T2* measurement with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been established as an effective and non-invasive technique for evaluating iron content in the liver. However, different factors related to the adopted image processing criterion affect the resulting measurements. These factors include the exponential fitting model (single exponential, bi-exponential, or exponential + constant) and the size and location of the selected region of interest and whether it includes vasculature, susceptibility artifacts, or is close to the liver boundary. In this study, we investigate the effects of these various factors on T2* measurement using calibrated phantoms with different amounts of iron as well as on patients with different degrees of iron overload. The results show various degrees of similarities and differences between different processing techniques, which should be known by the operator for better selection of the image processing parameters and proper interpretation of the resulting measurements.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"290 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133265076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, these pathologies are painful and correspond with high or abnormal plantar pressure, which can result in asymmetry between the feet during pathological gait. These problems, if left untreated, can escalate to severe plantar injury. The diagnosis of plantar pressure abnormalities can be unreliable, particularly when using the traditional methods based predominately on simple qualitative clinical screenings. It is therefore imperative for the early intervention and prevention of plantar injury, by reliably detecting plantar pressure abnormalities. This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying an artificial neural network (ANN) in identifying, and correctly classifying plantar pressure asymmetry during control (healthy) and pathological gait. The results achieved using ANN classifier models applied to the plantar pressure asymmetry of 47 participants has demonstrated good network ability in differentiating healthy and pathological gait. The models' generalisation performance achieved classification accuracies between 87-100%. Such an automated foot pressure-based recognition model may prove to be useful for classification and diagnosis of other foot pathologies such as ulceration risk in the diabetic foot.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132814505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a 6LowPAN based U-healthcare platform that contributes to the realization of the above expectation. The proposed system comprises two sensor nodes sending temperature data and ECG signals to a remote processing unit. These sensors are being assigned an IPv6 address to enable the Internet-of-Things (IoT) functionality. A 6LowPAN-enabled edge router, connected to a PC, is serving as a base station through a serial interface, to collect data from the sensor nodes. Furthermore, a program interfacing through a Serial-Line-Internet-Protocol (SLIP) and running on the PC provides a network interface that receives IPv6 packets from the edge router. The above system is enhanced by having the application save readings from the sensors into a file that can be downloaded by a remote server using a free Cloud service such as UbuntuOne. This enhancement makes the system robust against data loss especially for outdoor healthcare services, where the 3G/4G connectivity may get lost because of signal quality fluctuations. The system provided a proof of concept of successful remote U-healthcare monitoring illustrating the IoT functionality and involving 3G/4G connectivity while being enhanced by a cloud-based backup.","PeriodicalId":384055,"journal":{"name":"2nd Middle East Conference on Biomedical Engineering","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126904275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
