Volumetric data acquisition and increasingly massive data storage have increased the need to develop better analysis tools for three-dimensional data sets. These volumetric data sets can provide information beyond that contained in standard two-dimensional images. Common strategies to deal with such data sets have been based on sequential use of two-dimensional analysis tools. In this work, we ...

BACKGROUND Despite being the cosmetic procedure most performed worldwide, there are still few objective measurements of postoperative volumetric analysis of breast augmentation available in the literature. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate volumetric changes in the breast parenchyma after the placement of silicone implants in the subglandular plane. METHODS Thirty-four women w...

Region feature detectors and descriptors have become a successful and popular alternative to point descriptors in image analysis due to their high robustness and repeatability, leading to a significant interest in the shape analysis community in finding analogous approaches in the 3D world. Recent works have successfully extended the maximally stable extremal region (MSER) detection algorithm t...

How do we estimate, from thermodynamic measurements, the number of water molecules adsorbed or released from biomolecules as a result of a biochemical process such as binding and allosteric effects? Volumetric and osmotic stress analyses are established methods for estimating water numbers; however, these techniques often yield conflicting results. In contrast, Kirkwood-Buff theory offers a nov...

here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of iran’s oilfields is described. stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. this method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

OBJECTIVE This study performed volumetric analysis and classified different repeated patterns of temporal bone pneumatization in adults using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. STUDY DESIGN A total of 155 temporal bones were retrospectively evaluated from 78 patients with no radiographic evidence of pathology. Two reference structures were used to classify temporal bone pneumatizatio...
