Transcranial brain atlas‐based optimization for functional near‐infrared spectroscopy optode arrangement: Theory, algorithm, and application

Optimization of a four-coil array arrangement for brain therapy by MR-guided transcranial focused ultrasounds

A particularly critical issue for brain therapy with transcranial high-power focused ultrasound (HIFU) is to optimize the accuracy and rapidity of the temperature follow-up during the heating. MRI is a well-suited candidate for temperature monitoring since it offers several parameters such as the proton resonance frequency shift. Up-to-now, temperature scans were achieved using the standard bod...

Bundled-Optode Method in Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

In this paper, a theory for detection of the absolute concentrations of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR) from hemodynamic responses using a bundled-optode configuration in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is proposed. The proposed method is then applied to the identification of two fingers (i.e., little and thumb) during their flexion and extension. This experiment i...

Intelligent application for Heart disease detection using Hybrid Optimization algorithm

Prediction of heart disease is very important because it is one of the causes of death around the world. Moreover, heart disease prediction in the early stage plays a main role in the treatment and recovery disease and reduces costs of diagnosis disease and side effects it. Machine learning algorithms are able to identify an effective pattern for diagnosis and treatment of the disease and ident...

Targeted Marketing in Herbal Medicine; Application for Grounded Theory and K- Mean Algorithm

One of the major industries to meet the expansion goals in human, social, and economic aspects is herbal medicine. Marketing department, producers, and entrepreneurs play an important role in applying potentials in this industry, but, as herbal medicine scholars argue, herbal medicine market share in Iran is less than 4 percent. This might be due to neglecting executive targeted marketing. The ...
