PURPOSE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a potential noninvasive thermal ablation method for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Dual-mode ultrasound arrays (DMUA) offer the possibility of simultaneous imaging and treatment. In th...
The improvement of the micromachined ultrasound transducer based (CMUT) biosensor fabrication technology and signal processing, which led to higher signal to noise ratio is reported. The biosensor contains interdigitally arranged CMUT structure with ...

Sleep posture has been shown to be important in monitoring health conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), sleep apnea, pressure ulcers, and even blood pressure abnormalities. In this paper, we investigate the use of four hydraulic bed tran...
Despite having notable advantages over established machine learning methods for time series analysis, reservoir computing methods, such as echo state networks (ESNs), have yet to be widely used for practical data mining applications. In this paper, w...
Thermal dose is an important clinical efficacy index for hyperthermia cancer treatment. This paper presents a new direct radial basis function (RBF) neural network controller for high-temperature hyperthermia thermal dose during the therapeutic proce...
