Highly Responsive Robotic Prosthetic Hand Control Considering Electrodynamic Delay.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As robots become increasingly integrated into human society, the importance of human-machine interfaces continues to grow. This study proposes a faster and more accurate control system for myoelectric prostheses by considering the Electromechanical D...

Advancements in supervised deep learning for metal artifact reduction in computed tomography: A systematic review.

European journal of radiology
BACKGROUND: Metallic artefacts caused by metal implants, are a common problem in computed tomography (CT) imaging, degrading image quality and diagnostic accuracy. With advancements in artificial intelligence, novel deep learning (DL)-based metal art...

Skin-inspired, sensory robots for electronic implants.

Nature communications
Drawing inspiration from cohesive integration of skeletal muscles and sensory skins in vertebrate animals, we present a design strategy of soft robots, primarily consisting of an electronic skin (e-skin) and an artificial muscle. These robots integra...

Back to the Roots: Reconstructing Large and Complex Cranial Defects using an Image-based Statistical Shape Model.

Journal of medical systems
Designing implants for large and complex cranial defects is a challenging task, even for professional designers. Current efforts on automating the design process focused mainly on convolutional neural networks (CNN), which have produced state-of-the-...

Graph-Driven Simultaneous and Proportional Estimation of Wrist Angle and Grasp Force via High-Density EMG.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Myoelectric prostheses are generally unable to accurately control the position and force simultaneously, prohibiting natural and intuitive human-machine interaction. This issue is attributed to the limitations of myoelectric interfaces in effectively...

Optimal Implant Sizing Using Machine Learning Is Associated With Increased Range of Motion After Cervical Disk Arthroplasty.

Neurosurgery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cervical disk arthroplasty (CDA) offers the advantage of motion preservation in the treatment of focal cervical pathology. At present, implant sizing is performed using subjective tactile feedback and imaging of trial cages...

Monitoring of Remotely Reprogrammable Implantable Loop Recorders With Algorithms to Reduce False-Positive Alerts.

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are increasingly placed for arrhythmia detection. However, historically, ≈75% of ILR alerts are false positives, requiring significant time and effort for adjudication. The LINQII and LUX-Dx are remotely ...

A macro-micro FE and ANN framework to assess site-specific bone ingrowth around the porous beaded-coated implant: an example with BOX® tibial implant for total ankle replacement.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The use of mechanoregulatory schemes based on finite element (FE) analysis for the evaluation of bone ingrowth around porous surfaces is a viable approach but requires significant computational time and effort. The aim of this study is to develop a c...

Resource-Efficient Neural Network Architectures for Classifying Nerve Cuff Recordings on Implantable Devices.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
BACKGROUND: Closed-loop functional electrical stimulation can use recorded nerve signals to create implantable systems that make decisions regarding nerve stimulation in real-time. Previous work demonstrated convolutional neural network (CNN) discrim...

Quantitative noninvasive measurement of cerebrospinal fluid flow in shunted hydrocephalus.

Journal of neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Standard MRI protocols lack a quantitative sequence that can be used to evaluate shunt-treated patients with a history of hydrocephalus. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI), a quantitative ...
