Leveraging spatial uncertainty for online error compensation in EMT.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) can potentially complement fluoroscopic navigation, reducing radiation exposure in a hybrid setting. Due to the susceptibility to external distortions, systematic error in EMT needs to be compensated algorithmi...

Real-time Concealed Object Detection from Passive Millimeter Wave Images Based on the YOLOv3 Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The detection of objects concealed under people's clothing is a very challenging task, which has crucial applications for security. When testing the human body for metal contraband, the concealed targets are usually small in size and are required to ...

Preliminary study on alginate/NIPAM hydrogel-based soft microrobot for controlled drug delivery using electromagnetic actuation and near-infrared stimulus.

Biomedical microdevices
Currently, microrobots are receiving attention because of their small size and motility, which can be applied to minimal invasive therapy. Additionally, various microrobots using hydrogel with the characteristics of biocompatibility and biodegradabil...

Real-time microrobot posture recognition via biplane X-ray imaging system for external electromagnetic actuation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: As a promising intravascular therapeutic approach for autonomous catheterization, especially for thrombosis treatment, a microrobot or robotic catheter driven by an external electromagnetic actuation system has been recently investigated. Ho...

Using a deep learning network to recognise low back pain in static standing.

Ergonomics
Low back pain (LBP) remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, while algorithms that able to recognise LBP patients from healthy population using balance performance data are rarely seen. In this study, human balance and body sway p...

Using echo state networks for classification: A case study in Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Despite having notable advantages over established machine learning methods for time series analysis, reservoir computing methods, such as echo state networks (ESNs), have yet to be widely used for practical data mining applications. In this paper, w...

A border-ownership model based on computational electromagnetism.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The mathematical relation between a vector electric field and its corresponding scalar potential field is useful to formulate computational problems of lower/middle-order visual processing, specifically related to the assignment of borders to the sid...

Development of an improved sample preparation platform for acidic endogenous hormones in plant tissues using electromembrane extraction.

Journal of chromatography. A
Despite their importance in pivotal signaling pathways due to trace quantities and complex matrices, the analysis of plant hormones is a challenge. Here, to improve this issue, we present an electromembrane extraction technology combined with liquid ...

Computed tomography (CT)-compatible remote center of motion needle steering robot: Fusing CT images and electromagnetic sensor data.

Medical engineering & physics
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death, and early detection can reduce the mortality rate. Patients with lung nodules greater than 10 mm usually undergo a computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy. However, aligning the needle with...

The use of a robotic tibial rotation device and an electromagnetic tracking system to accurately reproduce the clinical dial test.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to: (1) determine whether a robotic tibial rotation device and an electromagnetic tracking system could accurately reproduce the clinical dial test at 30° of knee flexion; (2) compare rotation data captured at t...
