Robotic adherent cell injection for characterizing cell-cell communication.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Compared to robotic injection of suspended cells (e.g., embryos and oocytes), fewer attempts were made to automate the injection of adherent cells (e.g., cancer cells and cardiomyocytes) due to their smaller size, highly irregular morphology, small t...

A powered prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper presents the design and validation of a control system for a pair of powered knee and ankle prostheses to be used as a prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees. The control system leverages communication between the pros...

Advancing Acoustic Droplet Vaporization for Tissue Characterization Using Quantitative Ultrasound and Transfer Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is an emerging technique with expanding applications in biomedical ultrasound. ADV-generated bubbles can function as microscale probes that provide insights into the mechanical properties of their surrounding micro...

Cutting Skill Assessment by Motion Analysis Using Deep Learning and Spatial Marker Tracking.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
The assessment of surgical skill is crucial for indicating a surgeon's proficiency. While motion analysis of surgical tools is widely used in endoscopic surgery, it is not commonly applied to open surgery. Instead, open surgery skill assessment relie...

Modality-Aware Distillation Network for Microvascular Invasion Prediction of Hepatocellar Carcinoma From MRI Images.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a crucial histopathologic prognostic factor associated with cancer recurrence after liver transplantation or hepatectomy. Recently, clinicoradiologic characteristics are combined with ...

Diagnosing Necrotizing Enterocolitis via Fine-Grained Visual Classification.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating condition affecting prematurely born neonates. Reviewing Abdominal X-rays (AXRs) is a key step in NEC diagnosis, staging and treatment decision-making, but poses significant challenges due to the subtl...

Hybrid Cooperative Control of Functional Electrical Stimulation and Robot Assistance for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Hybrid systems that integrate Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and robotic assistance have been proposed in neurorehabilitation to enhance therapeutic benefits. This study focuses on designing a cooperative controller capable of dis...

Deep Learning for Multiple Sclerosis Differentiation Using Multi-Stride Dynamics in Gait.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition of the central nervous system leading to various physical, mental and psychiatric complexities. Mobility limitations are amongst the most frequent and early markers of MS. We eval...

Feature-Based Representation Improves Color Decomposition and Nuclear Detection Using a Convolutional Neural Network.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Detection of nuclei is an important step in phenotypic profiling of 1) histology sections imaged in bright field; and 2) colony formation of the 3-D cell culture models that are imaged using confocal microscopy. It is shown that feature-based represe...

Joint Dictionary Learning-Based Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for Voice Conversion to Improve Speech Intelligibility After Oral Surgery.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper focuses on machine learning based voice conversion (VC) techniques for improving the speech intelligibility of surgical patients who have had parts of their articulators removed. Because of the removal of parts of the articulator, a patie...
