Successful Neonatal, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in the Surgical Correction of a Thoracic Dermal Sinus Tract: Technical Note.

Journal Article Pediatr Neurosurg · 2022 INTRODUCTION: Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is commonly used during surgery of the spine and spinal cord for early surveillance of iatrogenic injury to the central and peripheral nervous system. However, for infants and young children under 3 years ... Full text Link to item Cite

Y-Net for Chest X-Ray Preprocessing: Simultaneous Classification of Geometry and Segmentation of Annotations.

Conference Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc · July 2020 Over the last decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as the leading algorithms in image classification and segmentation. Recent publication of large medical imaging databases have accelerated their use in the biomedical arena. While trai ... Full text Link to item Cite

Design, implementation, and demographic differences of HEAL: a self-report health care leadership instrument.

Journal Article J Healthc Leadersh · 2016 The medical community has recognized the importance of leadership skills among its members. While numerous leadership assessment tools exist at present, few are specifically tailored to the unique health care environment. The study team designed a 24-item ... Full text Link to item Cite

The association of left atrial low-voltage regions on electroanatomic mapping with low attenuation regions on cardiac computed tomography perfusion imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Journal Article Heart Rhythm · May 2015 BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CE-MDCT) could identify ventricular fibrosis after myocardial infarction. However, whether CE-MDCT can characterize atrial low-voltage regions remains unknown ... Full text Link to item Cite

Evaluation and comparison of current fetal ultrasound image segmentation methods for biometric measurements: a grand challenge.

Journal Article IEEE Trans Med Imaging · April 2014 This paper presents the evaluation results of the methods submitted to Challenge US: Biometric Measurements from Fetal Ultrasound Images, a segmentation challenge held at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging 2012. The challenge was set to ... Full text Link to item Cite

Patterning small-molecule biocapture surfaces: microcontact insertion printing vs. photolithography.

Journal Article Chem Commun (Camb) · October 14, 2011 Chemical patterns prepared by self-assembly, combined with soft lithography or photolithography, are directly compared. Pattern fidelity can be controlled in both cases but patterning at the low densities necessary for small-molecule probe capture of large ... Full text Link to item Cite

Interpreting edge information for improved endocardium delineation in echocardiograms

Conference 9th IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) Successful segmentation of the left ventricle in echocardiograms relies on strong edge responses to ensure that segmentation methods converge to the endocardial boundary. However, segmentation methods that do not interpret edge responses using local shape ... Full text Cite

Modified Hough transform for left ventricle myocardium segmentation in 3-D echocardiogram images

Conference 9th IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) Segmentation of the left ventricular myocardium from 3D echocardiograms is complicated by speckle, artifact, and complex anatomy. Typical segmentation methods benefit from accurate initialization. We propose a two-step Hough transform to find an annular ap ... Full text Cite

Learning optical flow propagation strategies using random forests for fast segmentation in dynamic 2D & 3D echocardiography

Conference Fast segmentation of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium in 3D+time echocardiographic sequences can provide quantitative data of heart function that can aid in clinical diagnosis and disease assessment. We present an algorithm for automatic segmentation o ... Cite

Dysfunctional chemotaxis in Familial Mediterranean Fever

Journal Article Purpose: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a heritable autoinflammatory disease characterized by substantial neutrophil influx at sites of serosal and synovial involvement. Inflammatory attacks are usually prevented by prophylaxis with colchicine, a mi ... Cite

Comparison of native versus ablation-induced scar on left atrial magnetic resonance imaging

Conference 35th Heart Rhythm Society Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated that the extent of left atrial (LA) myocardial native and ablation-induced scar is associated with post-ablation atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. However methodologies to distinguish native versus ablati ... Cite

Dissecting inflammatory and chemotactic pathways in Familial Mediterranean Fever

Conference Background: Familial Mediterrean fever (FMF) is a heritable autoinflammatory disease characterized by substantial neutrophil influx at sites of serosal and synovial involvement. Inflammatory attacks are usually prevented by prophylaxis with colchicine, a m ... Cite
