With the popularization of biomechanical simulation technology, aiming at the rehabilitation of ankle joint injury, we imported simplified model of proposed 2-UPS/RR (two identical unconstraint kinematic branches with a universal-prismatic-spherical ...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia increases with age and is associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with cancer. By using a deep learning-based segmentation approach, clinical computed tomography (CT) images of the abdomen of patients with newly diag...
Shortage of labor and increased work of young people are causing problems in terms of care and welfare of a growing proportion of elderly people. This is a looming social problem because people of advanced ages are increasing. Necessary in the fields...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of an automatic deep learning (DL) method for segmentation of T2 maps in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) against healthy controls, and also the association of quantitative T2 values in patien...

PURPOSE: Muscle anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) can be assessed using ultrasound and images are usually evaluated manually. Here, we present DeepACSA, a deep learning approach to automatically segment ACSA in panoramic ultrasound images of the...
Biomimetic machines able to integrate with natural and social environments will find ubiquitous applications, from biodiversity conservation to elderly daily care. Although artificial actuators have reached the contraction performances of muscles, th...
Deep learning on a limited number of labels/annotations is a challenging task for medical imaging analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel self-training segmentation pipeline (Self-Seg in short) for segmenting skeletal muscle in CT images. Self-Se...
