Quantitative assessment of colorectal morphology: Implications for robotic colonoscopy.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper presents a method of characterizing the distribution of colorectal morphometrics. It uses three-dimensional region growing and topological thinning algorithms to determine and visualize the luminal volume and centreline of the colon, respe...

Fuzzy approximate entropy analysis of resting state fMRI signal complexity across the adult life span.

Medical engineering & physics
In this study, we present a method for measuring functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal complexity using fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) and compare it with the established sample entropy (SampEn). Here we use resting state fMRI datase...

Surrogate modeling of deformable joint contact using artificial neural networks.

Medical engineering & physics
Deformable joint contact models can be used to estimate loading conditions for cartilage-cartilage, implant-implant, human-orthotic, and foot-ground interactions. However, contact evaluations are often so expensive computationally that they can be pr...

An integrated CAD/CAM/robotic milling method for custom cementless femoral prostheses.

Medical engineering & physics
Aseptic loosening is the primary cause of cementless femoral prosthesis failure and is related to the primary stability of the cementless femoral prosthesis in the femoral cavity. The primary stability affects both the osseointegration and the long-t...

A novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological heart murmurs.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...

Mechanical characterization of bone anchors used with a bone-attached, parallel robot for skull surgery.

Medical engineering & physics
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...

Adaptive myoelectric pattern recognition toward improved multifunctional prosthesis control.

Medical engineering & physics
The non-stationary property of electromyography (EMG) signals in real life settings usually hinders the clinical application of the myoelectric pattern recognition for prosthesis control. The classical EMG pattern recognition approach consists of two...

Data dependent random forest applied to screening for laryngeal disorders through analysis of sustained phonation: acoustic versus contact microphone.

Medical engineering & physics
Comprehensive evaluation of results obtained using acoustic and contact microphones in screening for laryngeal disorders through analysis of sustained phonation is the main objective of this study. Aiming to obtain a versatile characterization of voi...

DDUM: Deformable Dilated U-structure Module for coronary stenosis detection.

Medical engineering & physics
Deep learning methods are increasingly popular in assisting physicians with diagnosing coronary artery disease and reducing errors caused by subjective judgment. However, accessing and labeling medical imaging data, especially coronary angiography da...

A new network structure for Parkinson's handwriting image recognition.

Medical engineering & physics
Parkinson's disease (PD) remains a condition without a cure, though its early manifestations can be managed effectively by medical professionals. This underscores the significance of early detection of PD. It has been widely demonstrated that handwri...
