A ToF-based system for recording human sagittal back shape.

Technol Health Care

Shanghai Yangpu District Central Hospital, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Published: August 2021

Background: The sagittal back shape (SBS) of the human body, which should be highly consistent with the spinal morphology along the internal spine line, also presents an s-shaped curve.

Objective: We propose a novel time-of-flight (ToF) based system to record the s-shaped SBS of the human body, which was simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive.

Results: The system was composed of a bottom plate, an upright post, a vertical rod, dozens of horizontal measuring rods, and a ToF sensor. The experimental results showed that the system supported to obtain the s-shaped SBS of the human body with satisfactory accuracy.

Conclusions: The ToF-based system for recording human sagittal back shape will be useful for routine screening of spinal physiological conditions in schools, as well as for e.g. digital garment design, and special seat-back design.

Background: An accurate knowledge of a patient's risk of cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data loss is important for an informed decision-making process prior to deformity correction, but no prediction tool currently exists.

Methods: A total of 1,106 patients with spinal deformity and 205 perioperative variables were included. A stepwise machine-learning (ML) approach using random forest (RF) analysis and multivariable logistic regression was performed.

Age-stratified anatomical differences of orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, 1-1 Yazako-Karimata, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.

Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.

Craniosynostosis is rarely diagnosed in utero. Prenatal diagnosis has the potential to improve patient outcomes and streamline care, however, and is becoming more feasible as technology improves. The objective of this study is to examine existing literature on prenatal diagnosis of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis.

Due to the low contrast of abdominal CT (Computer Tomography) images and the similar color and shape of the liver to other organs such as the spleen, stomach, and kidneys, liver segmentation presents significant challenges. Additionally, 2D CT images obtained from different angles (such as sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes) increase the diversity of liver morphology and the complexity of segmentation. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Detail Enhanced Convolution (DE Conv) to improve liver feature learning and thereby enhance liver segmentation performance.
