Cervical spine fractures constitute a critical medical emergency, with the potential for lifelong paralysis or even fatality if left untreated or undetected. Over time, these fractures can deteriorate without intervention. To address the…

The purpose of this work is to develop a deep learning-based method for knee menisci segmentation in 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) cones magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and to automatically determine MR relaxation times, namely the T1,…

Quantitative assessment of a treatment progress in the Achilles tendon healing process - one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder in modern medical practice - is typically a long and complex process: multiple MRI protocols need to be…

Convolutional Neural Networks play a key role in bone age assessment for investigating endocrinology, genetic, and growth disorders under various modalities and body regions. However, no researcher has tackled bone age…

Osteoporosis silently erodes skeletal integrity worldwide; however, early detection through imaging can prevent most fragility fractures. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods now mine routine Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), X-ray,…

Bone segmentation from CT images is a task that has been worked on for decades. It is an important ingredient to several diagnostics or treatment planning approaches and relevant to various diseases. As high-quality manual and…

Accurate and real-time surgical instrument segmentation is important in the endoscopic vision of robot-assisted surgery, and significant challenges are posed by frequent instrument-tissue contacts and continuous change of observation…

Incorporating boundaries of the imaging object as a priori information to imaging algorithms can significantly improve the performance of electromagnetic medical imaging systems. To avoid overly complicating the system by using different…

Background: Although there are many studies on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) models to medical imaging, there is no report of an AI model that determines the accumulation of ribs in bone metastases and trauma only using…

Purpose: Proximal femur image analyses based on quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provide a method to quantify the bone density and evaluate osteoporosis and risk of fracture. We aim to develop a deep-learning-based method for…

Degenerative spinal pathologies are highly prevalent among the elderly population. Timely diagnosis of osteoporotic fractures and other degenerative deformities facilitates proactive measures to mitigate the risk of severe back pain and…

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures have a severe impact on patients' overall well-being but are severely under-diagnosed. These fractures present themselves at various levels of severity measured using the Genant's grading scale. Insufficient…

Suppressing bones on chest X-rays such as ribs and clavicle is often expected to improve pathologies classification. These bones can interfere with a broad range of diagnostic tasks on pulmonary disease except for musculoskeletal system.…

Detection of surgical instruments plays a key role in ensuring patient safety in minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, we present a novel method for 2D vision-based recognition and pose estimation of surgical instruments that…

Surgical guidance can be delivered in various ways. In neurosurgery, spatial guidance and orientation are predominantly achieved through neuronavigation systems that reference pre-operative MRI scans. Recently, there has been growing…

X-ray computed tomography is a powerful tool for volumetric imaging, where three-dimensional (3D) images are generated from a large number of individual X-ray projection images. Collecting the required number of low noise projection images…

Tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoids typically have complex structures similar to those of human beings, such as ball joints and the scapula, in which encoders cannot be installed. Therefore, joint angles cannot be directly obtained and…

There is a growing interest to get a fully MR based radiotherapy. The most important development needed is to obtain improved bone tissue estimation. The existing model-based methods perform poorly on bone tissues. This paper was aimed at…

Accurate reconstruction of implanted knee models is crucial in orthopedic surgery and biomedical engineering, enhancing preoperative planning, optimizing implant design, and improving surgical outcomes. Traditional methods rely on…

Calcaneus is the largest tarsal bone to withstand the daily stresses of weight-bearing. The calcaneal fracture is the most common type in the tarsal bone fractures. After a fracture is suspected, plain radiographs should be taken first.…
