A Novel Extension to Fuzzy Connectivity for Body Composition Analysis: Applications in Thigh, Brain, and Whole Body Tissue Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the non-invasive modality of choice for body tissue composition analysis due to its excellent soft-tissue contrast and lack of ionizing radiation. However, quantification of body composition requires an accurate se...

Use the force: deformation correction in robotic 3D ultrasound.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Ultrasound acquisitions are typically affected by deformations due to the pressure applied onto the contact surface. While a certain amount of pressure is necessary to ensure good acoustic coupling and visibility of the anatomy under examina...

Performance of thigh-mounted triaxial accelerometer algorithms in objective quantification of sedentary behaviour and physical activity in older adults.

PloS one
Accurate monitoring of sedentary behaviour and physical activity is key to investigate their exact role in healthy ageing. To date, accelerometers using cut-off point models are most preferred for this, however, machine learning seems a highly promis...

Automated assessment of thigh composition using machine learning for Dixon magnetic resonance images.

Magma (New York, N.Y.)
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a machine learning based automated segmentation method that jointly analyzes the four contrasts provided by Dixon MRI technique for improved thigh composition segmentation accuracy.

Comparison of Efficacy Between Novel Robot-Assisted Laser Hair Removal and Physician-Directed Hair Removal.

Photomedicine and laser surgery
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the number of laser irradiation sessions, process duration, and hair removal rate required for robot-assisted automatic versus physician-directed laser hair removal.

A study of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy for leg lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to discuss the mode of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy (CPT) for lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

Individual thigh muscle and proximal femoral features predict displacement in femoral neck Fractures: An AI-driven CT analysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
INTRODUCTION: Hip fractures, particularly among the elderly, impose a significant public health burden due to increased morbidity and mortality. Femoral neck fractures, commonly resulting from low-energy falls, can lead to severe complications such a...

Quantification of training-induced alterations in body composition via automated machine learning analysis of MRI images in the thigh region: A pilot study in young females.

Physiological reports
The maintenance of an appropriate ratio of body fat to muscle mass is essential for the preservation of health and performance, as excessive body fat is associated with an increased risk of various diseases. Accurate body composition assessment requi...

Unsupervised Machine Learning in Countermovement Jump and Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Performance Produces Distinct Combat and Physical Fitness Clusters in Male and Female U.S. Marine Corps Recruits.

Military medicine
INTRODUCTION: Several challenges face the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and other services in their efforts to design recruit training to augment warfighter mobility and resilience in both male and female recruits as part of an integrated model. Strength ...

Improvements of mid-thigh circumferences following robotic rehabilitation in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy
INTRODUCTION: Stroke has emerged as the leading cause of disability globally. The provision of long-term rehabilitation to stroke survivors poses a health care burden to many countries. Robotic devices have created a major turning point in stroke reh...
