Toward Standardizing the Classification of Robotic Gait Rehabilitation Systems.

IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
With the existence of numerous rehabilitation systems, classification and comparison becomes difficult, especially due to the many factors involved. Moreover, most current reviews are descriptive and do not provide systematic methods for the visual c...

Force Analysis and Evaluation of a Pelvic Support Walking Robot with Joint Compliance.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The force analysis of a pelvic support walking robot with joint compliance is discussed in this paper. During gait training, pelvic motions of hemiplegic patients may be excessively large or out of control; however, restriction of pelvic motions is n...

CT sinogram-consistency learning for metal-induced beam hardening correction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This paper proposes a sinogram-consistency learning method to deal with beam hardening-related artifacts in polychromatic computerized tomography (CT). The presence of highly attenuating materials in the scan field causes an inconsistent sin...

Assessment of specific versus combined purpose knowledge based models in prostate radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Knowledge-based planning (KBP) can be used to improve plan quality, planning speed, and reduce the inter-patient plan variability. KPB may also identify and reduce systematic variations in VMAT plans, something very important in multi-institutional c...

Pelvic Organ Segmentation Using Distinctive Curve Guided Fully Convolutional Networks.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Accurate segmentation of pelvic organs (i.e., prostate, bladder, and rectum) from CT image is crucial for effective prostate cancer radiotherapy. However, it is a challenging task due to: 1) low soft tissue contrast in CT images and 2) large shape an...

Medical Image Synthesis with Deep Convolutional Adversarial Networks.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Medical imaging plays a critical role in various clinical applications. However, due to multiple considerations such as cost and radiation dose, the acquisition of certain image modalities may be limited. Thus, medical image synthesis can be of great...

Flexible robotics in pelvic disease: does the catheter increase applicability of embolic therapy?

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
Interventional radiology procedures, equipment, and techniques as well as image guidance have developed dramatically over the last few decades. The evidence for minimally invasive interventions in vascular and oncology fields is rapidly growing and s...

Zero-Echo-Time and Dixon Deep Pseudo-CT (ZeDD CT): Direct Generation of Pseudo-CT Images for Pelvic PET/MRI Attenuation Correction Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Multiparametric MRI.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Accurate quantification of uptake on PET images depends on accurate attenuation correction in reconstruction. Current MR-based attenuation correction methods for body PET use a fat and water map derived from a 2-echo Dixon MRI sequence in which bone ...
