BACKGROUND: The impact of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) on traumatic rib fractures remains unknown. We combined computed tomography (CT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to measure BMD and explore its impact on traumatic rib fractures and thei...
Chest radiography is one of the most widely used diagnostic methods in hospitals, but it is difficult to read clearly because several human organ tissues and bones overlap. Therefore, various image processing and rib segmentation methods have been pr...
Computer vision system (CVSs) are effective tools that enable large-scale phenotyping with a low-cost and non-invasive method, which avoids animal stress. Economically important traits, such as rib and loin yield, are difficult to measure; therefore,...
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome and chest wall lesions are burgeoning topics on thoracic surgery. Following publication of the Society of Vascular Surgeons expert statement in 2016, the diagnosis and...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance and robustness of a deep learning-based automatic fresh rib fracture detection and positioning system (FRF-DPS).
Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome is a novel approach that continues to increase in popularity due to advantages compared with traditional open first rib resection. Following publication of the Society...

Rib cross-sectional shapes (characterized by the outer contour and cortical bone thickness) affect the rib mechanical response under impact loading, thereby influence the rib injury pattern and risk. A statistical description of the rib shapes or the...
In tool mark identification, there is still a lack of characteristics and methodologies standardization used to analyze and describe sharp force trauma marks on skeletal remains. This study presents a classification method for cut marks on human bone...
