Concentric tube robot (CTR) has gradually attracted the attention of researchers on the basis of its small size and curved shape control ability. However, most of current experimental prototypes of CTR are single-arm structure, which can only carry o...
PURPOSE: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers advantages over conventional fan-beam CT in that it requires a shorter time and less exposure to obtain images. However, CBCT images suffer from low soft-tissue contrast, noise, and artifacts compa...
OBJECTIVE: CT is the mainstay imaging modality for assessing change in ventricular volume in patients with ventricular shunts or external ventricular drains (EVDs). We evaluated the performance of a novel fully automated CT registration and subtracti...
IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and its early detection could lead to significant improvements in outcomes through the appropriate prescription of anticoagulation medication. Although a variety of...
IMPORTANCE: Accurate risk stratification of patients with heart failure (HF) is critical to deploy targeted interventions aimed at improving patients' quality of life and outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The majority of stroke survivors experiences significant hand impairments, as weakness and spasticity, with a severe impact on the activity of daily living. To objectively evaluate hand deficits, quantitative measures are needed. The aim ...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, biomedical ontologies have become important for describing existing biological knowledge in the form of knowledge graphs. Data mining approaches that work with knowledge graphs have been proposed, but they are based on ve...
IMPORTANCE: Social and economic costs of depression are exacerbated by prolonged periods spent identifying treatments that would be effective for a particular patient. Thus, a tool that reliably predicts an individual patient's response to treatment ...
BACKGROUND: Timely, precise, and localized surveillance of nonfatal events is needed to improve response and prevention of opioid-related problems in an evolving opioid crisis in the United States. Records of naloxone administration found in prehospi...
Images are powerful tools with which to convey human emotions, with different images stimulating diverse emotions. Numerous factors affect the emotions stimulated by the image, and many researchers have previously focused on low-level features such a...
