Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is an asymmetric flattening of the occiput, which can be caused by a preference for a sleeping position or a restriction of the head rotation. The absence of a standardized method to quantify the severity of DP is problematic, being the severity of the condition the main factor for the recommendation of a specific treatment. To improve the quality of assessment of DP and thanks ...
Renal ultrasound imaging is the primary imaging modality for the assessment of the kidney’s condition and is essential for diagnosis, treatment and surgical intervention planning, and follow-up. In this regard, kidney delineation in three-dimensional ultrasound images represents a relevant and challenging task in clinical practice. In this paper, a novel framework is proposed to accurately segment the kidney in...
Purpose: As a crucial step in accessing the kidney in several minimally invasive interventions, percutaneous renal access (PRA) practicality and safety may be improved through the fusion of computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) data. This work aims to assess the potential of a surface-based registration technique and establish an optimal US acquisition protocol to fuse 2D US and CT data for image-guided ...
