Abstract (The abstract should not exceed 250 words. It should briefly summarize the essence of the paper and address the
following areas without using specific subsection titles.): Objective: Briefly state the problem or issue addressed, in language
accessible to a general scientific audience. Technology or Method: Briefly summarize the technological innovation or method
used to address the problem. Results: Provide a brief summary of the results and findings. Conclusions: Give brief concluding
remarks on your outcomes. Clinical Impact: Comment on the translational aspect of the work presented in the paper and its
potential clinical impact. Detailed discussion of these aspects should be provided in the main body of the paper.

(Note that the organization of the body of the paper is at the authors’ discretion; the only required sections are Introduction,
Methods and Procedures, Results, Conclusion, and References. Acknowledgements and Appendices are encouraged but
optional.)

Keywords—At least four keywords or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas. For a list of suggested keywords, send a
blank e-mail to keywords@ieee.org or visit http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/ani_prod/keywrd98.txt\

Note: There should no nonstandard abbreviations, acknowledgments of support, references or footnotes in in the abstract.
