Obtaining frozen sections of bone tissue for intraoperative examination is challenging. To identify the bony edge of resection, orthopaedic oncologists therefore rely on pre-operative X-ray computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. However, ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the process of robotic fracture reduction, there is a risk of unintended collision of broken bones, which is not conducive to ensuring the safety of the reduction system. In order to solve this problem, this paper propose...
BACKGROUND: Bone age is the age of skeletal development and is a direct indicator of physical growth and development in children. Most bone age assessment (BAA) systems use direct regression with the entire hand bone map or first segmenting the regio...

Tissue differentiation varies based on patients' conditions, such as occlusal force and bone properties. Thus, the design of the implants needs to take these conditions into account to improve osseointegration. However, the efficiency of the design p...
OBJECTIVE: To develop, train, and test a convolutional neural network (CNN) for detection of spinal lytic lesions in chest, abdomen, and pelvis CT scans.
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative...
Non-rigid registration between 3D surfaces is an important but notorious problem in medical imaging, because finding correspondences between non-isometric instances is mathematically non-trivial. We propose a novel self-supervised method to learn sha...

PURPOSE: Spinal bone metastases directly affect quality of life, and patients with lytic-dominant lesions are at high risk for neurological symptoms and fractures. To detect and classify lytic spinal bone metastasis using routine computed tomography ...
PURPOSE: Whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBS) is one of the most widely used modalities in diagnosing malignant bone diseases during the early stages. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires vigour and experience. Moreover, interpretation...

PURPOSE: Automatic robotic platforms for robot-aided spinal surgery are mostly employed for drilling the pedicle screw path and do not adapt the tool rotational speed depending on the variation of the bone density. This feature is highly desirable in...
