    Background: In rehabilitation medicine, efficient gait analysis is crucial for evaluating postoperative recovery and frailty, especially given the increasing burden on clinicians due to an aging population. Objectives: This study aims to conduct preliminary validation of an automated linear walking evaluation system using 2D AI posture tracking. By evaluating the basic accuracy of the system on healthy individuals, we aim to establish a technical foundation for future introduction into clinical rehabilitation settings. Methods: In this observational study, we utilized a standard visible light camera for practical use. To evaluate accuracy, we compared 2D AI tracking against a gold-standard three-dimensional (3D) motion capture system during normal walking trials with 10 healthy participants. Specifically, we employed Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to temporally align the asynchronous data streams from the 2D and 3D systems, ensuring precise comparison of joint angles. Results: Following the DTW-based alignment, the similarity with the 3D system was 0.806 ± 0.094 overall (Left: 0.797 ± 0.101, Right: 0.814 ± 0.086). Conclusions: In this preliminary validation, the proposed 2D AI posture tracking showed good agreement with the gold standard 3D motion capture for gait in healthy individuals. While the average systematic bias was within clinically acceptable limits, the observed limits of agreement suggest that this system is currently optimal as a foundational tool for gait screening. These results establish a technical foundation for the clinical application of this system.

    <p>In recent years, the trend of people marrying later in life has been significantly increasing. In the US, 60% of married women in their 40s reportedly have infertility. In half of these cases, a female factor is the cause. As a consequence, infertility treatments are widely performed. One such treatment is in-vitro fertilization. This technique directly removes a follicle from the ovary and ovum is fertilized it with sperm under a microscope by embryologist. Ovulation inducers can stimulate the growth of 10 to 15 follicles. However, 20% to 30% usually contain vacuoles and do not support ovary growth. In some cases, ova that are as much as 90% vacuolated do support ovary growth[1]. It thus cannot be determined whether a follicle has an ovum or is vacuolated unless the follicle is examined under a microscope. Consequently, it is useful to determine in advance whether a follicle has an ovum because follicle collection is painful for the woman. However, to date, a non-invasive method of identifying vacuolated ova does not exist. Therefore, we herein propose a method using ultrasound to determine whether a follicle has an ovum.</p>

    In order to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for neonatal cerebral disorders, some methods of brain segmentation from MR images using atlas model have been studied. As neonatal cerebrum deforms quickly by natural growth, single model cannot represent growth model properly. Due to the variation of newborn brain growth even at same age, age based model will not give appropriate result. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating growth index using manifold learning and generating fuzzy object growth model (FOGM). Brain anatomical landmarks are used for manifold learning. In addition, we propose a fuzzy connectedness segmentation method using FOGM to segment the brain region. In comparison with the previous single model based method, the proposed method improved the segmentation accuracy by using FOGM.

    To develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for neonatal cerebral disorders, some literatures have shown atlas-based methods for segmenting parenchymal region in MR images. Because neonatal cerebrum deforms quickly by natural growth, we desire an atlas growth model. This paper proposes two methods for generating fuzzy object growth model (FOGM), which is an extension of fuzzy object model (FOM). The first method generates a growth-index weighted FOM in which the index is calculated from age. Because the growth index will be different from person to person even though the same age, the second method estimates the growth-index from MR images using manifold learning. To evaluate the proposed methods, we segment the parenchymal region of 16 neonatal subjects (revised age; 0-2 years old). The results showed that FOGM was superior to FOM, and manifold learning based method gave the best accuracy. And, the growth index estimated with manifold learning was significantly correlated with both of age and cerebral volume (p&lt;0.001).

    MR image registration (IR) has been used in brain function analysis, voxel-based-morphometry, etc. The conventional IR methods mainly use MR signal based likelihood. However, they cannot prevent miss registration of different gyri because they do not evaluate correspondence of sulci. Also, we cannot directly apply methods for adult brain to neonatal brain because there are large differences in MR signal and sulcal width. This paper introduces a new feature called sulcal-distribution index (SDI) which is calculated from MR signal around the cerebral surface. Next, we propose a non-rigid 3D IR method using flattening with SDI. The likelihood used is mutual information of SDI. The new method evaluates the correspondence of cerebral sulci in IR. And, the method will be effective for neonatal brain in which the accurate delineation of cerebral surface is difficult because the method evaluates the MR signal around the cerebral surface. Results in 3 neonates (modified age; 3-5 weeks) showed the decrease of the angle between vectors of feature point direction.

    This paper describes fuzzy evaluation method for criteria dependency in human health conditions by changing medical checkup reference. In our previous paper, we proposed an evaluation method based on fuzzy logic for health checkup data. This method converted health checkup data into fuzzy normal degree to evaluate multivariate data. We defined the fuzzy normal degree as an attribute value in closed interval [0, 1] by using fuzzy membership function which was defined by diagnostic criteria. Furthermore, total health indices which are defined by operation of the fuzzy normal degrees are treated as the same scale. These indices can express human health conditions in health checkup result using fuzzy set. In this paper, to investigate fuzzy normal degrees by changing to new reference interval, we employ new reference interval and form new diagnostic criteria, and visualized health changes by calculating the total health indices using our proposed method. As the result, we succeeded in visualizing health change by fuzzy normal degree and fuzzy health indices, and confirmed quantitatively that disease patients decrease by changing to new reference interval.

    This paper describes fuzzy average difference imaging for ultrasonic nondestructive testing. In our experiment, we employ a piece of wind turbine blade as a specimen. The specimen has holes on back side as artificial damages. We acquire ultrasonic waveforms from scanning lines on surface of the specimen using an ultrasonic single probe. We make cross-section images of the specimen by correcting the each scanning line wave data. We set scanning lines so that specimen constructions under the lines are same each other. Therefore the images show same construction of inside of the specimen, we can enhance the damage echoes by using average difference imaging. To extract the damage echoes from the images, we applied damage extraction method aided by fuzzy logic and average difference imaging. As the results, we found the line image with all damage portions, and we estimated depth of damage surface with high accuracy. Therefore fuzzy average difference imaging showed effectiveness for extracting difference potions on similar images.

    This paper proposes human movement trajectory (HMT) extraction system and a state of people estimation system by thermopile array sensors. In our systems, sensors are attached at the ceiling and acquire thermal distribution, which are two-dimensional temperatures. The system distinguishes humans, object and others by fuzzy inference based on human characteristics, such as body temperature and movement. Each human is classied by the connected-component labeling. In the HMT extraction system, it extracts HMT as label centroids trajectory. In the state of people estimation system, it distinguishes adjoining people based on shape of human distribution in label image and estimates the number of human as the number of labels. In the HMT extraction experiment, we employed an adult and he performed 15 movements. As the results, the system successfully extracted HMTs with 78[%] accuracy and positional error was 21.5[cm]. In the state estimation experiment, we employed 4 adults and they performed 4 movements. As the results, the system successfully estimated the number of humans with 52[%] accuracy.
