An Augmented Reality Haptic Training Simulator for Spinal Needle Procedures
Sutherland, Colin James (2011-11-29)Medical simulators have become commonly used to teach new procedures to medical students and clinicians. Their accessibility allows trainees to perform training whenever they desire, and their flexibility allows for various ... -
Biomechanically Constrained Groupwise Statistical Shape Model to Ultrasound Registration of the Lumbar Spine
Khallaghi, Siavash (2010-09-28)Spinal needle injections for back pain management are frequently carried out in hospitals and radiological clinics. Currently, these procedures are performed under fluoroscopy or CT guidance in specialized interventional ... -
Detection and Grading of Prostate Cancer in Temporal Enhanced Ultrasound using Convolutional Neural Networks
Ghavidel, SaharProstate cancer is the most common non-dermatological cancer amongst men in the developed world. The current definitive diagnosis is core needle biopsy guided by transrectal ultrasound. However, this method suffers from ... -
High Frequency Ultrasound RF Time Series Analysis for Tissue Characterization
Najafi Yazdi, Mohsen (2012-03-29)Ultrasound-based tissue characterization has been an active field of cancer detection in the past decades. The main concept behind various techniques is that the returning ultrasound echoes carry tissue-dependent information ... -
Improvement of Speckle-Tracked Freehand 3-D Ultrasound Through the Use of Sensor Fusion
Lang, Andrew (2009-10-20)Freehand 3-D ultrasound (US) using a 2-D US probe has the advantage over conventional 3-D probes of being able to collect arbitrary 3-D volumes at a lower cost. Traditionally, generating a volume requires external tracking ... -
Localization of Human Pelvis Anatomical Coordinate System Using Ultrasound Registration to Statistical Shape Model
Ghanavati, Sahar (2010-08-24)Total Hip Replacement (THR) has become a common surgical procedure in recent years, due to the increase in the aging population with hip osteoarthritis. Identifying the proper orientation of the pelvis is a critical step ... -
Novel Methods in SEMG-Force Estimation
Hashemi, Javad (2013-08-29)An accurate determination of muscle force is desired in many applications in different fields such as ergonomics, sports medicine, prosthetics, human-robot interaction and medical rehabilitation. Since individual muscle ... -
Ultrasound-based Tissue Typing Using RF Time Series: Clinical Feasibility Studies and Applications
Imani, Farhad (2014-08-07)Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy, and the second leading cancer-related cause of death in North American men. If diagnosed early, PCa can be managed with a 5-year relative survival rate above ...
