(コラム)

わたしが参考文献を読んでそこから着想を得るときにおこなっているやり方は、まずは想像力を最大限にたくましくしながら、図が何を言おうとしているかを感じて、つぎに説得力のあるストーリーを考えることです。最初に文章から読まないのがミソです、、、

①まず、文章は読まずに図がなにを言おうとしているのかを感じて、自分にとって納得のゆくストーリーを展開してみる。このとき、想像力を最大限にたくましくする。
②つぎに図の説明に該当する部分の文章をよむ。自分の想像したものと論文の文章のどこが同じで、どこが異なっているかを答えあわせのつもりでチェックする。
③②で想像と異なっているところが、案外、革新的なアイディアの着想につながることがあります(文章から呼んでしまうと、このプロセスがなくなって、着想を得る貴重な機会を逸してしまいます)。

わからないキーワードがあったら、まずはGoogleでキーワードを画像検索しましょう。自分にとって直観的にわかりやすい図をさがしましょう。人間は目から入った情報を文字を介さずそのまま直観的に理解してしまうのがもっとも思考経済の観点からお得です!

尿路結石を防ぐには

食品や飲み物から体内に取り入れられたシュウ酸は、小腸・大腸などの腸管から吸収されて血管に入り、腎臓を経由して尿管の中に出ます。腎臓から尿管・膀胱・尿道までの経路(尿路)の中で、尿の中に溶け込んでいるシュウ酸や尿酸などと、カルシウムとが結合したものが、丁度そこにあったゴミ(細胞の欠片や細菌など)を核にして結晶すると、尿路結石になります。一般的な尿路結石は、シュウ酸とカルシウムが結合したシュウ酸カルシウムが主な成分として形成されています。尿路結石の内、腎臓で出来た物が腎結石、尿管で出来た物が尿管結石、膀胱で出来れば膀胱結石となります。

Analysis of Kidney stone Detection by Reaction diffusion Level Set Segmentation and Xilinx System Generator}, in Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Advanced Research in Computer Science Engineering & Technology (ICARCSET 2015), no. 36, 2015.
The abnormalities of the kidney can be identified by ultrasound imaging has structural abnormalities like kidney swelling, change in its position appearance, formation of stones, cysts, cancerous cells, congenital anomalies and blockage of urine etc. For surgical operations it is very important to identify the exact and accurate location of stone in the kidney. The ultrasound images are of low contrast and contain speckle noise. This makes the detection of kidney abnormalities rather challenging task. Thus preprocessing of ultrasound images is carried out on Xilinx System generator (XSG) and implemented on Vertex-5 (XC5VLX50T) FPGA to remove speckle noise. In preprocessing, first image restoration is done to reduce speckle noise then it is applied to Gabor filter for smoothening. Next the resultant image is enhanced using convolution. The preprocessed ultrasound image is segmented using reaction diffusion (RD) level set segmentation (LSS), since it yields better results. it uses a two-step splitting methods to iteratively solve the RD-LSS equation, first step is iterating LSS equation, and then solving the diffusion equation. The second step is to regularize the level set function which is the obtained from first step for better stability. The RD is included for LSS for eliminating of anti-leakages on image boundary. The RD-LSS does not require any expensive re-initialization and it is very high speed of operation. The RD-LSS results are compared with distance regularized level set evolution (DRLSE1), DRLSE1 and DRLSE2. Extracted region of the kidney after segmentation is applied to Symlets, Biorthogonal (bio3.7, bio3.9 & bio4.4) and Daubechies wavelet subbands to extract energy levels. These energy level gives an indication about presence of stone in that particular location which significantly vary from that of normal energy level. These energy levels are trained by Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Back Propagation (BP) ANN to identify the type of stone with an accuracy of 99.1%.

FUTURA is a European seventh research framework programme project aimed at creating an innovative platform for Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS). Merging robotics together with noninvasive ultrasound monitoring and therapy has the goal to improve flexibility, precision and accuracy of the intervention, thus enabling a large use of FUS for the treatment of different pathologies. The FUTURA platform, based on FUS therapy under US tracking, has been set up with the first clinical target of kidney cancer treatment. Experiments for assessing the accuracy of the FUS delivery with the FUTURA platform have been carried out under in vitro static conditions and presented here as preliminary outcomes of this study.

Optimal synthesis of a spherical parallel mechanism for medical application
This paper introduces the design and the optimization of a probe holder robot for tele-echography applications. To define its kinematic architecture, an approach based on motion capture of an expert's gestures during ultrasound examinations was proposed. The medical gestures analyzed consisted of ultrasound probe movements and were used to characterize the kinematic specifications of the proposed manipulator. The selected architecture was a Spherical Parallel Mechanism (SPM) with 3 degrees of freedom (DoF) and its optimal synthesis was performed using real-coded Genetic Algorithms (GA). The optimization criteria and constraints were established thanks to the collaboration of medical experts and were successively formulated and solved using mono-objective and multi-objective functions.

This paper presents a three dimensional ultrasound (3DUS)-based visual servoing technique for intraoperative tracking of the motion of both surgical instruments and tissue targets. In the proposed approach, visual servoing techniques are used to control the position of a virtual ultrasound probe so as to keep a target centered within the virtual probe's field-of-view. Multiple virtual probes can be servoed in parallel to provide simultaneous tracking of instruments and tissue. The technique is developed in the context of robotic beating-heart intracardiac surgery in which the goal of tracking is to both provide guidance to the operator as well as to provide the means to automate the surgical procedure. To deal with the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the 3DUS volumes, an intensity-based method is proposed that requires no primitive extraction or image segmentation since it directly utilizes the image intensity information as a visual feature. This approach is computationally efficient and can be applied to a wide range of tissue types and medical instruments. This paper presents the first validation of these techniques through offline robot and tissue tracking using actual in vivo cardiac volume sequences from a robotic beating-heart surgery.

The next generation of telesurgical robotics systems presents significant challenges related to network performance and data security. It is known that packet transmission in wide area networks is a complex stochastic process; thus, low bandwidth as well as high delay, jitter, and packet loss will greatly affect the quality of service (QoS) of teleoperation control, which is unacceptable in this kind of sensitive application.

In this paper, two kinematic structures with optimized spherical wrist modules are proposed for the practice of tele-echography through a new slave holder robot for a remote ultrasound diagnostic application. The medical gestures, performed during an ultrasound examination, are analyzed using two different techniques. The results are used in the definition of the robot kinematic structure specifications. The proposed medical robot is formed by two modules, a spherical displacement orientation module and a translation module, to control the interaction force between the probe and the patient. Multicriteria optimization is proposed and is applied to two spherical structures: one serial and one parallel. Workspace size and kinematic performance, in addition to the index of compactness of the manipulator, are considered in the optimization. The efficiency of the optimized kinematic structures across their workspace is studied and compared to determine which one is more adapted to the tele-echography application.

Variable Joint-Velocity Limits of Redundant Robot Manipulators Handled by Quadratic Programming

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (Impact Factor: 3.14). 01/2013; 18(2):674-686. DOI: 10.1109/TMECH.2011.2181977
ABSTRACT In this paper, a variable joint-velocity limits (VJVL)-constrained minimum-velocity-norm (MVN) scheme (termed VJVL-constrained MVN scheme) is proposed and investigated for redundant manipulators, i.e., the JVL change with the end-effector and joints movement. The scheme is then formulated as a quadratic program (QP), which is subject to an equality constraint and a bound constraint, and such a QP problem is solved by a discrete QP solver, i.e., a numerical algorithm. In addition, experimental results performed on a planar six degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) push-rod (PR) redundant robot manipulator substantiate the physical realizability and efficacy of such a VJVL-constrained MVN scheme and the corresponding discrete QP solver. Furthermore, the position-error analyses verify the accuracy of the proposed scheme on redundant manipulators.

 K Viswanath, R Gunasundari, Analysis and Implementation of Kidney Stone Detection by Reaction Diffusion Level Set Segmentation using Xilinx System Generator on FPGA

 The detection of kidney stones using Ultrasound imaging is a highly challenging task as they are of low contrast and contains speckle noise. This challenge is overcome by employing suitable image processing techniques. The ultrasound image is first preprocessed to get rid of speckle noise using the image restoration process. The restored image is smoothened using Gabor filter and the subsequent image is enhanced by histogram equalization. The preprocessed image is achieved with level set segmentation to detect the stone region. Segmentation process is employed twice for getting better results, first to segment kidney portion and then to segment the stone portion respectively. In this work, the level set segmentation uses two terms namely momentum and resilient propagation (Rprop) to detect the stone portion. After segmentation, the extracted region of the kidney stone is given to Symlets, Biorthogonal (bio3.7, bio3.9 & bio4.4) and Daubechies lifting scheme wavelet subbands to extract energy levels. These energy levels provide evidence about presence of stone, by comparing them with that of the normal energy levels. They are trained by Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Back Propagation (BP) ANN to classify and its type of stone with an accuracy of 98.8%. The prosed work is designed and real time implemented on both Filed Programmable Gate Array Vertex-2Pro FPGA using Xilinx System Generator (XSG) Verilog and Matlab2012a.

K Viswanath, R Gunasundari, VLSI Implementation and Analysis of Kidney Stone Detection from Ultrasound Image by Level Set Segmentation and MLP-BP ANN Classification, Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, Springer, 2016
Abstract In recent years, there is an increase in the count of individuals suffering from kidney abnormalities. Kidney stone prevalence has increased both in men and women, across all age groups, racial/ethnic groups. According to the recent statisticscal report, the vulnerability of kidney stone abnormality even surpasses the effects of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke. This inflicts a need for early detection and accurate diagnosis of kidney stones. Urologists undergo enormous stress at the time of surgery related to stone removal in order to precisely locate the stones, which may be scattered. Kidney abnormality may also indicate the formation of stones, cysts, cancerous cells, and blockage of urine, etc. Currently available scanning approaches in hospitals such as Ultrasound (US) imaging, MRI, and CT scanners, do not help in easy and quick diagnosis of the minute stones in the initial stage, as well as multiple stones present in the scanned images due to low contrast and speckle noise. Thus, to remove speckle noise in ultrasound images preprocessing is applied. Reaction and diffusion (RD) level set segmentation is applied two times, first to the segment kidney portion and second to segment the stone portion. The extracted region of the kidney stone after segmentation is applied with Symlets, Biorthogonal, and Daubechies lifting scheme wavelet subbands with higher vanishing moments to extract energy levels. These energy levels give an indication about the presence of stone, which significantly vary from that of normal energy level. These energy levels are trained by multilayer perceptron (MLP) and back propagation (BP) ANN to identify the type of stone with an accuracy of 97.8 % and real time implementation is done using Verilog on Vertex-2Pro FPGA.

A microwave imaging system for real-time 3-D imaging of differential temperature has been developed for the monitoring and feedback of thermal therapy systems. Design parameters are constrained by features of a prototype-focused microwave thermal therapy system for the breast, operating at 915 MHz. Real-time imaging is accomplished with a precomputed linear inverse scattering solution combined with continuous vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements of a 36-antenna, HFSS-modeled, cylindrical cavity. Volumetric images of differential change of dielectric constant due to temperature are formed with a refresh rate as fast as 1 frame/s and 1  $^circ$C resolution. Procedures for data segmentation and postprocessed S-parameter error-correction are developed. Antenna pair VNA calibration is accelerated by using the cavity as the unknown thru standard. The device is tested on water targets and a simple breast phantom. Differentially heated targets are successfully imaged in cluttered environments. The rate of change of scattering contrast magnitude correlates 1:1 with target temperature.

The process of fabrication of a nanotheranostic system has multiple components, with each components having unique properties and advantages. For example, a signal emitter emits a signal upon excitation by external source. The therapeutic moiety can be a drug,, gene, or nucleic acid, such as small interfering RNA. The nanocarrier is a polymetric carrier capable of carrying a high drug payload.

The targeting ligand  is the entity that can blind to a disease marker with high specificity, so as to deliver the entire system to the target cell. The response of a signal emitter can be captured in real time y non-invasive imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and ultrasound.
