A node-based informed modularity strategy to identify organizational modules in anatomical networks.

Biology open
The study of morphological modularity using anatomical networks is growing in recent years. A common strategy to find the best network partition uses community detection algorithms that optimize the modularity Q function. Because anatomical networks ...

Robot-Automated Cartilage Contouring for Complex Ear Reconstruction: A Cadaveric Study.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Auricular reconstruction requiring manual contouring of costal cartilage is complex and time consuming, which could be facilitated by a robot in a fast and precise manner. This feasibility study evaluates the accuracy and speed...

Machine learning methods to support personalized neuromusculoskeletal modelling.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
Many biomedical, orthopaedic, and industrial applications are emerging that will benefit from personalized neuromusculoskeletal models. Applications include refined diagnostics, prediction of treatment trajectories for neuromusculoskeletal diseases, ...

Automated labeling of the airway tree in terms of lobes based on deep learning of bifurcation point detection.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
This paper presents an automatic lobe-based labeling of airway tree method, which can detect the bifurcation points for reconstructing and labeling the airway tree from a computed tomography image. A deep learning-based network structure is designed ...

Leveraging vision and kinematics data to improve realism of biomechanic soft tissue simulation for robotic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical simulations play an increasingly important role in surgeon education and developing algorithms that enable robots to perform surgical subtasks. To model anatomy, finite element method (FEM) simulations have been held as the gold sta...

Incorporating prior shape knowledge via data-driven loss model to improve 3D liver segmentation in deep CNNs.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have obtained enormous success in liver segmentation. However, there are several challenges, including low-contrast images, and large variations in the shape, and appearance of the liver. Incorporating pr...

Computational modeling of the effects of EEG volume conduction on functional connectivity metrics. Application to Alzheimer's disease continuum.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electroencephalographic (EEG) volume conduction in different measures of functional connectivity and to characterize the EEG coupling alterations at the different stages of dementia due t...

Interfacing Soft and Hard: A Spring Reinforced Actuator.

Soft robotics
Muscular hydrostats have long been a source of inspiration for soft robotic designs. With their inherent compliance, they excel in unpredictable environments and can gently manipulate objects with ease. However, their performance lacks where high for...

Simplifying models and estimating grasp performance for comparing dynamic hand orthosis concepts.

PloS one
While designing a dynamic hand orthosis to assist during activities of daily living, the designer has to know whether a concept will have sufficient grasp performance to support these activities. This is often estimated by measuring the interaction f...

Novel evaluation of surgical activity recognition models using task-based efficiency metrics.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical task-based metrics (rather than entire procedure metrics) can be used to improve surgeon training and, ultimately, patient care through focused training interventions. Machine learning models to automatically recognize individual ta...
