A small footprint couch‐top support device for image‐guided radiotherapy of heavy patients
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose Patients with body weights close to or above 400 lbs present unique challenges in radiation therapy since the weight limit of most treatment couches decreases as the couch‐top extends toward the treatment gantry. The purpose of this work was to develop a small footprint couch‐top support platform to safely perform image‐guided ...

Bone Marrow Cell Recognition: Training Deep Object Detection with A New Loss Function [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 For a long time, bone marrow cell morphology examination has been an essential tool for diagnosing blood diseases. However, it is still mainly dependent on the subjective diagnosis of experienced doctors, and there is no objective quantitative standard.

Experimental study and practice on the detection of vegetative planktons in the bone marrow of the drowned dead body [PDF]
, 1959 Experiment on the animals proved that in the case of the death by drowning planktons always immigrate into the bone marrow and some kinds of them can be detected in the bone marrow even after a long period of time, suggesting that the detection of these ...

Histogram of Cell Types: Deep Learning for Automated Bone Marrow Cytology [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Bone marrow cytology is required to make a hematological diagnosis, influencing critical clinical decision points in hematology. However, bone marrow cytology is tedious, limited to experienced reference centers and associated with high inter-observer variability.

A continuum mechanical porous media model for vertebroplasty: Numerical simulations and experimental validation [PDF]
, 2022 The outcome of vertebroplasty is hard to predict due to its dependence on complex factors like bone cement and marrow rheologies. Cement leakage could occur if the procedure is done incorrectly, potentially causing adverse complications. A reliable simulation could predict the patient-specific outcome preoperatively and avoid the risk of cement leakage.
