Deep Learning-Based Automatic Detection and Classification of Rib Fractures from CT scans

Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...

operational transitions in railway infrastructure

Technological innovations in the Dutch railway sector, such as ERTMS and the 3kV power supply system make it possible to increase the efficiency, effectivity and speed of the railway system in the upcoming decades. The implementation of systems such as ERTMS and 3kV is a lengthy process. The new systems will therefore operate alongside the old...

Collision risk assessment in coastal waters

The amount of international shipped cargo grows steadily, and seas are exploited for seabed mining and energy production more than ever. As a result, there is an increase in traffic density and decrease in free navigational space, potentially causing a higher incidence of dangerous navigation situations that may lead to ship collisions. This...

Human control and monitoring-models and experiments

This paper deals with the resiilts of a theoretical and experimental program concerning human monitoring behavior. Apart from monitoring an automatic approach combined monitoring and manual flight director control was studied to determine the interference between subtasks. Also simultaneously monitoring and auditory tracking was included. The...
