Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most life-threatening conditions among women. Early detection of this disease is the only way to reduce the associated mortality rate. Mammography is a standard method for the early detection of breast cancer. Today, considering the importance of breast cancer detection, computer-aided detection techniques have been employed to increase the quality of ma...

This paper will examine the technical issues relating to the feasibility of using Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) techniques to automatically identify, localize, and accurately measure body fat tissue from a rapid whole body MRI exam. The aim of this work is the provision of an automated system, which assesses subjects’ whole body MRI scans and which provides numerical and visual feedback to ...

The development of the concepts within 3DVIEWNIX and of the software system 3DVIEWNIX itself dates back to the 1970s. Since then, a series of software packages for Computer Assisted Visualization and Analysis (CAVA) of images came out from our group, 3DVIEWNIX released in 1993, being the most recent, and all were distributed with source code. CAVASS, an open source system, is the latest in this...

Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...

IPCAI 2010, the 1st International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions, will be held on June 23 in Geneva, Switzerland (co-located with CARS). Based on a highly selective double anonymous review process, IPCAI is aiming at organizing an event in which the best conference articles in computer assisted interventions are reviewed, selected, presented, and activel...

Eye tracking is a well-established tool utilised in research areas such as neuroscience, psychology and marketing. There are currently many different types of eye trackers available, the most common being video-based remote eye trackers. Many of the currently available remote eye trackers are either expensive, or provide a relatively low sampling frequency. The goal of this dissertation is to p...

introduction: implant bed preparation with laser is taken into consideration owing to the increased interest in use of lasers in hard tissue surgery. the purpose of this study is to determine the deviations in the position and inclination between the planned and prepared implant beds with erbium, chromium doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet (er,cr: ysgg) laser using stereolithographic (sla) s...

In this paper we present a system that could be used to help people with walking disabilities. A system consists of a prototype mobile robot platform equipped with a control board and a remote computer system, running with image processing algorithms, was used to develop a system for physically disabled human to move freely in an environment. We used a camera to get visual information by a huma...
