Level-set based pre-processing algorithm for particle-based methods [PDF]
Computer Physics Communications, Volume 289, August 2023, 108744, 2022 Obtaining high quality particle distribution representing clean geometry in pre-processing is essential for the simulation accuracy of the particle-based methods. In this paper, several level-set based techniques for cleaning up `dirty' geometries automatically and generating homogeneous particle distributions are presented.

Influence of a commercial antithrombotic filter on the caval blood flow during neutra and valsalva maneuver [PDF]
, 2017 Anticoagulants are the treatment of choice for pulmonary embolism. When these fail or are contraindicated, vena cava filters are effective devices for preventing clots from the legs from migrating to the lung.

A DICOM Framework for Machine Learning Pipelines against Real-Time Radiology Images [PDF]
Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI), 2021, 2020 Executing machine learning (ML) pipelines in real-time on radiology images is hard due to the limited computing resources in clinical environments and the lack of efficient data transfer capabilities to run them on research clusters. We propose Niffler, an integrated framework that enables the execution of ML pipelines at research clusters by ...

Residual Aligner Network [PDF]
, 2022 Image registration is important for medical imaging, the estimation of the spatial transformation between different images. Many previous studies have used learning-based methods for coarse-to-fine registration to efficiently perform 3D image registration.

Multimodal imaging of persistent left superior vena cava – case report [PDF]
, 2019 The persistent left superior vena cava is a rare vein anomaly and is encountered in 0.3-0.5% of the population, however, as these anomalies are usually asymptomatic, the prevalence is often underestimated1.

Estimation and Tracking of AP-diameter of the Inferior Vena Cava in Ultrasound Images Using a Novel Active Circle Algorithm [PDF]
In Computers in Biology and Medicine, vol. 98, pp. 16-25, July
2018, 2018 Medical research suggests that the anterior-posterior (AP)-diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and its associated temporal variation as imaged by bedside ultrasound is useful in guiding fluid resuscitation of the critically-ill patient. Unfortunately, indistinct edges and gaps in vessel walls are frequently present which impede accurate estimation
