Feature description with SIFT, SURF, BRIEF, BRISK, or FREAK? A general question answered for bone age assessment.

Computers in biology and medicine
Solving problems in medical image processing is either generic (being applicable to many problems) or specific (optimized for a certain task). For example, bone age assessment (BAA) on hand radiographs is a frequent but cumbersome task for radiologis...

Do infants perceive the social robot Keepon as a communicative partner?

Infant behavior & development
This study investigates if infants perceive an unfamiliar agent, such as the robot Keepon, as a social agent after observing an interaction between the robot and a human adult. 23 infants, aged 9-17 month, were exposed, in a first phase, to either a ...

A Bayesian Developmental Approach to Robotic Goal-Based Imitation Learning.

PloS one
A fundamental challenge in robotics today is building robots that can learn new skills by observing humans and imitating human actions. We propose a new Bayesian approach to robotic learning by imitation inspired by the developmental hypothesis that ...

Yolk sac tumor of the external auditory canal: a case report and literature review.

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology
We report one case of yolk sac tumor of the ear and review the literature. The patient was a 9-month boy who scratched his right ear repeatedly one month ago. Computed tomography scan showed an irregular elongated mass image measuring 42×16 mm was fo...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic management of duplex renal anomaly: Comparison of surgical outcomes to traditional pure laparoscopic and open surgery.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Surgical management of duplex renal anomaly (DRA) is complex because of individual anatomic variation, competing priorities of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and ureteral obstruction present in the same child, the varied differential funct...

Is peri-operative urethral catheter drainage enough? The case for stentless pediatric robotic pyeloplasty.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: The necessity for urinary diversion with trans-anastomotic ureteral stenting during pyeloplasty is currently under debate. Performing a stentless repair could eliminate stent-related morbidity, including: stent migration, urinary tract in...

Dealing with inter-expert variability in retinopathy of prematurity: A machine learning approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Understanding the causes of disagreement among experts in clinical decision making has been a challenge for decades. In particular, a high amount of variability exists in diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which ...

A novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological heart murmurs.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...

Mortality risk prediction in burn injury: Comparison of logistic regression with machine learning approaches.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
INTRODUCTION: Predicting mortality from burn injury has traditionally employed logistic regression models. Alternative machine learning methods have been introduced in some areas of clinical prediction as the necessary software and computational faci...
