Automated Rod Length Measurements on Radiographs and Sonograms in Children with Early Onset Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2024
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) is a medical condition that is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine with vertebral rotation in children under age 10. Approximately 2-3% of children worldwide have scoliosis. Surgical intervention is the most effective management to treat these children who have...

Optimization of Electrical Interface for Vibration-based Energy Harvesters for Low Power Applications
DownloadSpring 2020
Badr, Ahmed Osman Abdel-Latif Ahmed
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) can be used to supply power to small electronic devices as the Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSNs). However, the harvested energy from the harvesters are usually little and needs to be stored into storage elements. A high-efficiency electrical interface with...

Spring 2011
Surgical correction of scoliosis is a complicated mechanical process. Understanding the loads applied to the spine and providing immediate feedback to surgeons during scoliosis surgery will prevent overloading, improve surgical outcome and patient safety. Long-term development of residual forces...
