SEGMENT3D: A Web-based Application for Collaborative Segmentation of 3D images used in the Shoot Apical Meristem

A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...

THE EFFECTS OF SALT STRESS ON THE SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM AND LEAF GENIERATION IN SUNFLOWER (HELIANTNUS ANNUUS L.)

Sunflower (Helictnthur annuus L. cvs Mehr Shafagh) seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions containing 20.5 to 70.4 mM NaCl and 0 as the control. The effects of salinity on developmental changes occurring in the shoot apices of plants were studied. At 20.5 mM NaCI concentration, the leaf emergence rate and plastochron index of Shafagh increased significantly, but this phenomenon was not o...

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE CHANGES IN SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM OF SAFFRON CROCUS DURING THE PERIOD OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage in the Echocardiographic Images of the Heart Using a Deep Neural Network

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in today’s industrial world. Occlusion of left atrial appendage (LAA) using the manufactured devices is a growing trend. The objective of this study was to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for the identification of LAA in echocardiographic images. Method: The data used in this descriptive analytical study ...

Extraction and 3D Segmentation of Tumors-Based Unsupervised Clustering Techniques in Medical Images

Introduction The diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in medical images require accuracy, experience, and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. Materials and Methods We Received 290 medical images composed of 120 mammographic images, LJPEG format, scanned in gray-scale with 50 microns size, 110 MRI images including of T1-Wighted, T...
