Light in the Larynx: a Miniaturized Robotic Optical Fiber for In-office Laser Surgery of the Vocal Folds [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This letter reports the design, construction, and experimental validation of a novel hand-held robot for in-office laser surgery of the vocal folds. In-office endoscopic laser surgery is an emerging trend in Laryngology: It promises to deliver the same patient outcomes of traditional surgical treatment (i.e., in the operating room), at a fraction of ...

Video-TransUNet: Temporally Blended Vision Transformer for CT VFSS Instance Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose Video-TransUNet, a deep architecture for instance segmentation in medical CT videos constructed by integrating temporal feature blending into the TransUNet deep learning framework. In particular, our approach amalgamates strong frame representation via a ResNet CNN backbone, multi-frame feature blending via a Temporal Context Module (TCM ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Current radiotherapy practices rely on manual contouring of CT scans, which is time‐consuming, prone to variability, and requires highly trained experts. There is a need for more efficient and consistent contouring methods. This study evaluated the performance of the Varian Ethos AI auto‐contouring tool to assess its potential integration into

Experimental investigation of the trachea oscillation and its role in the pitch production [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Several experiments have been performed to investigate the mechanical vibrations associated with trachea and larynx when Italian vowels are emitted. The mechanical measurements have been made by using two laser Doppler vibrometers (based on the well-known not-invasive optical measurement technique) coupled with the acoustic field measured by high ...
