Noninvasive Personalization of a Cardiac Electrophysiology Model From Body Surface Potential Mapping.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: We use noninvasive data (body surface potential mapping, BSPM) to personalize the main parameters of a cardiac electrophysiological (EP) model for predicting the response to different pacing conditions.

Segmentation of Fetal Left Ventricle in Echocardiographic Sequences Based on Dynamic Convolutional Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Segmentation of fetal left ventricle (LV) in echocardiographic sequences is important for further quantitative analysis of fetal cardiac function. However, image gross inhomogeneities and fetal random movements make the segmentation a challenging pro...

Mammogram Enhancement Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Conventional mammogram enhancement methods use transform-domain filtering, which possibly produce some artifacts or not well highlight all local details in images. This paper presents a new enhancement method based on intuitionistic fuzzy ...

System Integration and In Vivo Testing of a Robot for Ultrasound Guidance and Monitoring During Radiotherapy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
We are developing a cooperatively controlled robot system for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in which a clinician and robot share control of a 3-D ultrasound (US) probe. IGRT involves two main steps: 1) planning/simulation and 2) treatment del...

Multilevel Contextual 3-D CNNs for False Positive Reduction in Pulmonary Nodule Detection.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: False positive reduction is one of the most crucial components in an automated pulmonary nodule detection system, which plays an important role in lung cancer diagnosis and early treatment. The objective of this paper is to effectively add...

Efficient Descriptor-Based Segmentation of Parotid Glands With Nonlocal Means.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: We introduce descriptor-based segmentation that extends existing patch-based methods by combining intensities, features, and location information. Since it is unclear which image features are best suited for patch selection, we perform a b...

Gait-Event-Based Synchronization Method for Gait Rehabilitation Robots via a Bioinspired Adaptive Oscillator.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
In the field of gait rehabilitation robotics, achieving human-robot synchronization is very important. In this paper, a novel human-robot synchronization method using gait event information is proposed. This method includes two steps. First, seven ga...

Switched Fuzzy-PD Control of Contact Forces in Robotic Microbiomanipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Force sensing and control are of paramount importance in robotic micromanipulation. A contact force regulator capable of accurately applying mechanical stimuli to a live Drosophila larva could greatly facilitate mechanobiology research on Drosophila ...

Autofocusing and Polar Body Detection in Automated Cell Manipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Autofocusing and feature detection are two essential processes for performing automated biological cell manipulation tasks. In this paper, we have introduced a technique capable of focusing on a holding pipette and a mammalian cell under a bright-fie...
