Condyle of femur (F) and tibia (T) are key bony landmarks around the knee joint. The condyles contour extraction is the first key step towards: quantification of femorotibial (FT) joint space width (JSW), to assess FT joint space narrowing (JSN), to determine knee joint alignment angles and in defining the lateral and medial condyle radii. This paper aims to contour extraction of femur and tibi...

This study evaluated the feasibility of utilizing a 3D-printed anthropomorphic patient-specific head phantom for patient-specific quality assurance (QA) in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Contoured left and right head phantoms were converted from DICOM to STL format. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) was used to construct an anthropomorphic patient-specific head phantom with a 3D printer...

We contribute with a publicly available repository of digital mammograms including both raw and preprocessed images. The study of mammographies is the most used and effective method to diagnose breast cancer. It is possible to improve quality of images for more accurate predictions of radiologists, by applying some preprocessing techniques. In this work we introduce a method for mammogram prepr...

A large number of medical images in digital format is generated by hospitals every day. It is acknowledged that medical image databases are a key component in diagnosis. The increasing trend towards digitization of medical images creates a need of technologies for storage, and retrieval of medical images. The paper discusses how to query the medical images and presented a medical images managem...

PURPOSE To compare two methods of creating three-dimensional representations of mandibular cysts and tumors on the basis of computed tomography (CT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. METHODS A total of 71 patients with acquired jaw cysts took part in this retrospective clinical study. CT and CBCT scans were obtained from all patients and saved in the Digital Imaging and Communica...

The Medical image database is growing day by day. There are various categories of medical images [1] such as CT scan, XRay, Ultrasound, Pathology, MRI, Microscopy, etc. Physicians compare previous and current medical images associated with patients to provide right treatment. Medical Imaging is playing a leading role in modern diagnosis. Efficient image retrieval tools are needed to retrieve th...

A research study was conducted to estimate and visualize 2D vectors of blood flow in the heart using image processing algorithms determine Doppler velocity at each point. The used secondary data from ten patients who provided informed consent, encompassing healthy unhealthy hearts. ECD were collected a Philips epiq 7C machine DICOM format. tasks, including area segmentation, analysis, smoothing...

Limitierender Faktor für hochpräzise, bildgestützte Eingriffe am Innenohr ist das Fehlen einer geeigneten klinischen Bildgebung, mit der filigrane Weichgewebsstrukturen neben knöchernen Strukturen hoch detailliert dargestellt werden können. In absehbarer Zeit stellen nur modellgestützte Ansätze einen Ausweg dar, diese Lücke der präoperativen Planung zu schließen. Daher wurde ein präzises Präpar...
