Digital Surface Models (DSMs) can assist building change detection in a variety of approaches. Limited to the quality of DSMs from satellite stereo imagery, it is hard to reach precise change detection results using only DSMs. Therefore, DSMs should be used in combination with the spectral information from original stereo imagery. For that purpose, two fusion based methods, one using feature le...

Objective: To investigate the safety profile of image-guided drainage using the trocar technique. Methods: The medical records of 93 patients undergoing image-guided drainage procedures using the trocar technique at a local regional hospital from September 2004 to December 2006 were reviewed. Results: There were no incidences of significant neurovascular or adjacent organ damage. Conclusion: In...

Image-guided tumor ablation for lung malignancies has emerged as a treatment modality for medically inoperable patients. Overall, image-guided lung tumor ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that has an acceptable safety profile and less impact on lung function. This is important for patients with poor pulmonary and/or cardiac functions or with multiple comorbidities, which prevent them f...
