Fusing information from multiple 2D depth cameras for 3D human pose estimation in the operating room.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: For many years, deep convolutional neural networks have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide variety of computer vision tasks. 3D human pose estimation makes no exception and results on public benchmarks are impressive. However, speci...

Incorporating imaging information from deep neural network layers into image guided radiation therapy (IGRT).

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate a novel markerless prostate localization strategy using a pre-trained deep learning model to interpret routine projection kilovoltage (kV) X-ray images in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT).

Effect of verticalization with Erigo® in the acute rehabilitation of severe acquired brain injury.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
The recovery of the orthostatism after a severe acquired brain injury (sABI) is an essential objective to pursue in order to avoid the occurrence of secondary complications resulting from prolonged immobilization to which the patient is subjected dur...

A Novel CNN-Based Framework for Classification of Signal Quality and Sleep Position from a Capacitive ECG Measurement.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The further exploration of the capacitive ECG (cECG) is hindered by frequent fluctuations in signal quality from body movement and changes in sleep position. The processing framework must be fundamentally adapted to make full use of this signal. Ther...

Optimization based trajectory planning for real-time 6DoF robotic patient motion compensation systems.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Robotic stabilization of a therapeutic radiation beam with respect to a dynamically moving tumor target can be accomplished either by moving the radiation source, the patient, or both. As the treatment beam is on during this process, the pri...

Patient 3D body pose estimation from pressure imaging.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In-bed motion monitoring has become of great interest for a variety of clinical applications. Image-based approaches could be seen as a natural non-intrusive approach for this purpose; however, video devices require special challenging setti...

A study of positioning orientation effect on segmentation accuracy using convolutional neural networks for rectal cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have greatly improved medical image segmentation. A robust model requires training data can represent the entire dataset. One of the differing characteristics comes from variability in patient positioning ...

High-precision quality assurance of robotic couches with six degrees of freedom.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
A robotic couch capable of six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) of motion was introduced for state-of-the-art radiation therapy. Patient treatment requires precise quality assurance (QA) of 6-DoF. Unfortunately, conventional methods do not provide the requ...

A new approach for safe planning transfer using semi-automatically adjustable instrument guides.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Accurate planning transfer is a prerequisite for successful operative care. For different applications, diverse computer-assisted systems have been developed and clinically evaluated. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a new mod...
