BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: An accurate lateral cephalometric analysis is vital in orthodontic diagnosis. Identification of anatomic landmarks on lateral cephalograms is tedious, and errors may occur depending on the doctor's experience. Several attemp...
The annotation of three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric landmarks in 3D computerized tomography (CT) has become an essential part of cephalometric analysis, which is used for diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. The automation of 3D...
BACKGROUND: The occurrence of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an important medical issue. Expert surgeons prevent intraoperative BDI by identifying four landmarks. The present study aimed to develop a system that ou...
The objective investigation of the dynamic properties of vocal fold vibrations demands the recording and further quantitative analysis of laryngeal high-speed video (HSV). Quantification of the vocal fold vibration patterns requires as a first step t...
Cochlear implants (CIs) are used to treat subjects with hearing loss. In a CI surgery, an electrode array is inserted into the cochlea to stimulate auditory nerves. After surgery, CIs need to be programmed. Studies have shown that the cochlea-electro...
BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node status is important for breast cancer staging and treatment planning as the majority of breast cancer metastasis spreads through the axillary lymph nodes. There is currently no reliable noninvasive imaging method to de...
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans are commonly used in diagnosing and planning surgical or orthodontic treatment to correct craniomaxillofacial (CMF) deformities. Based on CBCT images, it is clinically essential to generate an accurate 3D mo...
Utilizing the idea of long-term cumulative return, reinforcement learning (RL) has shown remarkable performance in various fields. We follow the formulation of landmark localization in 3D medical images as an RL problem. Whereas value-based methods h...
