Postcranial pneumaticity in dinosaurs and the origin of the avian lung [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In birds, diverticula of the lungs and air sacs pneumatize specific regions of the postcranial skeleton. Relationships among pulmonary components and skeletal regions they pneumatize allow inferences about pulmonary anatomy in non-avian dinosaurs. Fossae, foramina and chambers in the postcranial skeletons of pterosaurs and saurischian dinosaurs are ...

Magnetic Fluid‐Driven Vine Robots for Minimally Invasive Tissue Biopsy Sampling
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a magnetic fluid‐powered vine robot for minimally invasive biopsies. The robot uses fluid pressurization for locomotion and external magnetic fields for precise steering. Its soft structure and high magnetic volume ensure controlled movements and stabilization, enabling effective tissue penetration.

Airway segmentation from 3D chest CT volumes based on volume of interest using gradient vector flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Some lung diseases are related to bronchial airway structures and morphology. Although airway segmentation from chest CT volumes is an important task in the computer-aided diagnosis and surgery assistance systems for the chest, complete 3-D airway structure segmentation is a quite challenging task due to its complex tree-like structure.
