Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy: Prediction of complications using fuzzy logic
( IEEE , 2011 , Article)Introduction: Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown to be associated with a relatively high complication rate (16.4%-34%) compared with standard neurosurgical procedures (2%-5%). Most ... -
Fuzzy prediction of complications in craniopathy
( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure in which part of the skull is removed to allow a swelling brain room to expand. It is a life-saving procedure used in the treatment of medically refractory intracranial ... -
Fun to learn: Project-based learning in robotics for computer engineers
( Association for Computing Machinery , 2011 , Article)This article shares my experiences with the project-based methodology of teaching the same material that a standard text in robotics would teach and will comparatively elaborate the improvement observed in the group of ... -
Blind restoration of fluorescein angiography images
( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from Fluorescein Angiography (FA) of the retina. One of the main steps in inspecting the eye (especially the deeper image of retina) is to ... -
Fuzzy detection of critical cardiac abnormalities using ECG data: A ubiquitous approach
( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Electrocardiogram (ECG) based health diagnosis of cardiac diseases has been a saturated area of research and almost any known heart-condition can be detected and diagnosed by doctors in the hospital setting. However, these ... -
