PURPOSE: A retrospective pilot study is conducted to demonstrate the utility of a novel support vector machine learning (SVML) algorithm in a small three-dimensional (3D) sample yielding sparse optical coherence tomography (spOCT) data for the automa...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the performance of feed-forward back-propagation artificial neural networks (ANNs) in detecting field defects caused by pituitary disease from among a glaucomatous population.
Neuromuscular impairment associated with cerebral palsy (CP) often leads to life-long walking deficits. Our goal was to evaluate the ability of a novel untethered wearable ankle exoskeleton to reduce the severity of gait pathology from CP. In this cl...
With the advancement of treatment modalities in radiation therapy for cancer patients, outcomes have improved, but at the cost of increased treatment plan complexity and planning time. The accurate prediction of dose distributions would alleviate thi...

BACKGROUND: Water-fat separation is a postprocessing technique most commonly applied to multiple-gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) images to identify fat, provide images with fat suppression, and to measure fat tissue concentration. Recently, Num...
This study investigated the feasibility of using fluorescence hyperspectral imaging technology to diagnose of early-stage gastric cancer. Fluorescence spectral images of 76 patients who were pathologically diagnosed as non-atrophic gastritis, premali...
The muscles of the lower limbs directly influence leg motion, therefore, lower limb muscle exercise is important for persons living with lower limb disabilities. This paper presents a medical assistive robot with leg exoskeletons for locomotion and l...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & frontotemporal degeneration
Jan 27, 2019
OBJECTIVE: We used the KINARM robot to quantify impairments in cognitive and upper-limb sensorimotor performance in a cohort of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We sought to study the feasibility of using this technology for ALS resea...

Jan 17, 2019
BACKGROUND: This paper suggests a method to assess the extent to which ultra-short Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features (less than 5 min) can be considered as valid surrogates of short HRV features (nominally 5 min). Short term HRV analysis has been...
