Feasibility of Antegrade Contrast-enhanced US Nephrostograms to Evaluate Ureteral Patency.

Radiology
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of contrast material-enhanced ulrasonographic (US) nephrostograms to assess ureteral patency after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in this proof-of-concept study. Materials and Methods For this HIPAA-complia...

Image Segmentation and Machine Learning for Detection of Abdominal Free Fluid in Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma Examinations: A Pilot Study.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
The objective of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of automating the detection of abdominal free fluid in focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examinations. Perihepatic views from 10 FAST examinations with positive results ...

A Novel EMG Interface for Individuals With Tetraplegia to Pilot Robot Hand Grasping.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a new human-machine interface for individuals with tetraplegia. We investigated the feasibility of piloting an assistive device by processing supra-lesional muscle responses online. The ability to voluntarily contract a set of s...

A Robotic Coach Architecture for Elder Care (ROCARE) Based on Multi-User Engagement Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The aging population with its concomitant medical conditions, physical and cognitive impairments, at a time of strained resources, establishes the urgent need to explore advanced technologies that may enhance function and quality of life. Recently, r...

Indications, technique, and results of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.

Updates in surgery
Robotic assistance improves surgical dexterity in minimally invasive operations, especially when fine dissection and multiple sutures are required. As such, robotic assistance could be rewarding in the setting of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD). ...

Using Data From the Microsoft Kinect 2 to Quantify Upper Limb Behavior: A Feasibility Study.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The objective of this study was to assess whether the novel application of a machine learning approach to data collected from the Microsoft Kinect 2 (MK2) could be used to classify differing levels of upper limb impairment. Twenty-four healthy subjec...

Cognitive bio-radar: The natural evolution of bio-signals measurement.

Journal of medical systems
In this article we discuss a novel approach to Bio-Radar, contactless measurement of bio-signals, called Cognitive Bio-Radar. This new approach implements the Bio-Radar in a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform in order to obtain awareness of the en...

Towards natural language question generation for the validation of ontologies and mappings.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: The increasing number of open-access ontologies and their key role in several applications such as decision-support systems highlight the importance of their validation. Human expertise is crucial for the validation of ontologies from a d...

Model-Free Machine Learning in Biomedicine: Feasibility Study in Type 1 Diabetes.

PloS one
Although reinforcement learning (RL) is suitable for highly uncertain systems, the applicability of this class of algorithms to medical treatment may be limited by the patient variability which dictates individualised tuning for their usually multipl...

Use of "off-the-shelf" information extraction algorithms in clinical informatics: A feasibility study of MetaMap annotation of Italian medical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Information extraction from narrative clinical notes is useful for patient care, as well as for secondary use of medical data, for research or clinical purposes. Many studies focused on information extraction from English clinical texts, but less dea...
