This paper presents methods of decomposition of musculoskeletal structures from radiographs into multiple individual muscle and bone structures. While existing solutions require dual-energy scan for the training dataset and are mainly applied to stru...
Owing to their compliance, soft robots demonstrate enhanced compatibility with humans and the environment compared with traditional rigid robots. However, ensuring the working effectiveness of artificial muscles that actuate soft robots in confined s...

PURPOSE: This article aims to construct a new method to evaluate radiographic image identification results based on artificial intelligence, which can complement the limited vision of researchers when studying the effect of various factors on clinica...
Cancer metastasis is one of the main causes of cancer progression and difficulty in treatment. Genes play a key role in the process of cancer metastasis, as they can influence tumor cell invasiveness, migration ability and fitness. At the same time, ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate cephalometric analysis plays a vital role in the diagnosis and subsequent surgical planning in orthognathic and orthodontics treatment. However, manual digitization of anatomical landmarks in computed tomography (CT) is subject t...
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) has been extensively studied in both preclinical and clinical settings for multiple applications, notably as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool for tissue identification and disease delineation. In this study,...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The accurate evaluation of bone mechanical properties is essential for predicting fracture risk based on clinical computed tomography (CT) images. However, blurring and noise in clinical CT images can compromise the accuracy...
Bone material contains a hierarchical network of micro- and nano-cavities and channels, known as the lacuna-canalicular network (LCN), that is thought to play an important role in mechanobiology and turnover. The LCN comprises micrometer-sized lacuna...
