Image analysis is an image processing technique that aims to extract features or information from images. Image analysis in medicine has a special place because is a basis for disease diagnosis for physicians. Electrophoresis is a laboratory separating technique. Electrophoresis images are created during the electrophoresis process. Serum protein and hemoglobin electrophoresis test are the ...

Department of Psycholgy Texting while driving is a disturbingly common habit; however, the impact of texting on driving performance and effective approaches to counteract its risks are still not well understood. This study utilizes the Lane Change Task and smartphone technologies to capture driving and texting behaviors in a simulated driving environment. Data show that driving and texting...

PURPOSE Variability in computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MR) cranial image registration was assessed using a benchmark case developed by the Quality Assurance Review Center to credential institutions for participation in Children's Oncology Group Protocol ACNS0221 for treatment of pediatric low-grade glioma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Two DICOM image sets, an MR and a CT of the sa...

We investigated the effect of joint immobilization on the postural sway during quiet standing. We hypothesized that the center of pressure (COP), rambling, and trembling trajectories would be affected by joint immobilization. Ten young adults stood on a force plate during 60 s without and with immobilized joints (only knees constrained, CK; knees and hips, CH; and knees, hips, and trunk, CT), w...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this work was to understand the relationship between eye movements and cognitive workload in maintaining lane position while driving. BACKGROUND Recent findings in driving research have found that, paradoxically, increases in cognitive workload decrease lateral position variability. If people drive where they look and drivers look more centrally with increased cogni...

In this thesis the lateral performance of heavy vehicle combinations, specifically longer combination vehicles, is discussed. The use of longer combination vehicles is promoted by their positive impact on the traffic congestion problem, as well as their economic and environmental benefits due to reduced fuel consumption and emissions. However, from a safety perspective, ther...

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of various studies which have been made concerning lateral placement of vehicles on rural roads. The term “lateral placement,” as it is used throughout this report, is construed to mean the position of the vehicle on the road in relation to either the right edge of the pavement or to the centerline of the road. Only two-lane roads will be cons...

This paper presents a lane-departure identification (LDI) system of a traveling vehicle on a structured road with lane marks. As is the case with modified version of the previous EDFbased LDI approach [J.W. Lee, A machine vision system for lane-departure detection, CVIU 86 (2002) 52–78], the new system increases the number of lane-related parameters and introduces departure ratios to determine ...

Background DaVinci presentation is a physician friendly picture of scoliotic spine seen from the cephalad side in the horizontal plane. This presentation is complementary to the standard view of the spine in two planes: frontal (anterior-posterior) and sagittal (lateral). DaVinci presentation can be obtained by using a few techniques which allow for three-dimensional reconstructions: CT, MRI, E...
