Non-Contact Quantification of Swelling-Induced Deformation in Polymer Hydrogels Using Image Analysis
Abstract: Swelling of polymer hydrogels governs transport, mechanics, and functional performance in biomedical systems, yet it is often reported using bulk ratios that conceal spatially heterogeneous deformation and boundary-driven instabilities. This study presents a non-contact image-analysis framework to quantify swelling-induced deformation by tracking shape and boundary evolution from time-lapse imaging. The approach segments the hydrogel region, extracts a sub-pixel refined contour, and computes boundary displacement descriptors including mean and upper-percentile normal …

Image-Based Evaluation of Implant Tissue Interface Integrity in Polymer Orthopaedic Devices
Abstract: Polymer orthopedic implants offer radiolucency and mechanical compatibility with bone, but long-term success depends on maintaining a stable implant–tissue interface. Routine imaging is widely available for follow-up, yet interface integrity is commonly judged qualitatively, limiting early detection of fixation compromise and reducing comparability across devices and time points. This work presents an image-based methodology to quantify interface integrity by extracting interpretable interface descriptors from a standardized interface belt around the …
