Caractérisation de la génération et la propagation d'ondes de pressions dans des tissus biologiques pour la conception d'appareils médicaux

Therapies using so called extracorporeal shock waves (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy ESWT) have become current medical practice in orthopedy and traumatology. In order to understand and to optimize the effect of shock waves in clinical applications, med ...

Workflow Monitoring based on Multi-view Reconstruction

Daniel Weinland

Activity recognition has primarily addressed the identification of either actions or well-defined interactions among objects in a scene. In this work, we extend the scope to the study of workflow monitoring. In a workflow, ordered groups of activities (pha ...

Improvement of the Contrast in Cancer Detection by Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy using a narrow spectral violet Excitation: A preliminary study

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht, Blaise Lovisa

Autofluorescence (AF) bronchoscopy is a useful tool for early cancer detection. However, the mechanisms involved in this diagnosis procedure are poorly understood. We present a clinical autofluorescence imaging study to assess the depth of the principal co ...

Fracture strength of structural glass elements

Matthias Haldimann

For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...

feature-segmentation-based registration for fast and accurate deep brain stimulation targeting

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Francisco Javier Sanchez Castro

Objects Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has turned out to be the surgical technique of choice for the treatment of movement disorders, e.g. Parkinsons disease (PD), the usual target being the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The targeting of such a small structure ...

Comparison of four procedures for the identification of hybrid systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper we compare four recently proposed procedures for the identification of PieceWise AutoRegressive eXogenous (PWARX) and switched ARX models. We consider the clustering-based procedure, the bounded-error procedure, and the Bayesian procedure whi ...

Haptic instrumentation for an interventional radiology simulator

Dejan Ilic

Low trauma, reduced costs and fast recovery are only a few factors why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is taking over classical surgical methods. Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive procedure where thin tubular instruments are steered th ...

Influence of the excitation wavelength on the Tumor-to-Healthy Contrast in Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy - A Comprehensive Study

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht, Pascal Uehlinger

Autofluorescence (AF) bronchoscopy is a useful tool for early cancer detection. However the mechanisms involved in this diagnosis procedure are poorly understood. We present an in vivo autofluorescence imaging study to access the depth of the principal con ...

Comparison of three procedures for the identification of hybrid systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper three recently proposed procedures for the identification of Piece-Wise AutoRegressive eXogenous (PWARX) models are compared. Quantitative measures for the quality of the obtained models are proposed. Using one dimensional examples specific b ...
