Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) to predict successful embryo development in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Materials and Methods: We prospectively studied 28 patients undergoing IVF treatment, using 3D ultrasound Sono automatic volume calculation (AVC) and a 3...

Flow unit characterization plays an important role in heterogeneity analysis and reservoir simulation studies. Usually, a correct description of the lateral variations of reservoir is associated with uncertainties. From this point of view, the well data alone does not cover reservoir properties. Because of large well distances, it is difficult to build the model of a heterogenic reservoir, but ...

49 A n elegant and versatile technique, line integral convolution (LIC) 1,2 represents directional information via patterns of correlation in a texture. Although most commonly used to depict 2D flow, or flow over a surface in 3D, LIC methods can also portray 3D flow through a volume. 1,3 However, the popularity of LIC as a device for illustrating 3D flow has historically been limited by the com...

Background To determine hemodynamic parameters from 4D flow MRI, vessel boundaries are typically depicted by calculating a 3D phase contrast MR angiogram (PC-MRA) from 4D flow magnitude and flow images. However, this approach is limited by 1) low blood-tissue contrast of the magnitude images and 2) velocity weighting of PC-MRA may not fully depict areas of slow or swirling (vortex) flow. As a r...

Many of today’s manufacturing projects are so complex that they cannot be conducted only by one company anymore. Current approaches for modeling inter-enterprise processes require an early decision on the way activities are connected. The modeler has to decide between control flow and message flow. This implies an early decision on the used IT-technology. We present a modeling approach where th...
