This paper is to develop a segmentation system in order to assist the surgeons for the treatment of certain illness such as lung cancer, and tumours.Lung cancer is one of the most frequently occurring cancer and it has a very low survival .Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) helps reducing the burden of radiation and improving the accuracy of abnormality detection during CT image interpretation. The...

Detection and segmentation of fissures is useful in the clinical interpretation of CT lung images to diagnose the presence of pathologies in the human lungs. A new automated method based on marker-based watershed transformation has been proposed to segment the fissures considering its unique structure as a long connected component. Marker based watershed transformation is applied and morphologi...

No.: +919154729399 E-Mail: [email protected] Introduction: Lungs are divided into lobes by the oblique and the transverse (horizontal) fissures. The fissures may be complete or incomplete and they may be absent. The fissures facilitate the move...

Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that can affect various systems of the body. It is caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis and other atypical mycobacterial species[1]. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common primary form of the disease. However it can occur in lymph nodes, meninges, kidneys, bones, skin and the oral cavity. Secondary tuberculosis occur...

This case is one of considerable rarity. The literature on pulmonary hamartomata is almost exclusively limited to the chrondromatous type, in which the cartilage is associated marginally and between fissures with various non-cartilaginous tissues. In these, muscle fibres do not occur very frequently. For example, in 31 cases reported by Rubin and Berkman (1952) strands of smooth muscle were an ...

IntroductionAnatomical variations of the lung lobes and fissures have implications in diagnostic radiology thoracic procedures. The prevalence these is not reported Sri Lanka. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on cadavers to assess morphological fissures. presence absence were addition describing completeness major ResultsA total 24 lungs 12 studied.

Iberus gualtieranus gualtieranus is an arid-dwelling land snail that needs to use karstic fissures as refuge in order to survive in arid environments. Karstic fissures are primarily on vertical rocky walls. Because displacement is costly to terrestrial gastropods, it is predictable that this snail will move on vertical substrates near its refuges. However, this species eats primarily phanerogam...

IN hypothyroidism, the palpebral fissures are generally narrowed, in striking contrast to the stare of Graves's disease. This narrowing of the palpebral fissures, which is attributed to the myxoedematous swelling of the eyelids, often gives a false impression of enophthalmos. True enophthalmos (i.e. backward displacement of the eye in the orbit) may occur in myxoedema (Lemoine, 1938), but seems...
