The positioning error in radiotherapy is one of the most important factors that influence the location precision of the tumor. Based on the CT-on-rails technology, this paper describes the research on measuring the positioning error in radiotherapy by comparing the planning CT images with the treatment CT images using 3-dimension (3D) methods. It can help doctors to measure positioning errors more accurately than 2D methods. It also supports the powerful 3D interaction such as drag-dropping, rotating and picking-up the object, so that doctors can visualize and measure the positioning errors intuitively.

A real-time approach for surgical activity recognition and prediction based on transformer models in robot-assisted surgery.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

January 2025

Advanced Medical Devices Laboratory, Kyushu University, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka, 819-0382, Japan.

Purpose: This paper presents a deep learning approach to recognize and predict surgical activity in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS). Our primary objective is to deploy the developed model for implementing a real-time surgical risk monitoring system within the realm of RAMIS.

Methods: We propose a modified Transformer model with the architecture comprising no positional encoding, 5 fully connected layers, 1 encoder, and 3 decoders.

The rise in minimally invasive procedures has created a demand for efficient and reliable planning software to predict intra- and post-operative outcomes. Surrogate modelling has shown promise, but challenges remain, particularly in cardiovascular applications, due to the complexity of parametrising anatomical structures and the need for large training datasets. This study aims to apply statistical shape modelling and machine learning for predicting stent deployment in real time using patient-specific models.

Spectral Content Effects Study in Non-Contact Resonance Ultrasound Spectroscopy.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Electronics Engineering, Kaunas University of Technology, 51368 Kaunas, Lithuania.

The application of spread-spectrum signals (arbitrary pulse width and position (APWP) sequences) in air-coupled resonant ultrasound spectroscopy is studied. It was hypothesized that spread-spectrum signal optimization should be based on te signal to noise ratio (SNR). Six APWP signal optimization criteria were proposed for this purpose.

Validity and Reliability of Kinovea for Pelvic Kinematic Measurement in Standing Position and in Sitting Position with 45° of Hip Flexion.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

Unidad de Investigación en Fisioterapia, Spin off Centro Clínico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain.

The anatomy of the pelvis may obscure differences in pelvic tilt, potentially underestimating its correlation with clinical measures. Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea version 0.
