Automated evaluation of surgeon technical performance
Published Wednesday, November 15, 2017The technical skills of a surgical resident are typically evaluated by experienced mentors during training. However, this process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and may involve evaluator biases. In an effort to standardize such technical evaluations, UMB researchers developed an automated, sensor-free...

Image Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cell MicroTentacles
Published Wednesday, October 4, 2017The study of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is of considerable interest because of their prognostic value and for therapeutic development. One interesting morphological aspect of CTCs is the presence of microtentacles. Microtenticles are protusions found on the CTCs that are thought to be critically important for...

Method and System for the Minimization of Expected Cost in Multi-Stage Review
Published Monday, September 18, 2017In civil litigation, e-discovery is the process by which a set of digital documents deemed “responsive” (i.e., relevant) to a certain topic need to be identified within a set of documents, and have to be produced by a producing party to a requesting party unless they are also “privileged” (i.e. contain sensitive information that legally allows...

eLVOTD: Estimation of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Diameter
Published Monday, May 15, 2017The left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTD) is one of two measurements needed to calculate cardiac stroke volume and cardiac output (CO). CO is an important measure of heart function and can help determine the need for inotropic support of the heart. In combination with mean arterial blood pressure, CO can also be used to determine the...

Balanced Reach Control Systems Model
Published Tuesday, May 2, 2017Bipedal standing balance is inherently unstable and must be actively controlled to prevent falling. This involves a complex interaction of the sensorimotor system and multi-segment musculoskeletal system. Fall risk increases with deterioration of sensorimotor and musculoskeletal elements responsible for balance due to age, neurological...

Prompt Gamma Imaging System for Proton Range Verification using a Compton Camera
Published Tuesday, April 11, 2017Range uncertainty in the exact position of the distal dose gradient of a proton beam delivered within a patient during radiotherapy (RT) can lead to underdosing of the tumor or to excessive dosing to adjacent healthy tissues or critical organs at risk. The unwanted side effects and complications due this uncertainty is...
