Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...

Deep Learning-based Biological Anatomical Landmark Detection in Colonoscopy Videos [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Colonoscopy is a standard imaging tool for visualizing the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract of patients to capture lesion areas. However, it takes the clinicians excessive time to review a large number of images extracted from colonoscopy videos. Thus, automatic detection of biological anatomical landmarks within the colon is highly demanded, which ...

Cost‐Effectiveness of Ferritin Screening Thresholds for Iron Deficiency in Reproductive‐Age Women
American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iron deficiency (ID) is a top five leading cause of disability‐adjusted life‐years in women of reproductive age around the world. Despite its enormous health burden, no screening guidelines exist for the detection and treatment of ID in women of reproductive age.

ColNav: Real-Time Colon Navigation for Colonoscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Colorectal cancer screening through colonoscopy continues to be the dominant global standard, as it allows identifying pre-cancerous or adenomatous lesions and provides the ability to remove them during the procedure itself. Nevertheless, failure by the endoscopist to identify such lesions increases the likelihood of lesion progression to subsequent ...

Motion-Based Weak Supervision for Video Parsing with Application to Colonoscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose a two-stage unsupervised approach for parsing videos into phases. We use motion cues to divide the video into coarse segments. Noisy segment labels are then used to weakly supervise an appearance-based classifier. We show the effectiveness of the method for phase detection in colonoscopy videos.
