Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

文摘BACKGROUND It has been confirmed that three-dimensional(3D)imaging allows easier identification of bile duct anatomy and intraoperative guidance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP),which reduces the radiation dose and procedure time with improved safety.However,current 3D biliary imaging does not have good real-time fusion with intraoperative imaging,a process meant to overcome the influence of intraoperative respiratory motion and guide navigation.The present study explored the feasibility of real-time continuous image-guided ERCP.AIM To explore the feasibility of real-time continuous image-guided ERCP.METHODS We selected 23D-printed abdominal biliary tract models with different structures to simulate different patients.The ERCP environment was simulated for the biliary phantom experiment to create a navigation system,which was further tested in patients.In addition,based on the estimation of the patient’s respiratory motion,preoperative 3D biliary imaging from computed tomography of 18 patients with cholelithiasis was registered and fused in real-time with 2D fluoroscopic sequence generated by the C-arm unit during ERCP.RESULTS Continuous image-guided ERCP was applied in the biliary phantom with a registration error of 0.46 mm±0.13 mm and a tracking error of 0.64 mm±0.24mm.After estimating the respiratory motion,3D/2D registration accurately transformed preoperative 3D biliary images to each image in the X-ray image sequence in real-time in 18 patients,with an average fusion rate of 88%.CONCLUSION Continuous image-guided ERCP may be an effective approach to assist the operator and reduce the use of X-ray and contrast agents.

文摘With advancements in medical imaging and robotic technology,the idea of fully autonomous diagnosis and treatment has become appealing,from ethereal to tangible.Owing to its characteristics of non-invasiveness,non-radiation,and fast imaging speed,ultrasonography has been increasingly used in clinical practice,such as in obstetrics,gynecology,and surgical puncture.In this paper,we propose a real-time image-based visual servo control scheme using a hybrid slice-to-volume registration method.In this manner,the robot can autonomously locate the ultrasound probe to the desired posture according to preoperational planning,even in the presence of disturbances.The experiments are designed and conducted using a thyroid biopsy phantom model.The results show that the proposed scheme can achieve a refresh rate of up to 30 Hz and a tracking accuracy of(0.52±0.65)mm.

文摘In the foundry industries,process design has traditionally relied on manuals and complex theoretical calculations.With the advent of 3D design in casting,computer-aided design(CAD)has been applied to integrate the features of casting process,thereby expanding the scope of design options.These technologies use parametric model design techniques for rapid component creation and use databases to access standard process parameters and design specifications.However,3D models are currently still created through inputting or calling parameters,which requires numerous verifications through calculations to ensure the design rationality.This process may be significantly slowed down due to repetitive modifications and extended design time.As a result,there are increasingly urgent demands for a real-time verification mechanism to address this issue.Therefore,this study proposed a novel closed-loop model and software development method that integrated contextual design with real-time verification,dynamically verifying relevant rules for designing 3D casting components.Additionally,the study analyzed three typical closed-loop scenarios of agile design in an independent developed intelligent casting process system.It is believed that foundry industries can potentially benefit from favorably reduced design cycles to yield an enhanced competitive product market.
文摘Large portions of the tunnel boring machine(TBM)construction cost are attributed to disc cutter consumption,and assessing the disc cutter's wear level can help determine the optimal time to replace the disc cutter.Therefore,the need to monitor disc cutter wear in real-time has emerged as a technical challenge for TBMs.In this study,real-time disc cutter wear monitoring is developed based on sound and vibration sensors.For this purpose,the microphone and accelerometer were used to record the sound and vibration signals of cutting three different types of rocks with varying abrasions on a laboratory scale.The relationship between disc cutter wear and the sound and vibration signal was determined by comparing the measurements of disc cutter wear with the signal plots for each sample.The features extracted from the signals showed that the sound and vibration signals are impacted by the progression of disc wear during the rock-cutting process.The signal features obtained from the rock-cutting operation were utilized to verify the machine learning techniques.The results showed that the multilayer perceptron(MLP),random subspace-based decision tree(RS-DT),DT,and random forest(RF)methods could predict the wear level of the disc cutter with an accuracy of 0.89,0.951,0.951,and 0.927,respectively.Based on the accuracy of the models and the confusion matrix,it was found that the RS-DT model has the best estimate for predicting the level of disc wear.This research has developed a method that can potentially determine when to replace a tool and assess disc wear in real-time.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients.Recognizing Medical-Related Human Activities(MRHA)is pivotal for healthcare systems,particularly for identifying actions critical to patient well-being.However,challenges such as high computational demands,low accuracy,and limited adaptability persist in Human Motion Recognition(HMR).While some studies have integrated HMR with IoT for real-time healthcare applications,limited research has focused on recognizing MRHA as essential for effective patient monitoring.This study proposes a novel HMR method tailored for MRHA detection,leveraging multi-stage deep learning techniques integrated with IoT.The approach employs EfficientNet to extract optimized spatial features from skeleton frame sequences using seven Mobile Inverted Bottleneck Convolutions(MBConv)blocks,followed by Convolutional Long Short Term Memory(ConvLSTM)to capture spatio-temporal patterns.A classification module with global average pooling,a fully connected layer,and a dropout layer generates the final predictions.The model is evaluated on the NTU RGB+D 120 and HMDB51 datasets,focusing on MRHA such as sneezing,falling,walking,sitting,etc.It achieves 94.85%accuracy for cross-subject evaluations and 96.45%for cross-view evaluations on NTU RGB+D 120,along with 89.22%accuracy on HMDB51.Additionally,the system integrates IoT capabilities using a Raspberry Pi and GSM module,delivering real-time alerts via Twilios SMS service to caregivers and patients.This scalable and efficient solution bridges the gap between HMR and IoT,advancing patient monitoring,improving healthcare outcomes,and reducing costs.
文摘Along with process control,perception represents the main function performed by the Edge Layer of an Internet of Things(IoT)network.Many of these networks implement various applications where the response time does not represent an important parameter.However,in critical applications,this parameter represents a crucial aspect.One important sensing device used in IoT designs is the accelerometer.In most applications,the response time of the embedded driver software handling this device is generally not analysed and not taken into account.In this paper,we present the design and implementation of a predictable real-time driver stack for a popular accelerometer and gyroscope device family.We provide clear justifications for why this response time is extremely important for critical applications in the acquisition process of such data.We present extensive measurements and experimental results that demonstrate the predictability of our solution,making it suitable for critical real-time systems.
