Model-to-Image Registration via Deep Learning towards Image-Guided Endovascular Interventions

Cardiologists highlight the need for an intra-operative 3D visualization to assist interventions. The intra-operative 2D X-ray/Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) images in the standard clinical workflow limit cardiologists’ views significantly. Compared with image-to-image registration, model-to-image registration is an essential approach...

StimTrack: An open-source software for manual transcranial magnetic stimulation coil positioning

Background During Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) experiments researchers often use a neuronavigation system to precisely and accurately maintain coil position and orientation. New method This study aimed to develop and validate an open-source software for TMS coil navigation. StimTrack uses an optical tracker and an intuitive user...

Intra and inter-session reliability of rapid Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation stimulus-response curves of tibialis anterior muscle in healthy older adults

Objective: The clinical use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a technique to assess corticospinal excitability is limited by the time for data acquisition and the measurement variability. This study aimed at evaluating the reliability of Stimulus-Response (SR) curves acquired with a recently proposed rapid protocol on tibialis...
