To enhance the motion flexibility and environmental adaptability of underwater robots, this study proposes a novel design, Seeker-M, inspired by the locomotion mechanism of the mantis shrimp. The robot imitates the mantis shrimp's multi-pleopod swimm...
This study leveraged machine learning (ML) models to explore the relationship between three-dimensional (3D) spinal alignment parameters and clinical outcomes in patients suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). A cohort of 303 FMS patients, diagn...
Predicting vertebral height is complex due to individual factors. AI-based medical imaging analysis offers new opportunities for vertebral assessment. Thereby, these novel methods may contribute to sex-adapted nomograms and vertebral height predictio...
Segmenting the spine from CT images is crucial for diagnosing and treating spine-related conditions but remains challenging due to the spine's complex anatomy and imaging artifacts. This study introduces a novel encoder-decoder-based deep learning ap...
Osteoporosis, a bone disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) resulting in decreased mechanical strength and an increased fracture risk, remains poorly understood in children. Herein, we developed/validated a deep learning-based ...

Accurate segmentation of three-dimensional (3D) clinical medical images is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases. However, the complexity of spinal anatomy and the inherent uncertainties of current imaging technologies pose sign...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional lateral and torsional deformity of the spine, affecting up to 5% of the population. Traditional scoliosis screening methods exhibit limited accuracy, leading to unnecessary referrals and ex...
OBJECTIVE: Scoliosis, a 3-D spinal deformity, requires early detection and intervention. Ultrasound curve angle (UCA) measurement using ultrasound images has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool. However, calculating the UCA directly from ultrasoun...
