Objectives

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are a valid alternative to optical tracking systems for human motion capture, but they are subject to several disturbances that limit their accuracy. We aim to improve the accuracy of elbow joint angle estimation from IMU measurements by introducing a novel postprocessing algorithm that uses anatomical constraints and does not require any prior calibration or knowledge of anthropometric parameters.

Materials and Methods

We propose a new error model that addresses sensor misalignment and fusion errors. We use an error state extended Kalman filter (ESEKF) with state constraints to integrate the anatomical constraints. We validate the proposed algorithm by testing it in different scenarios and comparing it with a state-of-the-art optical tracking system.

Results

The research results highlight the superior performance of the proposed method compared with existing techniques. The study demonstrates a significant reduction in errors, particularly in complex arm movements and under strong external disturbances. The results obtained in the three different tested scenarios underscore the robustness and effectiveness of the developed algorithm, reaching half the error committed by the existing calibration-free correction algorithms proposed in the literature.

Conclusions

The developed technique provides highly accurate estimates of joint angles in several challenging real-world scenarios.

目标 惯性测量单元(IMU)是光学跟踪系统的有效替代品,可用于人体运动捕捉,但它们会受到一些干扰,从而限制了其准确性。我们的目标是通过引入一种新的后处理算法来提高根据 IMU 测量结果估算肘关节角度的准确性,该算法使用解剖学约束,不需要任何事先校准或人体测量参数知识。我们使用带有状态约束的误差状态扩展卡尔曼滤波器(ESEKF)来整合解剖约束。我们通过在不同场景中进行测试,并与最先进的光学跟踪系统进行比较,验证了所提出的算法。研究表明,特别是在复杂的手臂运动和强烈的外部干扰下,误差明显减少。在三种不同的测试场景中获得的结果凸显了所开发算法的鲁棒性和有效性,其误差仅为文献中提出的现有免校准校正算法的一半。

Objectives

Many molecular imaging diagnoses involve comparing two regions of interest (ROIs) in the image or different images. Since the images are obtained by measuring a random phenomenon, such comparisons should be based on a statistical test to ensure reliability. Recent studies have shown that use of the bootstrap approach provides access to the statistical variability of reconstructed values in molecular images. However, although there is general agreement that this increase in information should make diagnosis based on molecular images more reliable, no approach has been proposed in the relevant literature to use bootstrap replicates to enhance the reliability of comparisons of two ROIs. In this paper, we propose to fill this gap by introducing the first statistical test that allows us to compare two sets of pixels/voxels for which bootstrap replicates are available.

Material and methods

After presenting the theoretical basis of this non-parametric statistical test, this article describes how to calculate it in practice. Finally, it proposes two experiments based on quantitative comparisons and expert judgment to assess its relevance.

Results

The results obtained are consistent with expert diagnosis on synthetic data. This validates the relevance of the D-test.

Conclusion

This paper presents the first statistical test to compare two ROIs in reconstructed images for which the statistical variability information is accessible.

目标许多分子成像诊断都需要比较图像或不同图像中的两个感兴趣区(ROI)。由于图像是通过测量随机现象获得的,因此这种比较应基于统计检验以确保可靠性。最近的研究表明,使用引导法可以获得分子图像中重建值的统计变异性。然而,尽管人们普遍认为这种信息的增加应使基于分子图像的诊断更加可靠,但相关文献中还没有提出使用引导复制法来提高两个 ROI 比较的可靠性。在本文中,我们建议通过引入第一个统计检验来填补这一空白,该检验允许我们对两组像素/体素进行比较,而这两组像素/体素都有引导复制。最后,文章提出了两个基于定量比较和专家判断的实验来评估其相关性。结果所获得的结果与合成数据的专家诊断结果一致。结论本文提出了第一个统计检验方法,用于比较重建图像中的两个 ROI(可获得统计变异性信息)。

Objective

Constructing a 3D model from its 2D images, known as 2D-3D reconstruction, is a challenging task. Conventionally, a parametric 3D model such as a statistical shape model (SSM) is deformed by matching the shapes in its 2D images through a series of processes, including calibration, 2D-3D registration, and optimization for nonrigid deformation. To overcome this complicated procedure, a streamlined 2D-3D reconstruction using a single X-ray image is developed in this study.

Methods

We propose 2D-3D reconstruction of a femur by adopting a deep neural network, where the deformation parameters in the SSM determining the 3D shape of the femur are predicted from a single X-ray image using a deep transfer-learning network. For learning the network from distinct features representing the 3D shape information in the X-ray image, a specific proximal part of the femur from a unique X-ray pose that allows accurate prediction of the 3D femur shape is designated and used to train the network. Then, the corresponding proximal/distal 3D femur model is reconstructed from only the single X-ray image acquired at the designated position.

Results

Experiments were conducted using actual X-ray images of a femur phantom and X-ray images of a patient's femur derived from computed tomography to verify the proposed method. The average errors of the reconstructed 3D shape of the proximal and distal femurs from the proposed method were 1.20 mm and 1.08 mm in terms of root mean squared point-to-surface distance, respectively.

Conclusion

The proposed method presents an innovative approach to simplifying the 2D-3D reconstruction using deep neural networks that exhibits performance compatible with the existing methodologies.

目标从二维图像构建三维模型(称为二维三维重建)是一项具有挑战性的任务。传统上,统计形状模型(SSM)等参数化三维模型是通过校准、二维三维配准和非刚性变形优化等一系列过程匹配其二维图像中的形状进行变形的。为了克服这一复杂的过程,本研究开发了一种使用单张 X 射线图像的简化 2D-3D 重建方法。我们建议采用深度神经网络对股骨进行 2D-3D 重建,其中,决定股骨 3D 形状的 SSM 中的变形参数将使用深度迁移学习网络从单张 X 射线图像中进行预测。为了从 X 射线图像中代表三维形状信息的不同特征中学习网络,需要指定能够准确预测股骨三维形状的独特 X 射线姿势中的特定股骨近端部分,并将其用于训练网络。然后,仅从指定位置获取的单张 X 光图像中重建相应的股骨近端/远端三维模型。结果实验使用股骨模型的实际 X 光图像和从计算机断层扫描中获取的患者股骨的 X 光图像来验证所提出的方法。根据所提方法重建的股骨近端和远端三维形状的平均误差(点到面距离的均方根值)分别为 1.20 毫米和 1.08 毫米。

Obstetric gynaecology, as a field in which diagnostic ultrasound has quickly found its place, especially in screening for birth defects and monitoring pregnancies, is also a speciality in which therapeutic ultrasound is used extensively.

In pelvic gynaecology, HIFU therapy is used more specifically in two types of uterine conditions: fibroids and adenomyosis. In both cases, studies have shown significant efficacy in reducing pain and bleeding associated with the conditions, secondarily (more moderately but still significantly) reducing the volume of the lesions. Impact on fertility has yet to be demonstrated.

In rectosigmoid endometriosis, clinical data indicates good treatment feasibility and significant efficacy on digestive and gynaecologic pain symptoms, as well as on quality of life, with no associated severe complications. Should the efficacy of HIFU in treating endometriosis be confirmed over time, it could revolutionise the management of digestive endometriosis by offering a valid minimally invasive alternative to rectosigmoid surgery.

In senology, where visible scars have a particularly significant psychological impact, several teams have been researching the use of HIFU for the destruction of some types of breast lesions (fibroadenomas and breast tumours).

In obstetrics, HIFU could become a treatment of choice for vascular anomalies such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in twin pregnancies. Promising studies are also available regarding the use of HIFU in the treatment of post-partum placenta accreta.

妇产科是一个超声诊断领域,尤其是在先天缺陷筛查和妊娠监测方面,超声诊断很快就占据了一席之地,同时也是一个广泛使用超声治疗的专科。在盆腔妇科方面,HIFU 治疗更多地是用于两种子宫疾病:子宫肌瘤和子宫腺肌症。在这两种情况下,研究都显示出在减少与病症相关的疼痛和出血方面有显著疗效,其次是(较为温和但仍然显著)减少病变的体积。对于直肠乙状结肠子宫内膜异位症,临床数据显示其治疗可行性良好,对消化道和妇科疼痛症状以及生活质量有显著疗效,且无相关严重并发症。如果随着时间的推移,HIFU 治疗子宫内膜异位症的疗效得到证实,它将为直肠乙状结肠手术提供一种有效的微创替代方法,从而彻底改变消化道子宫内膜异位症的治疗方法。在老年医学领域,明显的疤痕会对心理产生特别大的影响,因此一些研究小组一直在研究利用 HIFU 治疗某些类型的乳腺病变(乳腺纤维腺瘤和乳腺肿瘤)。在产科领域,HIFU 可能成为治疗血管异常(如双胎妊娠中的双胎输血综合征)的首选方法。关于利用 HIFU 治疗产后胎盘早剥的研究也很有前景。

Background

Monitoring of wound healing progression is critical due to the risk of infection, non-healing wounds, or evolution towards a chronic state. Tissue vasculature is one of the most representative features reflecting healing status. This study explores the feasibility of vascular ultrasound imaging of open wounds and the extraction of vascular-related features in a longitudinal study.

Material and methods

C57BL/6 mice received a 1 cm-diameter full-thickness wound on their dorsum and were imaged using ultrasound from the surgical day (Day 0) to 25 days post-wounding. The high frame rate, plane waves acquisitions with a 15 MHz transducer were postprocessed with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) filtering to provide vascular information.

Results

Vascularity Index (VI) calculations showed an increased vascular signal in the wound from Day 2 post-wounding and were significantly higher from day 6 to day 10 post-wounding compared to Day 0 (p<0.05). VI values were back to the basal level after 3 weeks. In comparison, no significant difference was highlighted for the vascular signal in the peri-wound area.

Conclusions

These results show that vascular ultrasound imaging can be applied to track vascular changes of open wounds during the healing process. This approach may also be extended to other types of wounds for detecting early signs likely to cause complications.

背景由于存在感染、伤口不愈合或向慢性状态发展的风险,因此监测伤口愈合进展至关重要。组织血管是反映愈合状态的最具代表性的特征之一。本研究探讨了开放性伤口血管超声成像的可行性,以及在纵向研究中提取血管相关特征的可行性。材料与方法C57BL/6小鼠背侧有一个直径1厘米的全厚伤口,从手术当天(第0天)到伤口愈合后25天,小鼠都接受了超声成像。结果血管指数(VI)计算显示,自伤口愈合后第 2 天起,伤口内的血管信号增加,伤口愈合后第 6 天至第 10 天的血管信号明显高于第 0 天(p<0.05)。3 周后,VI 值恢复到基本水平。结论:这些结果表明,血管超声成像可用于跟踪愈合过程中开放性伤口的血管变化。这一方法也可应用于其他类型的伤口,以检测可能导致并发症的早期征兆。

Ultrasound Imaging for Wall Shear Stress Measurements 墙剪应力测量的超声成像

Background: Wall shear stress (WSS) plays an indispensable role in shaping the trajectory of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and aneurysms. Specific patterns of low and oscillating WSS are implicated in the promotion of plaque accumulation, whereas elevated WSS levels are associated with inflammatory responses, the synthesis of metalloproteases, and eventual rupture of plaque. Therefore, an accurate, noninvasive quantification of local hemodynamics and WSS is integral to the precise diagnosis of vascular disorders. Ultrasound imaging has emerged as a favored modality for measuring the WSS owing to its noninvasive nature, ease of access, and user-friendly interface. However, existing reviews primarily focus on the assessment of blood flow characteristics, including velocity profiles and volume flow rates. To the best of our knowledge, thus far, no review has been dedicated to ultrasound imaging techniques for the measurement of in vivo WSS.

Purpose: This study aimed to perform a thorough overview of current and emerging ultrasound imaging methodologies tailored for in vivo WSS quantification.

Basic procedure: The fundamental principles of WSS measurements were explored, and various techniques—-Doppler ultrasound imaging, ultrasound imaging velocimetry, and speckle decorrelation—-that are employed for WSS assessment were studied.

背景:壁剪切应力(WSS)在动脉粥样硬化和动脉瘤等血管疾病的发展过程中起着不可或缺的作用。低WSS和振荡WSS的特定模式与促进斑块积累有关,而WSS水平升高与炎症反应、金属蛋白酶的合成和斑块的最终破裂有关。因此,准确、无创地量化局部血流动力学和WSS对于血管疾病的精确诊断是不可或缺的。超声成像由于其无创性、易于获取和用户友好的界面,已成为测量WSS的首选方式。然而,现有的综述主要集中在血流特性的评估上,包括速度分布和体积流速。据我们所知,到目前为止,还没有关于超声成像技术测量体内WSS的综述。目的:本研究旨在对当前和新兴的用于体内WSS量化的超声成像方法进行全面概述。基本程序:探讨了WSS测量的基本原理,并研究了用于WSS评估的各种技术——多普勒超声成像、超声成像测速和散斑去相关。主要发现:这些技术通过促进血管生理学重要参数的无创和准确的WSS测量,显示了临床应用的前景。进一步的研究是必要的,以克服具体的挑战,如准确检测血管壁边界。结论:本综述的发现有望促进超声成像技术在体内WSS测量方面的进步。

Objectives

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is a crucial micro-resolution imaging modality used to assess the internal structure of blood vessels. Lumen segmentation in IVOCT images is vital for measuring the location and the extent of vessel blockages and for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention. Obtaining such information in real-time is essential, necessitating the use of fast automated algorithms. In this paper, we proposed an innovative polynomial-regression convolutional neural network (CNN) for fast and automated IVOCT lumen segmentation.

Materials and methods

The polynomial-regression CNN architecture was uniquely crafted to enable single-pass extraction of lumen borders via IVOCT image regression, ensuring real-time processing efficiency without compromising accuracy. The architecture designed convolution for regression while omitting fully connected layers, leading to the spatial output of lumen representation as polynomial coefficients, thus enabling the formation of interconnected lumen points. The approach equipped the network to comprehend the intricate and continuous geometries and curvatures intrinsic to blood vessels in transverse and longitudinal dimensions. The network was trained on a dataset of 16,165 images and evaluated using 7,016 images.

Results

The predicted segmentations exhibited a distance error of less than 2 pixels (26.40 μm), Dice's coefficient of 0.982, Jaccard Index of 0.966, sensitivity of 0.980, specificity of 0.999, and a prediction time of 4 s (for a pullback containing 360 images). This technique demonstrated significantly improved performance in both accuracy and speed compared to published techniques.

Conclusion

The strong segmentation performance, fast speed, and robustness to image variations highlight the practical clinical utility of the proposed polynomial-regression network.

目的血管内光学相干断层扫描(IVOCT)是一种用于评估血管内部结构的关键微分辨率成像方式。IVOCT图像中的管腔分割对于测量血管阻塞的位置和程度以及指导经皮冠状动脉介入治疗至关重要。实时获取这些信息是必不可少的,因此需要使用快速的自动算法。在本文中,我们提出了一种创新的多项式回归卷积神经网络(CNN),用于快速和自动的IVOCT腔体分割。材料和方法采用独特的多项式回归CNN架构,通过IVOCT图像回归实现单次提取流腔边界,确保实时处理效率而不影响精度。该架构设计了用于回归的卷积,同时省略了完全连接的层,导致流明表示作为多项式系数的空间输出,从而形成相互连接的流明点。该方法使网络能够理解血管在横向和纵向上固有的复杂和连续的几何形状和曲率。该网络在包含16,165张图像的数据集上进行训练,并使用7,016张图像进行评估。结果预测的分割距离误差小于2像素(26.40 μm), Dice系数为0.982,Jaccard指数为0.966,灵敏度为0.980,特异性为0.999,预测时间为4 s(对于包含360张图像的回拉)。与已发表的技术相比,该技术在准确性和速度方面都有了显著提高。结论所提出的多项式回归网络具有较强的分割性能、较快的速度和对图像变化的鲁棒性。

The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system based on motor imagery (MI) is a hot research topic nowadays, which can control external devices through the brain and has a wide range of applications in rehabilitation, gaming, and entertainment. Due to the non-smooth, non-linear, and low signal-to-noise ratio of the MI EEG signal, it is challenging to accurately decode the MI task intention. A new end-to-end deep learning method is proposed to decode raw MI EEG signals without preprocessing, such as filtering and feature reinforcement. The 1D convolution is used to learn the time-frequency features in MI signals, and a four-branch fusion network is used as the main body to add a 1D CNN-AE block and 1D SE-block to enhance the algorithm's performance. Experiments on two publicly available datasets demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods. It achieves 86.11% and 89.51% on the BCI Competition IV-2a and the BCI Competition IV-2b datasets, respectively, and a 6.9% improvement in the generalizability test. The proposed data enhancement method can effectively alleviate the overfitting of the algorithm and improve the decoding performance. Further analysis shows that 1D convolution can effectively extract the features associated with the MI task.

基于运动意象(MI)的脑机接口(BCI)系统是目前研究的热点,它可以通过大脑控制外部设备,在康复、游戏、娱乐等领域有着广泛的应用。由于脑电信号具有非光滑、非线性、低信噪比等特点,对脑电任务意图的准确解码具有一定的挑战性。提出了一种新的端到端深度学习方法来对原始脑电信号进行解码,而不需要进行滤波和特征强化等预处理。采用一维卷积学习MI信号的时频特征,采用四分支融合网络为主体,增加一维CNN-AE块和一维se块,增强算法性能。在两个公开可用的数据集上的实验表明,我们提出的算法优于当前最先进的方法。在BCI Competition IV-2a和BCI Competition IV-2b数据集上分别达到86.11%和89.51%,在泛化性测试中提高了6.9%。所提出的数据增强方法可以有效地缓解算法的过拟合,提高解码性能。进一步分析表明,一维卷积可以有效地提取与MI任务相关的特征。
