PURPOSE: Body composition is known to be associated with many diseases including diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we developed a fully automatic body tissue decomposition procedure to segment three major compartments tha...
OBJECTIVE: To develop machine learning (ML) models capable of predicting ICU admission and extended length of stay (LOS) after torso (chest, abdomen, or pelvis) trauma, by using clinical and/or imaging data.
Challenging trunk neuromuscular control maximally using a seated balancing task is useful for unmasking impairments that may go unnoticed with traditional postural sway measures and appears to be safe to assess in healthy individuals. This study inve...
The elephant proboscis (trunk), which functions as a muscular hydrostat with a virtually infinite number of degrees of freedom, is a spectacular organ for delicate to heavy object manipulation as well as social and sensory functions. Using high-resol...

BACKGROUND: Retained surgical items are a serious human error. Surgical sponges account for 70% of retained surgical items. To prevent retained surgical sponges, it is important to establish a system that can identify errors and avoid the occurrence ...
PURPOSE: We compare the performance of three commonly used MRI-guided attenuation correction approaches in torso PET/MRI, namely segmentation-, atlas-, and deep learning-based algorithms.

Performance of trunk rehabilitation exercises while sitting on movable surfaces with feet on the ground can increase trunk and leg muscle activations, and constraining the feet to move with the seat isolates control of the trunk. However, there are n...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a combined robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with standard physiotherapy (PT) on trunk control and posture in non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). This nonrandomized, controll...

Seated postural limit defines the boundary of a region such that for any excursions made outside this boundary a subject cannot return the trunk to the neutral position without additional external support. The seated postural limits can be used as a ...
