Scoliosis curve type classification from 3D trunk image
(2012-02-23)
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a deformity of the spine manifested by asymmetry and deformities of the external surface of the trunk. Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used to ...
Prediction of scoliosis curve type based on the analysis of trunk surface topography
(2010-04)
Scoliosis treatment strategy is generally chosen according to the severity and type of the spinal curve. Currently, the curve type is determined from X-rays whose acquisition can be harmful for the patient. We propose in ...
Analysis of scoliosis trunk deformities using ICA
(2012-07-02)
This paper describes a method for analyzing scoliosis trunk deformities using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Our hypothesis is that ICA can capture the scoliosis deformities visible on the trunk. Unlike Principal ...
Simulation of the postoperative trunk appearance in scoliosis surgery
(IEEE, 2012-05-01)
Persistence of external trunk asymmetry after scoliosis surgical treatment is frequent and difficult to predict by clinicians. This is a significant problem considering that correction of the apparent deformity is a major ...
Towards Non Invasive Diagnosis of Scoliosis Using Semi-supervised Learning Approach
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010)
In this paper, a new methodology for the prediction of scoliosis curve types from non invasive acquisitions of the back surface of the trunk is proposed. One hundred and fifty-nine scoliosis patients had their back surface ...
Articulated Model Registration of MRI/X-Ray Spine Data
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010-06)
This paper presents a method based on articulated models for the registration of spine data extracted from multimodal medical images of patients with scoliosis. With the ultimate aim being the development of a complete ...
“When I Grow Up I Want to be a Doctor”: Promoting Atikamekw children’s interest for health professions through a book collection
(2015-06-20)
Introduction: Aboriginal peoples are underrepresented within the healthcare professions, and recruitment of Aboriginal students has become a priority for medical schools in Canada. Because of very low high-school completion ...
Are second language learners just as good at verb morphology as first language learners?
(Boston University Conference on Language Development, 2015)
We addressed whether children learning French as a first (L1) and multilingual children (MUL, for whom French is a second or third language) are sensitive to sub-regular verb conjugation patterns (i.e., neither default, ...
Health and literacy: the Mini-Med School and the Literacy Foundation working together to reach native children
(2016-05-18)
The Mini-Med School (MMS) aims to motivate Native children to stay in school, introduce them to the health professions and encourage them to have healthy living practices. As reading skills play a major role in student ...
