Information theoretic-based similarity measures, in particular mutual information, are widely used for intermodal/intersubject 3D brain image registration. However, conventional mutual information does not take into account spatial dependency between adjacent…
read moreAssessing the structural integrity of the hippocampus (HC) is an essential step towards prevention, diagnosis and follow-up of various brain disorders due to the implication of the structural changes of…
read moreCurrent clinical practice suggests that recovering the hand functionality lost or reduced by injuries, interventions and chronic diseases requires, beyond pharmacological treatments, a kinesiotherapic intervention. This form of rehabilitation consists…
read moreThis paper presents a gastric contraction imaging system for assessment of gastric motility using a three-dimensional endoscope. Gastrointestinal diseases are mainly based on morphological abnormalities. However, gastrointestinal symptoms are sometimes…
read moreTwo novel methods for detecting cardiac quiescent phases from B-mode echocardiography using a correlation-based frame-to-frame deviation measure were developed. Accurate knowledge of cardiac quiescence is crucial to the performance of…
read moreThe rapid development of biomedical monitoring technologies has enabled modern intensive care units (ICUs) to gather vast amounts of multimodal measurement data about their patients. However, processing large volumes of…
read moreThis paper presents a state-of-art survey of eye tracking and head movement detection methods proposed in the literature. Eye-gaze detection and tracking have been an active research field in the…
read moreRecently we demonstrated the utility of optical fluorometry to detect a change in the redox status of mitochondrial autofluorescent coenzymes NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and FAD (oxidized form of Flavin…
