A deep learning framework for automatic detection of arbitrarily shaped fiducial markers in intrafraction fluoroscopic images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Real-time image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART) requires accurate marker segmentation to resolve three-dimensional (3D) motion based on two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic images. Most common marker segmentation methods require prior...

Automatic Classification of Gait Impairments Using a Markerless 2D Video-Based System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Systemic disorders affecting an individual can cause gait impairments. Successful acquisition and evaluation of features representing such impairments make it possible to estimate the severity of those disorders, which is important information for mo...

Novel real-time tumor-contouring method using deep learning to prevent mistracking in X-ray fluoroscopy.

Radiological physics and technology
Robustness to obstacles is the most important factor necessary to achieve accurate tumor tracking without fiducial markers. Some high-density structures, such as bone, are enhanced on X-ray fluoroscopic images, which cause tumor mistracking. Tumor tr...

What are the six degree-of-freedom errors of a robotically-machined femoral cavity in total hip arthroplasty and are they clinically important? An in-vitro study.

Medical engineering & physics
Errors during a robot-assisted THA may result in a femoral cavity with position and orientation different than planned. This can lead to a femoral component placement that inaccurately sets a patient's femoral anteversion (FA), femoral offset (FO), a...

3T MR-guided in-bore transperineal prostate biopsy: A comparison of robotic and manual needle-guidance templates.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the utility of a robotic needle-guidance template device as compared to a manual template for in-bore 3T transperineal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided prostate biopsy.

Toward Autonomous Marker Localization for Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study compares the effectiveness of the traditional minimum circle detection strategy, i.e. Welzl's algorithm, and the state-of-the-art nnU-Net in the localization of lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) robot markers across different imaging...

Feasibility of Image Registration for Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Radiotherapy Based on Similarity Measurement by a Convolutional Neural Network.

Technology in cancer research & treatment
PURPOSE: Registration of 3-dimensional ultrasound images poses a challenge for ultrasound-guided radiation therapy of the prostate since ultrasound image content changes significantly with anatomic motion and ultrasound probe position. The purpose of...
