The current clinical standard for hematoma detection – the focused assessment with sonography of trauma (FAST) exam – does not aim to detect ongoing blood loss, and thus is unable to detect injuries of increasing severity. To enhance detection of active bleeding, we propose the use of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), together with a novel flow phantom and contrast-sensitive processing techniques, to facilitate efficient, practical characterization of internal bleeding. Within a the custom phantom, UCAs and processing techniques enabled a significant enhancement of the hemorrhage visualization (mean increase in generalized contrast-to-noise ratio of 17%) compared to the contrast-free case over a range of flow rates up to 40 ml/min. Moreover, we have shown that the use of UCAs improves the probability of detection: the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for a flow rate of 40 ml/min was 0.99, compared to 0.72 without contrast. We also demonstrate how additional processing of the spatial and temporal information further localizes the bleeding site. UCAs also enhanced Doppler signals over the non-contrast case. These results show that specialized nonlinear processing (NLP) pipelines together with UCAs may offer an efficient means to improve substantially the detection of slower hemorrhages and increase survival rates for trauma-induced injury in pre-hospital settings.","PeriodicalId":33825,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology","volume":"5 ","pages":"877-884"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10561886","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A software tool was developed to determine the theoretical optimal position (TOP) of the transducer based on the minimization of a cost function using the particle swarm optimization (PSO). After an initialization phase and a manual segmentation of the abdomen of 5 pigs, the program randomly generates particles with 2 degrees of freedom and iteratively minimizes the cost function of the particles considering 3 parameters weighted according to their criticality.

Radar placed in a home or assisted living facility can acquire continuous ambulatory recordings over extended durations of a subject's natural gait and activity. Thus, radar-based QGA has the potential to capture day-to-day variations in gait, is time efficient and removes the burden for the subject to come to a clinic, providing a more realistic picture of older adults’ mobility. Although there has been research on gait-related health monitoring, most of this work focuses on classification-based methods, while only a few consider gait parameter estimation. On the one hand, metrics that are accurately and easily computable from radar data have not been demonstrated to have an established correlation with fall risk or other medical conditions; on the other hand, the accuracy of radar-based estimates of gait parameters that are well-accepted by the medical community as indicators of fall risk have not been adequately validated. This paper provides an overview of emerging radar-based techniques for gait parameter estimation, especially with emphasis on those relevant to fall risk. A pilot study that compares the accuracy of estimating gait parameters from different radar data representations – in particular, the micro-Doppler signature and skeletal point estimates – is conducted based on validation against an 8-camera, marker-based optical tracking system. The results of pilot study are discussed to assess the current state-of-the-art in radar-based QGA and potential directions for future research that can improve radar-based gait parameter estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":33825,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology","volume":"5 ","pages":"735-749"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10546280","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
