Pharyngeal health plays a vital role in essential human functions such as breathing, swallowing, and vocalization. Early detection of swallowing abnormalities, also known as dysphagia, is crucial for timely intervention. However, current…

This study evaluates the use of machine learning, specifically the Random Forest Classifier, to differentiate normal and pathological swallowing sounds. Employing a commercially available wearable stethoscope, we recorded swallows from both…

Endoscopy is a crucial tool for diagnosing the gastrointestinal tract, but its effectiveness is often limited by a narrow field of view and the dynamic nature of the internal environment, especially in the esophagus, where complex and…

High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary procedure used to diagnose esophageal motility disorders. Its interpretation and classification includes an initial evaluation of swallow-level outcomes and then derivation of a study-level…

Deep learning-based methods, such as the sliding window approach for cropped-image classification and heuristic aggregation for whole-slide inference, for analyzing histological patterns in high-resolution microscopy images have shown…

Automatic organ segmentation is an important yet challenging problem for medical image analysis. The pancreas is an abdominal organ with very high anatomical variability. This inhibits previous segmentation methods from achieving high…

Open-vocabulary segmentation of 3D scenes is a fundamental function of human perception and thus a crucial objective in computer vision research. However, this task is heavily impeded by the lack of large-scale and diverse 3D…

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of malignant tumor. Accurate and automatic segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) of computed tomography (CT) images is clinically significant. In recent years, deep learning models represented by…

The electroencephalogram (EEG) offers a non-invasive means by which a listener's auditory system may be monitored during continuous speech perception. Reliable auditory-EEG decoders could facilitate the objective diagnosis of hearing…

Since last 2 decades, High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) are studied as a promising biomarker to localize the epileptogenic zone of patients with refractory focal epilepsy. As HFOs visual detection is time consuming and subjective,…

Clinical target volume (CTV) delineation from radiotherapy computed tomography (RTCT) images is used to define the treatment areas containing the gross tumor volume (GTV) and/or sub-clinical malignant disease for radiotherapy (RT). High…

Automatic organ segmentation is an important prerequisite for many computer-aided diagnosis systems. The high anatomical variability of organs in the abdomen, such as the pancreas, prevents many segmentation methods from achieving high…

Recognition of objects from partial information presents a significant challenge for theories of vision because it requires spatial integration and extrapolation from prior knowledge. We combined neurophysiological recordings in human…

Accurate assessment of spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) maturation is a key indicator of craniofacial growth and a critical determinant for orthodontic and surgical timing. However, SOS staging from cone-beam CT (CBCT) relies on subtle,…

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are receiving increased attention because they mimic synaptic connections in biological systems and produce spike trains, which can be approximated by binary values for computational efficiency. Recently, the…

The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab test is a method for collecting cultures to diagnose for different types of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. Delegating this task to robots would be beneficial in terms of reducing infection risks and…

Purpose. Early squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) in the oesophagus is a highly treatable condition. Lesions confined to the mucosal layer can be curatively treated endoscopically. We build a computer-assisted detection (CADe) system that can…

Deep neural networks have been widely adopted for automatic organ segmentation from abdominal CT scans. However, the segmentation accuracy of some small organs (e.g., the pancreas) is sometimes below satisfaction, arguably because deep…

Detecting elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is crucial in diagnosing and managing various neurological conditions. These fluctuations in pressure are transmitted to the optic nerve sheath (ONS), resulting in changes to its diameter,…

Cough is a protective reflex conveying information on the state of the respiratory system. Cough assessment has been limited so far to subjective measurement tools or uncomfortable (i.e., non-wearable) cough monitors. This limits the…
