Simultaneous Tissue Classification and Lateral Ventricle Segmentation via a 2D U-net Driven by a 3D Fully Convolutional Neural Network.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, we proposed and validated a novel and fully automatic pipeline for simultaneous tissue classification and lateral ventricle segmentation via a 2D U-net. The 2D U-net was driven by a 3D fully convolutional neural network (FCN). Multiple...

Estimating Movements of Human Body for the Shirt-Type Wearable Device Mounted on the Strain Sensors Based on Convolutional Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To measure the life log of humans and enjoy virtual or augmented reality video games, several wearable devices have been developed that allow users to intuitively input commands. However, monitoring and estimating three-dimensional human motions for ...

Vision Based Robot Assistance in TTTS Fetal Surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents an accurate and robust tracking vision algorithm for Fetoscopic Laser Photo-coagulation (FLP) surgery for Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). The aim of the proposed method is to assist surgeons during anastomosis localization,...

Determination of a tactile feedback strategy for use in robotized percutaneous procedures.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Remote manipulation in robotized percutaneous procedures can offer increased safety to radiologists as well as patients. Providing feedback to the radiologist on needle-tissue interactions is however mandatory in addition to the medical images. A tac...

Higher Order Statistical Analysis for Thyroid Texture Classification and Segmentation in 2D ultrasound Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Ultrasound (US) imaging is one of the most cost-effective imaging modality that utilizes sound waves for generating medical images of anatomical structure. However, the presence of speckle noise and low contrast in the US images makes it difficult to...

Patch Based Texture Classification of Thyroid Ultrasound Images using Convolutional Neural Network.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Ultrasound (US) is an affordable and important imaging modality in medical imaging without potential hazards for patients and medical practitioners as compared to computed tomography which uses X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging which uses magnetic f...

A sustainable HL7 FHIR based ontology for PHR data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
One of the most widely acknowledged standards in health informatics is HL7 (Health Level 7 International). HL7 FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is a new HL7 standard for exchanging electronic health data. It builds upon previous HL7...

An Artificial Intelligence-Based System for Nutrient Intake Assessment of Hospitalised Patients.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Regular nutrient intake monitoring in hospitalised patients plays a critical role in reducing the risk of disease-related malnutrition (DRM). Although several methods to estimate nutrient intake have been developed, there is still a clear demand for ...

Spectro-Temporal Feature Based Multi-Channel Convolutional Neural Network for ECG Beat Classification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic classification of abnormal beats in ECG signals is crucial for monitoring cardiac conditions and the performance of the classification will improve the success rate of the treatment. However, under certain circumstances, traditional classif...

EEG-Based Mental Workload Estimation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Knowledge of the level of mental workload induced by any task is essential for optimizing load share among the operators. This helps in assessing their capability; besides, helping in task allocation. Since a persistently high workload experienced by...
