Automatic segmentation of bone surfaces from ultrasound using a filter-layer-guided CNN.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Ultrasound (US) provides real-time, two-/three-dimensional safe imaging. Due to these capabilities, it is considered a safe alternative to intra-operative fluoroscopy in various computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) procedures. However...

Robotically assisted long bone biopsy under MRI: cadaver study results.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We have designed and constructed an MR-safe robot made entirely of nonmetallic components with pneumatic actuators and optical encoders. The robot was developed to enable bone biopsies to be performed under magnetic resonanc...

Deep convolutional neural network for segmentation of knee joint anatomy.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate a new segmentation method using deep convolutional neural network (CNN), 3D fully connected conditional random field (CRF), and 3D simplex deformable modeling to improve the efficiency and accuracy of knee joint tiss...

Comparative microstructural analysis of bone osteotomies after cutting by computer-assisted robot-guided laser osteotome and piezoelectric osteotome: an in vivo animal study.

Lasers in medical science
Most industrial laser applications utilize computer and robot assistance, for guidance, safety, repeatability, and precision. In contrast, medical applications using laser systems are mostly conducted manually. The advantages can be effective only wh...

Distinguishing butchery cut marks from crocodile bite marks through machine learning methods.

Scientific reports
All models of evolution of human behaviour depend on the correct identification and interpretation of bone surface modifications (BSM) on archaeofaunal assemblages. Crucial evolutionary features, such as the origin of stone tool use, meat-eating, foo...

Ultrasound Characterization of Bone Demineralization Using a Support Vector Machine.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
We propose an ultrasound-guided remote measurement technique, utilizing an acoustic radiation force beam as our excitation source and a receiving hydrophone, to assess non-invasively a bone's mechanical properties. Features, such as velocity, were ex...

[Advantages and Application Prospects of Deep Learning in Image Recognition and Bone Age Assessment].

Fa yi xue za zhi
Deep learning and neural network models have been new research directions and hot issues in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence in recent years. Deep learning has made a breakthrough in the applications of image and speech reco...

3D Reconstruction of human bones based on dictionary learning.

Medical engineering & physics
An effective method for reconstructing a 3D model of human bones from computed tomography (CT) image data based on dictionary learning is proposed. In this study, the dictionary comprises the vertices of triangular meshes, and the sparse coefficient ...

Fuzzy Object Skeletonization: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Skeletonization offers a compact representation of an object while preserving important topological and geometrical features. Literature on skeletonization of binary objects is quite mature. However, challenges involved with skeletonization of fuzzy ...
