Employing computer vision (CV) and optimized pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), this work automatically quantifies the geometrical attributes of intracortical bone porosity (namely lacunae and canaliculi (L-C), Haversian canals, and resorption cav...
The goal of this study is to estimate micro-architectural parameters of cortical porosity such as pore diameter (φ), pore density (ρ) and porosity (ν) of cortical bone from ultrasound frequency dependent attenuation using an artificial neural network...

OBJECTIVE: Two important and difficult tasks during a bone drilling procedure are guiding the orientation of the drilling axis toward the target and maintaining the orientation against the drilling force. To accomplish these tasks, a remote center of...
Robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion has been slowly gaining popularity in the spine surgery community. In previous studies, robotics has been shown to increase accuracy and reduce complication rates compared to other navigation technologies, altho...

Ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) propagating in the long cortical bone can be measured via the axial transmission method. The characterization of long cortical bone using UGW is a multiparameter inverse problem. The optimal solution of the inverse prob...
This study proposes a deep learning model for cortical bone segmentation in the mandibular condyle head using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and an automated method for measuring cortical thickness with a color display based on the segmentation...
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...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and accuracy of cortical bone trajectory screw placement between the robot-assisted and fluoroscopy-assisted approaches.
