introduction: although proximal dental caries are very common, clinical examinations cannot detect them all. panoramic radiography has been widely used in dentistry for both diagnosis and screening. this study aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of two digital panoramic radiography techniques in the diagnosis of proximal caries. methods: a total number of 60 patients referred to a den...

objective(s): a novel iq-specttm method has become widely used in clinical studies. the present study compares the quality of myocardial perfusion images (mpi) acquired using the iq-specttm (iq-mode),conventional (180° apart: c-mode) and l-mode (90° apart: l-mode) systems. we assessed spatial resolution, image reproducibility and quantifiability using various physical phantoms. materials and me...

We propose a nonlinear partial differential equation to control the trade-off between smoothing and segmentation of images. Its solutions approximate discontinuities, thus leading to detection of sharp boundaries in images. The performance of the approach is evaluated by applying it to images obtained by the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS), 70μm imaging band.

Abstract Crustal deformation occurs both as localized slip along faults and distributed off of faults. While there are few robust estimates off‐fault in nature, scaled physical experiments simulating crustal strike‐slip faulting allow direct measurement the ratio fault to regional deformation, quantified kinematic efficiency (KE). We offer an approach predict KE using a 2D convolutional neural ...
