Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerate joint disorder that affects a large population of elderly people worldwide. Accurate radiographic assessment of knee OA severity plays a critical role in chronic patient management. Current…
Background: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are often undiagnosed until fragility fractures occur. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the reference standard for bone mineral density (BMD) assessment, but access remains limited. Knee…
The morphological changes in knee cartilage (especially femoral and tibial cartilages) are closely related to the progression of knee osteoarthritis, which is expressed by magnetic resonance (MR) images and assessed on the cartilage…
Musculoskeletal disorders represent a significant global health burden and are a leading cause of disability worldwide. While MRI is essential for accurate diagnosis, its interpretation remains exceptionally challenging. Radiologists must…
MRI is preferred over CT in paediatric imaging because it avoids ionising radiation, but its use in spine deformity assessment is largely limited by the lack of automated, high-resolution 3D bony reconstruction, which continues to rely on…
Purpose: Trochlear Dysplasia (TD) is a common malformation in adolescents, leading to anterior knee pain and instability. Surgical interventions such as trochleoplasty require precise planning to correct the trochlear groove. However, no…
Arrhythmias are irregularities in the hearts electrical system which cause rapid and irregular heartbeats. These heart conditions affect over 33 million people globally and significantly increase the risk of severe complications, including…
In the realm of exoskeleton control, achieving precise control poses challenges due to the mechanical delay of exoskeletons. To address this, incorporating future gait trajectories as feed-forward input has been proposed. However, existing…
Semi-autonomous prosthesis controllers based on computer vision improve performance while reducing cognitive effort. However, controllers relying on full-depth data face challenges in being deployed as embedded prosthesis controllers due to…
- New advance technologies based on reverse engineering , design and additive manufacturing, have expanded design capabilities for biomedical applications to include Patient Specific Implants (PSI). This change in design paradigms needs…
Cranial implant design is a challenging task, whose accuracy is crucial in the context of cranioplasty procedures. This task is usually performed manually by experts using computer-assisted design software. In this work, we propose and…
Accurate planning of transcatheter aortic implantation (TAVI) is important to minimize complications, and it requires anatomic evaluation of the aortic root (AR), commonly done through 3D computed tomography (CT) image analysis. Currently,…
Knee injuries are frequent, varied and often require the patient to undergo intensive rehabilitation for several months. Treatment protocols usually contemplate some recurrent measurements in order to assess progress, such as goniometry.…
The application of deep learning to pathology assumes the existence of digital whole slide images of pathology slides. However, slide digitization is bottlenecked by the high cost of precise motor stages in slide scanners that are needed…
Cage subsidence after instrumented lumbar spinal fusion surgery remains a significant cause of treatment failure, specifically for posterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Recent advancements in computational techniques and…
The basic problem of shape complementarity analysis appears fundamental to applications as diverse as mechanical design, assembly automation, robot motion planning, micro- and nano-fabrication, protein-ligand binding, and rational drug…
Wear on total knee replacements (TKRs) is an important criterion for their performance characteristics. Numerical simulations of such wear has seen increasing attention over the last years. They have the potential to be much faster and less…
Purpose: Inversion recovery prepared ultra-short echo time (IR-UTE)-based MRI enables radiation-free visualization of osseous tissue. However, sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can only be obtained with long acquisition times. This…
Surgical training involves didactic teaching, mentor-led learning, surgical skills laboratories, and direct exposure to surgery; however, increasing clinical pressures have limited operating room (OR) exposure. This work leverages virtual…
In total hip arthroplasty, analysis of postoperative medical images is important to evaluate surgical outcome. Since Computed Tomography (CT) is most prevalent modality in orthopedic surgery, we aimed at the analysis of CT image. In this…
