Accurate medical image segmentation is essential for diagnosis, surgical planning and many other applications. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the state-of-the-art automatic segmentation methods. However, fully automatic results may ...
OBJECTIVE: Micro-tissue engineered neural networks (micro-TENNs) are anatomically-inspired constructs designed to structurally and functionally emulate white matter pathways in the brain. These 3D neural networks feature long axonal tracts spanning d...

BACKGROUND: Central nervous system anomalies represent a wide range of congenital birth defects, with an incidence of approximately 1% of all births. They are currently diagnosed using ultrasound evaluation. However, there is strong need for a more a...
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy associated disease. It is characterized by high blood pressure and symptoms that are indicative of damage to other organ systems, most often involving the liver and kidneys. If left untreated, the condition could be fatal ...
Physical simulation systems are commonly used in training of midwifery and obstetrics students, but none of these systems offers a dynamic compliance aspect that would make them more truly representative of cervix ripening. In this study, we introduc...
Prenatal screening generates a great amount of data that is used for predicting risk of various disorders. Prenatal risk assessment is based on multiple clinical variables and overall performance is defined by how well the risk algorithm is optimized...
Three-dimensional (3D) fetal neurosonography is used clinically to detect cerebral abnormalities and to assess growth in the developing brain. However, manual identification of key brain structures in 3D ultrasound images requires expertise to perfor...
