Detecting total hip replacement prosthesis design on preoperative radiographs using deep convolutional neural network [PDF]
, 2019 Identifying the design of a failed implant is a key step in preoperative planning of revision total joint arthroplasty. Manual identification of the implant design from radiographic images is time consuming and prone to error. Failure to identify the implant design preoperatively can lead to increased operating room time, more complex surgery ...

A critical comparison of methods for the determination of the ageing sensitivity in biomedical grade yttria stabilized zirconia [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research 72(2), 239-245 (2005), 2017 Since the recent failure events of two particular series of zirconia femoral heads for total hip replacement prosthesis, a large decrease in the use of zirconia ceramics for orthopaedic implants has been observed. In spite of the biomedical success of this material during the last ten years, this was required for safety reasons, until the cause of the ...

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.
