Robotics applied to cranial surgery is a fast-moving and fascinating field, which is transforming the practice of neurosurgery. With exponential increases in computing power, improvements in connectivity, artificial intelligence, and enhanced precisi...
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of the new man-machine interactive robotic system in model experiment. The implantation of the 8 to 10 bone screws over the skull model obtained from real patient's digital imaging and communications ...
THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to investigate the efficiency of decoding teleradiological studies using an algorithm based on the use of convolutional neural networks - a simple convolutional architecture, as well as an extended U-Net architecture.
Several neuroimaging processing applications consider skull stripping as a crucial pre-processing step. Due to complex anatomical brain structure and intensity variations in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an appropriate skull stripping is an...
We could study Cone Beam documents of patients consulting in ORL with standard Angle Class I occlusion (45 ND), patients consulting in orthodontics with an orthodontic Class II (51 APNS) and patients with a surgical Class II (83 APS). The used 3D bio...
Machine learning (ML) revolves around the concept of using experience to teach computer-based programs to reliably perform specific tasks. Healthcare setting is an ideal environment for adaptation of ML applications given the multiple specific tasks ...
