The availability of detailed knee kinematic data during various activities can facilitate clinical studies of this joint. To describe in detail normal knee joint rotations in all three anatomical planes, 25 healthy subjects (aged 22-49 years) performed eleven motor tasks, including walking, step ascent and descent, each with and without sidestep or crossover turns, chair rise, mild and deep squ...

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging has led to active research in the analysis of anatomical connectivity in the brain. Many approaches have been proposed to model the diffusion signal and to obtain estimates of fibre tracts. Despite these advances, the question of defining probabilistic connectivity indices which utilize the relevant information in the diffusion MRI signal to indicate connect...

Neuroimaging at the group level requires spatial normalization of individual structural data. We propose a geometric approach that consists in matching a series of cortical surfaces through diffeomorphic registration of their sulcal imprints. The resulting 3D transforms naturally extends to the entire MRI volumes. The Diffeomorphic Sulcal-based COrtical (DISCO) registration integrates two recen...

Methods A 3D Orthoscreen system, designed for postural deformity telediagnostics, using the structural light method, was used for school screening [2,3]. Clouds of dots were acquired for every subject. POTSI, DAPI, kyphosis and lordosis were measured, after marker-less landmarking of anatomical back structures, manually and automatically, for the same subjects. 50 subjects were assessed, 22 mal...

The use of contrast medium in cardiac MRI allows joining the high-resolution anatomical information provided by standard magnetic resonance with functional information obtained by means of the perfusion of contrast agent in myocardial tissues. The current approach to perfusion MRI characterization is the qualitative one, based on visual inspection of images. Moving to quantitative analysis requ...

The main aim of this research was to demonstrate that the cortical and subcortical grey matter hypometabolism as revealed by fluorine-18 fluorodesoxyglucose-positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET) imaging in brain tumors is related to associated edema as demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This in turn enhances the ability to assess disease activity in the tumor and the degre...

BACKGROUND To investigate the feasibility of contouring the planning risk organ volume (PRV) for the heart, and to determine the probability of evaluating radiation dose to the heart using kilovoltage-cone beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT) in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, who received stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen NSCLC pati...
