Markerless surgical robotic system for intracerebral hemorrhage surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Conventional intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) surgery uses a stereotactic frame to access an intracerebral hematoma. Using a stereotactic frame for ICH surgery requires a long preparation time. In order to resolve this problem, we propose a markerless ...

Unsupervised detection of liver lesions in CT images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This work presents an automatic approach for liver lesions detection in CT images. In this approach, liver is first segmented using fast and reliable semi-automatic technique. After liver segmentation, lesion detection is formulated as an unsupervise...

On the Automated Segmentation of Epicardial and Mediastinal Cardiac Adipose Tissues Using Classification Algorithms.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The quantification of fat depots on the surroundings of the heart is an accurate procedure for evaluating health risk factors correlated with several diseases. However, this type of evaluation is not widely employed in clinical practice due to the re...

Sampling from Determinantal Point Processes for Scalable Manifold Learning.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
High computational costs of manifold learning prohibit its application for large datasets. A common strategy to overcome this problem is to perform dimensionality reduction on selected landmarks and to successively embed the entire dataset with the N...

Segmenting the Brain Surface from CT Images with Artifacts Using Dictionary Learning for Non-rigid MR-CT Registration.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
This paper presents a dictionary learning-based method to segment the brain surface in post-surgical CT images of epilepsy patients following surgical implantation of electrodes. Using the electrodes identified in the post-implantation CT, surgeons r...

Multi-scale Convolutional Neural Networks for Lung Nodule Classification.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
We investigate the problem of diagnostic lung nodule classification using thoracic Computed Tomography (CT) screening. Unlike traditional studies primarily relying on nodule segmentation for regional analysis, we tackle a more challenging problem on ...

Bodypart Recognition Using Multi-stage Deep Learning.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
Automatic medical image analysis systems often start from identifying the human body part contained in the image; Specifically, given a transversal slice, it is important to know which body part it comes from, namely "slice-based bodypart recognition...

Cases from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Case #26. A fighter pilot with a single left frontal lobe infarction and probable mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular arrhythmias.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
A fighter pilot with a single left frontal lobe infarction and probable mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular arrhythmias is presented. He was found unfit for flying duties as a fighter pilot, but because of his experience and expertise he was r...
