This thesis investigates the use of deep learning for classifying wound infections from photographic images, using colony-forming unit (CFU) counts as a quantitative labeling standard. Leveraging the visual information in wound photographs and the clinical relevance of bacterial burden, the study implements a multi-task U-Net architecture for both image reconstruction and binary classification in a […]
Join us in learning more about Rust, one of the fastest-growing programming languages, which continues to be ranked the most-loved language by its users. Its user base, aka “Rustaceans,” has […]
Accurate assessment of wound healing progress is critical for optimizing patient care and preventing complications, yet clinicians currently lack precise tools to determine where a wound stands in the healing timeline. Wound healing progresses through overlapping stages of inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, each marked by characteristic shifts in gene expression that are difficult to interpret […]
WiFi-based indoor positioning is a widely researched area focused on determining the location of devices. Accurate indoor positioning has numerous applications, including asset tracking and indoor navigation. Despite advances, their adoption in practice remains limited due to several challenges such as environmental changes that cause signal fading, multipath effects, and interference, all of which reduce […]
The presence of coronary artery calcification is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events where cardiac risk categories are quantified depending on calcification size. Dual-energy chest X-rays provide high contrast visualization to improve opportunistic screening for quantifying coronary artery calcifications, determining bone mineral density (i.e., osteoporosis) and characterizing lung lesions. As a dual-energy imaging modality, […]
