring arterial diseases, mainly due to the advantages of being non-invasive, radiation-free, and real-time. In order to provide additional information to assist clinicians in…
Ultrasound robots are increasingly used in medical diagnostics and early disease screening. However, current ultrasound robots lack the intelligence to understand human intentions and instructions, hindering autonomous ultrasound scanning.…
Patient motion is well-known for degrading image quality during medical imaging. Especially positron emission tomography (PET) is susceptible to motion due to its usually long scan times. In hybrid PET/MRI (magnetic resonance imaging),…
We consider deep learning strategies in ultrasound systems, from the front-end to advanced applications. Our goal is to provide the reader with a broad understanding of the possible impact of deep learning methodologies on many aspects of…
Ultrasound is well-established as an imaging modality for diagnostic and interventional purposes. However, the image quality varies with operator skills as acquiring and interpreting ultrasound images requires extensive training due to the…
This study presents the progress of our recent research regarding wireless measurements of the human body. First, we explain radar imaging algorithms for screening passengers at security checkpoints that can process data faster than…
Motivation: Medical image analysis involves tasks to assist physicians in qualitative and quantitative analysis of lesions or anatomical structures, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of diagnosis and prognosis.…
Lung ultrasound imaging is reaching growing interest from the scientific community. On one side, thanks to its harmlessness and high descriptive power, this kind of diagnostic imaging has been largely adopted in sensitive applications, like…
Depth estimation is an important task, applied in various methods and applications of computer vision. While the traditional methods of estimating depth are based on depth cues and require specific equipment such as stereo cameras and…
Diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in healthcare, serving as a fundamental asset for timely diagnosis, disease staging and management as well as for treatment choice, planning, guidance, and follow-up. Among the diagnostic imaging…
Large vision-language models (VLMs) have evolved from general-purpose applications to specialized use cases such as in the clinical domain, demonstrating potential for decision support in radiology. One promising application is assisting…
We investigate the relationship between the extensor electromyogram (EMG) and tremor time series in physiological hand tremor by cross-spectral analysis. Special attention is directed to the phase spectrum and the effects of observational…
Advancements in wireless ultrasound technology allow for point of care cartilage imaging, yet validation against traditional ultrasound units remains to be established for knee cartilage outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to…
Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial transformations imposed on light by objects. Various…
Assessing the validity of user simulators when used for the evaluation of information retrieval systems remains an open question, constraining their effective use and the reliability of simulation-based results. To address this issue, we…
Estimating the limbs pose in a wearable way may benefit multiple areas such as rehabilitation, teleoperation, human-robot interaction, gaming, and many more. Several solutions are commercially available, but they are usually expensive or…
Exoskeletons and orthoses are wearable mobile systems providing mechanical benefits to the users. Despite significant improvements in the last decades, the technology is not fully mature to be adopted for strenuous and non-programmed tasks.…
