Three-dimensional spine morphology measuring technology for daily surface monitoring / 生物医学工程学杂志

In order to conduct surface monitoring of the three-dimensional spine morphology of the human body in daily life, a spine morphology measuring method using "single camera, multi-view" to construct stereo vision is proposed. The images of the back of the human body with landmarks of spinous process are captured from multiple angles by moving a single camera, and based on the "Zhang Zhengyou calibration method" and the triangulation principle of binocular stereo vision, the spatial conversion matrices corresponding to each other between all images and the 3D coordinates of the landmarks are calculated. Then the spine evaluation angle used to evaluate the spine morphology is further calculated. The tests' results showed that the spine evaluation angle error of this method is within ±3°, and the correlation between the results and the X-ray film Cobb angles is 0.871. The visual detection algorithm used in this paper is non-radioactive, and because only one camera is used in the measurement process and there is no need to pre-set the camera's shooting pose, the operation is simple. The research results of this article can be used in a mobile phone-based intelligent detection system, which will be suitable for the group survey of scoliosis in communities, schools, families and other occasions, as well as for the long-term follow-up of confirmed patients. This will provide a reference for doctors to diagnose the condition, predict the development trend of the condition, and formulate treatment plans.

Submandibular gland resection via subclavian into the road under the endoscope / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective:To evaluate resection of submandibular gland through a minimal skin incision under the endoscope. Method:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data from 28 cases of submandibular gland resection by endoscope surgery via subclavian approach, 14 cases of preoperative diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma, submandibular gland of chronic inflammation in 11 cases, 3 cases of the submandibular gland stone,one case of lymphatic cyst,all cases were evaluated by preoperative imaging or 3 d sonography. Result:All patients' submandibular gland and tumors were resected totally under the endoscope, no open surgery, no surgical complications, and postoperative aesthetic outcome was good, patients were satisfied, pleomorphic adenoma patients were postoperative followed up of 4 to 24 months, and no recurrence. Conclusion:Under the cavity mirror via subclavian path submandibular gland resection is safe and feasible, and has a good cosmetic effect.
