Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) becomes a standard procedure in surgical operations and pain management, offers the advantages of nerve localization, and provides region of interest anatomical structure visualization. Nerve tracking pres...
During the last few decades, substantial scientific and technological efforts have been focused on the development of neuroprostheses. The major emphasis has been on techniques for connecting the human nervous system with a robotic prosthesis via nat...
The development of realistic neuroanatomical models of peripheral nerves for simulation purposes requires the reconstruction of the morphology of the myelinated fibres in the nerve, including their nodes of Ranvier. Currently, this information has to...
MR neurography sequences provide excellent nerve-to-background soft tissue contrast, whereas a zero echo time (ZTE) MRI sequence provides cortical bone contrast. By demonstrating the spatial relationship between nerves and bones, a combination of ren...
Prosthetic rehabilitation after amputation poses significant challenges, often due to functional limitations, residual limb pain (RLP), and phantom limb pain (PLP). These issues not only affect physical health but also mental well-being and quality o...
