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...
BACKGROUND: Craniofacial computed tomography (CT) is the diagnostic investigation of choice for craniosynostosis, but high radiation dose remains a concern.

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of complex unicortical calvarial harvesting by using the Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO® primo+). A cadaveric study was performed with a progressive complexity of the bone harvest...
Identification of unknown cadavers is an important task for forensic scientists. Forensic scientists attempt to identify skeletal remains based on factors including age, sex, and dental treatment remains. Forensic scientists commonly consider skull o...
Traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) methods rely on dense tensors, which makes them suboptimal for spatially sparse data. In this paper, we propose a CNN model based on sparse tensors for efficient processing of high-resolution shapes repr...

Phase aberration caused by human skulls severely degrades the quality of transcranial ultrasound images, posing a major challenge in the practical application of transcranial ultrasound techniques in adults. Aberration can be corrected if the skull p...
Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) can map microvessels at a resolution of a few micrometers ( [Formula: see text]). Transcranial ULM remains challenging in presence of aberrations caused by the skull, which lead to localization errors. Herein,...
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-...
BACKGROUND: Craniosynostosis, a congenital condition characterized by the premature fusion of cranial sutures, necessitates objective methods for evaluating cranial morphology to enhance patient treatment. Current subjective assessments often lead to...
