BACKGROUND: Deep learning has always been at the forefront of scientific research. It has also been applied to medical research. Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is characterized by gait abnormalities and is usually evaluated semi-quantitative...
BACKGROUND: Subjective classification of gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy depends on the assessor's experience, while mathematical methods produce virtual groups with no clinical interpretation.

To enhance the performance of the brain-actuated robot system, a novel shared controller based on Bayesian approach is proposed for intelligently combining robot automatic control and brain-actuated control, which takes into account the uncertainty o...
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used as heart valve replacements but they are prone to fatigue failure; estimating their remaining life directly from medical images is difficult. Analyzing the valve performance can provide better guida...
