Patch-based classification of gallbladder wall vascularity from laparoscopic images using deep learning.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In this study, we propose a deep learning approach for assessment of gallbladder (GB) wall vascularity from images of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Difficulty in the visualization of GB wall vessels may be the result of fatty infiltrati...

Knowledge-Aided Convolutional Neural Network for Small Organ Segmentation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Accurate and automatic organ segmentation is critical for computer-aided analysis towards clinical decision support and treatment planning. State-of-the-art approaches have achieved remarkable segmentation accuracy on large organs, such as the liver ...

Application of fractal theory and fuzzy enhancement in ultrasound image segmentation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...

Improved surgical instruments without coupled motion used in minimally invasive surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Unlike a manual surgical instrument, a surgical instrument used in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is configured with a wrist to improve flexibility in surgical operation. However, this configuration has a shortcoming that...
