Health indexes are useful tools for monitoring the health condition of a population and can be used to guide healthcare policy of governments. However, most health indexes are constructed by using statistical methods to summarize recent adverse event...
BACKGROUND: A neurological disorder is one of the significant problems of the nervous system that affects the essential functions of the human brain and spinal cord. Monitoring brain activity through electroencephalography (EEG) has become an importa...

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) is an efficient and cost-effective method of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, nondiagnostic HSAT necessitates additional tests that erode these benefits, delaying diagnoses and incre...
MOTIVATION: Clinical decision support systems have been applied in numerous fields, ranging from cancer survival toward drug resistance prediction. Nevertheless, clinical decision support systems typically have a caveat: many of them are perceived as...

To assist in percutaneous interventions in the lower back under magnetic resonance imaging guidance, a 4 degree-of-freedom body-mounted parallel robot is developed. The robot structure is improved comparatively to a previously developed robot, to inc...
Accurate assessment of burn severity is critical for wound care and the course of treatment. Delays in classification translate to delays in burn management, increasing the risk of scarring and infection. To this end, numerous imaging techniques have...
Breast cancer survival prediction can have an extreme effect on selection of best treatment protocols. Many approaches such as statistical or machine learning models have been employed to predict the survival prospects of patients, but newer algorith...

BACKGROUND: Spectral computed tomography (CT) has the capability to resolve the energy levels of incident photons, which has the potential to distinguish different material compositions. Although material decomposition methods based on x-ray attenuat...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) enables video rate imaging of blood flow. However, its relation to tissue blood perfusion is nonlinear and depends strongly on exposure time. By contrast, the perfusion estimate from the slower laser Doppler flow...
