IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
Pengdong Xiao received his PhD degree in information engineering from the Australian National University in 2011. He had his undergraduate training in mechanical engineering at China University of Mining and Technology from 1983 to 1987, and earned Master degrees in Mechatronics (Robotics) and Computer Science from Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering and the National University of Singapore in 1990 and 2002 respectively. He received his first PhD degree in mechanical engineering from Chongqing University, China, in 1993. After 4 years of postdoc work at Tsinghua University, China, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, he subsequently acquired many years of research experience in both academic institutions and industry including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA), NICTA (now Data61, Australia), A*Star (Singapore), Biobot Surgical, Sybase and Motorola. He was a Visiting Scientist in Data61, CSIRO, Australia. Currently he is a Research Fellow in National Heart Research Institute Singapore (NHRIS), National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), Singapore. His research interests include medical image analysis and medical robotics.
One important index to assess left ventricular diastolic function is the quantitative measurement of atrioventricular junction (AVJ) motion in one cardiac cycle including systole and diastole. The best way to perform the measurement is to use a software tool that...
