SHOP: A Deep Learning Based Pipeline for near Real-Time Detection of Small Handheld Objects Present in Blurry Video [PDF]
While prior works have investigated and developed computational models capable of object detection, models still struggle to reliably interpret images with motion blur and small objects. Moreover, none of these models are specifically designed for handheld object detection. In this work, we present SHOP (Small Handheld Object Pipeline), a pipeline that

Handheld photoacoustic tomography probe built using optical-fiber parallel acoustic delay lines [PDF]
The development of the first miniaturized parallel acoustic delay line (PADL) probe for handheld photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is reported. Using fused-silica optical fibers with low acoustic attenuation, we constructed two arrays of eight PADLs ...

A comparison of handheld ultrasound versus traditional ultrasound for acquisition of RUSH views in healthy volunteers [PDF]
Few studies evaluate the use of handheld ultrasound devices for point-of-care ultrasonography in the emergency department. We hypothesized that image acquisition time and image quality are similar between a handheld device and a traditional device.
