Viia-hand: a Reach-and-grasp Restoration System Integrating Voice interaction, Computer vision and Auditory feedback for Blind Amputees [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Visual feedback plays a crucial role in the process of amputation patients completing grasping in the field of prosthesis control. However, for blind and visually impaired (BVI) amputees, the loss of both visual and grasping abilities makes the "easy" reach-and-grasp task a feasible challenge.

Using deep learning generated CBCT contours for online dose assessment of prostate SABR treatments
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra‐hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter‐fraction variability, inconsistent patient adherence still results in OAR variability.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate the feasibility of adapting a commercial prostate biopsy system for transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐guided hybrid gynecological (GYN) high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT). Leveraging 3D‐TRUS and MR image fusion, the prototype system aims to improve real‐time needle placement accuracy.

MLP Based Continuous Gait Recognition of a Powered Ankle Prosthesis with Serial Elastic Actuator [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Powered ankle prostheses effectively assist people with lower limb amputation to perform daily activities. High performance prostheses with adjustable compliance and capability to predict and implement amputee's intent are crucial for them to be comparable to or better than a real limb.
