Adaptive Generation of Phantom Limbs Using Visible Hierarchical Autoencoders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
This paper proposed a hierarchical visible autoencoder in the adaptive phantom limbs generation according to the kinetic behavior of functional body-parts, which are measured by heterogeneous kinetic sensors. The proposed visible hierarchical autoencoder consists of interpretable and multi-correlated autoencoder pipelines, which is directly derived ...

Thermomechanical Assessment of Breast Tumor Subjected to Focused Ultrasound and Interstitial Laser Heating [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
During laser and ultrasound thermotherapy it is always desirable to have a precise necrosis of deeply seated tumor preserving the adjoining healthy tissue with minimum thermally induced nociceptive pain sensation to the patient. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of nanoparticle mixed tissues under pulsed and continuous heating ...
