Photodynamic diagnosis is used during glioma surgery. Although some studies have shown that the spectrum of fluorescence was efficient for precise tumor diagnosis, previous methods to characterize the spectrum have been problematic, which can lead to misdiagnosis. In this paper, we introduce a comparison technique to characterize spectrum from pathology and results of preliminary measurement using human brain tissues. We developed a spectrum scanning system that enables spectra measurement of raw tissues. Because tissue preparations retain the shape of the device holder, spectra can be compared precisely with pathological examination. As a preliminary analysis, we measured 13 sample tissues from five patients with brain tumors. The technique enabled us to measure spectra and compare them with pathological results. Some tissues exhibited a good relationship between spectra and pathological results. Although there were some false positive and false negative cases, false positive tissue had different spectra in which intensity of short-wavelength side was also high. The proposed technique provides an accurate comparison of quantitative fluorescence spectra with pathological results. We found that spectrum analysis may reduce false positive errors. These results will increase the accuracy of tumor tissue identification.

Quantitative Analysis of Pleural Line and B-Lines in Lung Ultrasound Images for Severity Assessment of COVID-19 Pneumonia

Yuanyuan Wang, Yao Zhang, Qiong He, Hongen Liao, Jianwen Luo

Summary: In this study, specific patterns of lung ultrasound (LUS) images were analyzed to assess the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia. Features related to the pleural line (PL) and B-lines (BLs) were extracted from the images, and their correlations with disease severity were evaluated. The results showed that the thickness and roughness of the PL, as well as the number, accumulated width, and accumulated intensity of BLs, were significantly correlated with disease severity. The best classification performance was achieved using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier that utilized all the features as input.

Visualization, registration and tracking techniques for augmented reality guided surgery: a review

Longfei Ma, Tianqi Huang, Jie Wang, Hongen Liao

Summary: This paper reviews and analyzes the visualization, registration, and tracking techniques in augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation systems and their applications in different surgical fields. The types of AR visualization are classified into in situ and non in situ visualization, with various rendering contents. Registration methods include manual registration, point-based registration, surface registration, marker-based registration, and calibration-based registration. Tracking methods consist of self-localization, tracking with integrated cameras, external tracking, and hybrid tracking. The paper also discusses the challenges and future development trends of AR in surgical fields.

Video Based Cocktail Causal Container for Blood Pressure Classification and Blood Glucose Prediction

Chuanhao Zhang, Emil Jovanov, Hongen Liao, Yuan-Ting Zhang, Benny Lo, Yuan Zhang, Cuntai Guan

Summary: With the development of modern cameras, physiological signals can now be obtained from portable devices like smartphones. In this paper, a framework called cocktail causal container is proposed to fuse multiple physiological representations and reconstruct the correlation between frequency and temporal information for blood pressure and blood glucose classification. The framework utilizes a token feature fusion block and a causal net to extract discriminative features and disentangle latent factors. A pair-wise temporal frequency map is also developed for extracting PPG information. Extensive comparisons using clinical data and PPG-BP benchmark show promising results with low error rate and high precision.
