Accurate Continuous Prediction of 14 Degrees of Freedom of the Hand from Myoelectrical Signals through Convolutive Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Natural control of assistive devices requires continuous positional encoding and decoding of the user's volition. Human movement is encoded by recruitment and rate coding of spinal motor units. Surface electromyography provides some information on th...

Human Performance of Three Hands in Unimanual, Bimanual and Trimanual Tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Trimanual operation using a robotic supernumerary limb is a new and challenging mechanism for human operators that could enable a single user to perform tasks requiring more than two hands. Foot-controlled interfaces have previously proven able to be...

A proposed computer vision model for running gait assessment.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Running gait assessment is critical in performance optimization and injury prevention. Traditional approaches to running gait assessment are inhibited by unnatural running environments (e.g., indoor lab), varied assessor (i.e., subjective experience)...

Deep learning methods for lesion detection on mammography images: a comparative analysis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic lesion segmentation in mammography images assists in the diagnosis of breast cancer, which is the most common type of cancer especially among women. The robust segmentation of mammography images has been considered a backbreaking task due t...

Evaluation Tool to Diagnose Faults and Discrepancy in Semi-Automated or Manual Annotations in Ultrasound Cine Loops (Videos).

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Good quality (annotated) data is one of the most important aspects of supervised deep learning. Tasks such as semantic segmentation have a huge data requirement in exchange for only satisfactory performance. Large-scale annotations spread across mult...

Probing the link between the APOE-ε4 allele and whole-brain gray matter using deep learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The APOE-ε4 allele is a known genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, it can be reasoned that the APOE-ε4 allele would also impact neurodegeneration-associated structural brain changes. Here we probe if the APOE-ε4 genotype directly modulate...

FcTC-UNet: Fine-grained Combination of Transformer and CNN for Thoracic Organs Segmentation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Precise segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) in computed tomography (CT) images is an essential step for lung cancer radiotherapy. However, the manual delineation of OARs is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variation. Although U-like arc...

Development of Needle Guide Unit Considering Buckling Bone-Perforation Control Strategy Based on Computed Tomography-Guided Needle Insertion Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system is useful for needle insertion into metastatic carcinoma of vertebrae, which has limited pathways. However, the use of conventional needles in this procedure can result in bone fracture in t...

Improving Deep Learning-based Cardiac Abnormality Detection in 12-Lead ECG with Data Augmentation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automated Electrocardiogram (ECG) classification using deep neural networks requires large datasets annotated by medical professionals, which is time-consuming and expensive. This work examines ECG augmentation as a method for enriching existing data...

An Ensemble of Deep Learning Frameworks for Predicting Respiratory Anomalies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper evaluates a range of deep learning frameworks for detecting respiratory anomalies from input audio. Audio recordings of respiratory cycles collected from patients are transformed into time-frequency spectrograms to serve as front-end two-d...
