Latest AI and machine learning research in pregnancy for healthcare professionals.
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) reconstructs high-resolution images of various chromophores in deep biological tissue. A key to high-quality reconstruction is accurate compensation for the spatially heterogeneous speed of sound (SoS) in tissue. Existing computational methods often estimate or compensate SoS by tuning it directly in the image domain, for example by optimizing sharpness or ...
This review explores the current state of eversion robotics in the context of colonoscopy, given the need for less invasive, more patient-friendly screening technologies. Conventional colonoscopy often leads to discomfort and patient reluctance, contributing to delayed diagnoses and high colorectal cancer mortality rates. Eversion robots, also known as vine robots or soft growing robots are soft, ...
