Skull-stripping, an important pre-processing step in neuroimage computing, involves the automated removal of non-brain anatomy (such as the skull, eyes, and ears) from brain images to facilitate brain segmentation and analysis. Manual segmentation is...
It is easy to cause thermal damage to the bone tissue when the surgical robot performs skull drilling to remove bone flaps, due to the large diameter of the drill bit, the large heat-generating area, and the long drilling time. Therefore, in order to...

BACKGROUND: Skull radiography, an assessment method for initial diagnosis and post-operative follow-up, requires substantial retaking of various types of radiographs. During retaking, a radiologic technologist estimates a patient's rotation angle fro...
PURPOSE: Accurate positioning is essential for radiography, and it is especially important to maintain image reproducibility in follow-up observations. The decision on re-taking radiographs is entrusting to the individual radiological technologist. T...
