BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bone suppression images (BSIs) of chest radiographs (CXRs) have been proven to improve diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. To acquire BSIs, dual-energy subtraction (DES) or a deep-learning-based model trained with DES-based BSI...
Three-photon excitation has recently been demonstrated as an effective method to perform intravital microscopy in deep, previously inaccessible regions of the mouse brain. The applicability of 3-photon excitation for deep imaging of other, more heter...
To investigate the effect of ultrasonic parameter settings on maximum temperatures in the drilling site and penetration time and determine the most suitable parameters for efficient and safe robot-based ultrasonic bone drilling in spinal surgery. F...
BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare and underdiagnosed condition characterized by deficient bone and teeth mineralization. The aim of this study was first, to evaluate the diagnostic utility of employing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) threshold ...
PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT) is a technique of choice to image bone structure at different scales. Methods to enhance the quality of degraded reconstructions obtained from low-dose CT data have shown impressive results recently, especially in th...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the deep learning-based (VSBONE BSI) and atlas-based (BONENAVI) segmentation accuracy that have been developed to measure the bone scan index based on skeletal segmentation.

In medical surgery, bone drilling is an inevitable procedure. The thermal necrosis in the drilling process can affect post-operative recovery. In this study, the method of drill bit precooling is proposed in bone drilling with robot assisted system. ...
BACKGROUND: Routinely delineating of important skeletal growth centers is imperative to mitigate radiation-induced growth abnormalities for pediatric cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, it is hindered by several practical problems, in...
