Accurate Age Determination for Adolescents Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Hand and Wrist with an Artificial Neural Network-Based Approach.

Journal of digital imaging
This study proposes an accurate method in assessing chronological age of the adolescents using a machine learning approach using MRI images. We also examined the value of MRI with Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW3) method in assessing skeletal maturity. Seven...

[Palm vein recognition based on end-to-end convolutional neural network].

Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University
We propose a novel palm-vein recognition model based on the end-to-end convolutional neural network. In this model, the convolutional layer and the pooling layer were alternately connected to extract the image features, and the categorical attribute ...

Design, analysis and performance evaluation of a hand gesture platform for navigation.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Prevailing technological solutions that address the problems that are experienced by the infirm and elderly people in terms of locomotion needs, offer limited options when it comes to control mechanism and customization. For more than a decade, joyst...

Machine learning approach for rapid and accurate estimation of optical properties using spatial frequency domain imaging.

Journal of biomedical optics
Fast estimation of optical properties from reflectance measurements at two spatial frequencies could pave way for real-time, wide-field and quantitative mapping of vital signs of tissues. We present a machine learning-based approach for estimating op...

Investigating Upper Limb Movement Classification on Users with Tetraplegia as a Possible Neuroprosthesis Interface.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and other nervous system conditions can result in partial or total paralysis of individual's limbs. Numerous technologies have been proposed to assist neurorehabilitation or movement restoration, e.g. robotics or neur...

Flexo-glove: A 3D Printed Soft Exoskeleton Robotic Glove for Impaired Hand Rehabilitation and Assistance.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a compact and streamlined design of a soft exoskeleton glove for assistance in activities of daily livings and also rehabilitation purposes of patients with hand function impairment. Most of the existing hand exoskeletons have foc...

A force augmenting exoskeleton for the human hand designed for pinching and grasping.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Almost 1 million Americans suffer from debilitative disorders or injuries to the hand, which result in decreased grip strength and/or impaired ability to hold objects. The objective of this study was to design and test the functioning of a fivedigit ...

Gated Recurrent Neural Networks for EMG-Based Hand Gesture Classification. A Comparative Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Electromyographic activities (EMG) generated during contraction of upper limb muscles can be mapped to distinct hand gestures and movements, posing them as a promising modality for prosthetic and cybernetic applications. This paper presents a compara...
