Multimodal imaging has shown great potential in cancer research by concurrently providing anatomical, functional, and molecular information in live, intact animals. During preclinical imaging of small animals like mice, anesthesia is…
The work proposes an image segmentation algorithm that isolates slender regions in three-dimensional microstructures. Characterizing slender regions in material microstructures is an extremely important aspect in material science because…
In this project, and through an understanding of neuronal system communication, A novel model serves as an assistive technology for locked-in people suffering from Motor neuronal disease (MND) is proposed. Work was done upon the potential…
Ultrasound-based bone surface segmentation is crucial in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery. However, ultrasound images have limitations, including a low signal-to-noise ratio, and acoustic shadowing, which make interpretation difficult.…
Studying animal locomotion improves our understanding of motor control and aids in the treatment of motor impairment. Mice are a premier model of human disease and are the model system of choice for much of basic neuroscience. High frame…
This paper is focused on delivering a solution that can scan and reconstruct the 3D profile of a pipeline in real-time using a crawler robot. A structured infrared (IR) laser ring projector and a stereo camera system are used to generate…
Ultrasound (US) imaging is increasingly used in spinal procedures due to its real-time, radiation-free capabilities; however, its effectiveness is hindered by shadowing artifacts that obscure deeper tissue structures. Traditional…
Clinical examination of three-dimensional image data of compound anatomical objects, such as complex joints, remains a tedious process, demanding the time and the expertise of physicians. For instance, automation of the segmentation task of…
State-of-the-art brain tumor segmentation is based on deep learning models applied to multi-modal MRIs. Currently, these models are trained on images after a preprocessing stage that involves registration, interpolation, brain extraction…
Dents on the aircraft skin are frequent and may easily go undetected during airworthiness checks, as their inspection process is tedious and extremely subject to human factors and environmental conditions. Nowadays, 3D scanning technologies…
Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is a standard method to determine bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine. Traditionally single 8 - 10 mm thick slices have been analyzed only. Current spiral CT scanners provide true 3D acquisition…
Both, robot and hand-eye calibration haven been object to research for decades. While current approaches manage to precisely and robustly identify the parameters of a robot's kinematic model, they still rely on external devices, such as…
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have the potential to provide transformative control in prosthetics, assistive technologies (wheelchairs), robotics, and human-computer interfaces. While Motor Imagery (MI) offers an intuitive approach to BCI…
Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) offers noninvasive access to deep brain circuits but remains limited by skull-induced phase aberration, acoustic impedance mismatch, and poor volumetric control of intracranial pressure fields.…
In this paper, we present an automated approach for segmenting multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions from multi-modal brain magnetic resonance images. Our method is based on a deep end-to-end 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) for slice-based…
Computed Tomography (CT) of the temporal bone has become an important method for diagnosing ear diseases. Due to the different posture of the subject and the settings of CT scanners, the CT image of the human temporal bone should be…
This study presents a spiral-based complete coverage strategy for ball-end milling on freeform surfaces, utilizing conformal slit mapping to generate milling trajectories that are more compact, smoother, and evenly distributed when…
Clinical prognostic models derived from largescale healthcare data can inform critical diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. To enable off-theshelf usage of machine learning (ML) in prognostic research, we developed AUTOPROGNOSIS: a system…
Since the development of capsule endoscopcy technology, substantial progress were made in converting passive capsule endoscopes to robotic active capsule endoscopes which can be controlled by the doctor. However, robotic capsule endoscopy…
Segmenting both bone surface and the corresponding acoustic shadow are fundamental tasks in ultrasound (US) guided orthopedic procedures. However, these tasks are challenging due to minimal and blurred bone surface response in US images,…
