We focus on the practical challenge of segmenting new retinal fundus images that are dissimilar to existing well-annotated data sets. It is addressed in this paper by a supervised learning pipeline, with its core being the construction of a synthetic...
Dubiety exists over whether clinical symptoms of schizophrenia can be distinguished from affective psychosis, the assumption being that absence of a "point of rarity" indicates lack of nosological distinction, based on prior group-level analyses. Adv...
Continued technological progress in robotic systems has led to more applications where robots and humans operate in close proximity and even physical contact in some cases. Soft robots, which are made of highly compliant and deformable materials, pro...

Current tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system cannot provide adequate information for prediction of prognosis and chemotherapeutic benefits. We constructed a classifier to predict prognosis and identify a subset of patients who can benefit from...
BACKGROUND: Machine-learning can elucidate complex relationships/provide insight to important variables for large datasets. This study aimed to develop an accurate model to predict neonatal surgical site infections (SSI) using different statistical m...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical approaches still provide limited exposure. Access to the L2-L5 intervertebral discs during a single procedure is challenging and often requires repositioning of the patient and adopting an alternative approach.
BACKGROUND: Manual contouring remains the most laborious task in radiation therapy planning and is a major barrier to implementing routine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy (MR-ART). To address this, we propose a new ...
The study of electroencephalography (EEG) signals is not a new topic. However, the analysis of human emotions upon exposure to music considered as important direction. Although distributed in various academic databases, research on this concept is li...
Assistive technologies help all persons with disabilities to improve their accessibility in all aspects of their life. The AIDE European project contributes to the improvement of current assistive technologies by developing and testing a modular and ...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of k-means clustering to efficiently reduce the variety of materials needed in Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation. A numerical phantom with 31 human tissues surrounded by water is created. K-me...
