Iterative Low-Dose CT Reconstruction With Priors Trained by Artificial Neural Network.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Dose reduction in computed tomography (CT) is essential for decreasing radiation risk in clinical applications. Iterative reconstruction algorithms are one of the most promising way to compensate for the increased noise due to reduction of photon flu...

Performance comparison between wrist and chest actigraphy in combination with heart rate variability for sleep classification.

Computers in biology and medicine
The concurrent usage of actigraphy and heart rate variability (HRV) for sleep efficiency quantification is still matter of investigation. This study compared chest (CACT) and wrist (WACT) actigraphy (actigraphs positioned on chest and wrist, respecti...

Osteopathic manual therapy in heart failure patients: A randomized clinical trial.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
BACKGROUND: Heart Failure (HF) patients usually present with increased arterial resistance and reduced blood pressure (BP) leading to an impaired functional capacity. Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) focused on myofascial release techniques (MRT) and...

Impact of robotics and a suspended lead suit on physician radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND: Reports of left-sided brain malignancies among interventional cardiologists have heightened concerns regarding physician radiation exposure. This study evaluated the impact of a suspended lead suit and robotic system on physician radiatio...

Automatic segmentation of airway tree based on local intensity filter and machine learning technique in 3D chest CT volume.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Airway segmentation plays an important role in analyzing chest computed tomography (CT) volumes for computerized lung cancer detection, emphysema diagnosis and pre- and intra-operative bronchoscope navigation. However, obtaining a complete 3...

Robot-assisted walking with the Lokomat: the influence of different levels of guidance force on thorax and pelvis kinematics.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Little attention has been devoted to the thorax and pelvis movements during gait. The aim of this study is to compare differences in the thorax and pelvis kinematics during unassisted walking on a treadmill and during walking with robot a...

Development of system using beam's eye view images to measure respiratory motion tracking errors in image-guided robotic radiosurgery system.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
The accuracy of the CyberKnife Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System (SRTS) is considered to be patient-dependent because the SRTS relies on an individual correlation between the internal tumor position (ITP) and the external marker position (EMP), a...

Attention-Aware Non-Rigid Image Registration for Accelerated MR Imaging.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Accurate motion estimation at high acceleration factors enables rapid motion-compensated reconstruction in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) without compromising the diagnostic image quality. In this work, we introduce an attention-aware deep learning...

[Research of electrical impedance tomography based on multilayer artificial neural network optimized by Hadamard product for human-chest models].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-radiation, non-invasive visual diagnostic technique. In order to improve the imaging resolution and the removing artifacts capability of the reconstruction algorithms for electrical impedance imaging in ...
