Digital imaging in pathology has undergone an exponential period of growth and expansion catalyzed by changes in imaging hardware and gains in computational processing. Today, digitization of entire glass slides at near the optical resolution limits of light can occur in 60 s. Whole slides can be imaged in fluorescence or by use of multispectral imaging systems. Computational algorithms have be...

Chalkiness of rice impacts functionality, visual perception, and marketability. A study was initiated to compare chalkiness scores resulting from the current, manual Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) method and newer, semi-automated, digitalimaging systems. Chalkiness of head rice was determined for one mediumand two long-grain cultivar lots using the FGIS method and two digital-imaging m...

Digital dental radiographic imaging is considered to be as diagnostically accurate as conventional film-based radiography. In addition, many digital radiographic systems offer various image enhancements that may aid in image interpretation. However, neither type of radiographic imaging technique perfectly correlates radiographic diagnoses with clinical findings. Moreover, visual digital enhance...

orthopantomography is a well-established imaging technique in dental diagnosis. although its exposure to individuals is relatively low compared to other diagnostic radiology examinations, it is still the most frequent x-ray examination. so it is important to estimate absorbed dose to critical organs in this examination. the present study was designed to determine the radiation doses to eyes, pa...

Background: Distribution of radiographic images in the outpatient setting on compact discs-recordable (CD-R) iscommonplace. Opening, manipulating and interpreting these can be challenging. This study evaluated the availabilityand ease of use of CD-R to evaluate digital images in an outpatient orthopedic setting.Methods: 118 CD-R containing diagnostic studies were evaluated by ...

Art conservators now have access to a wide variety of digital imaging techniques to assist in examining and documenting physical works of art. Commonly used techniques include hyperspectral imaging, 3D scanning and medical CT imaging. However, most of the digital image data requires specialized software to view. The software is often associated with a particular type of acquisition device, and ...

Preface Work in digital imaging and its numerous applications has become a profession for many tens of thousands of engineers and researchers. This book is intended as a text book for studying theoretical foundations of digital imaging to master this profession. It is based on the experience accumulated by the present author for many years of working in the field and teaching various courses in...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of Turkish endodontists toward digital radiological imaging (DRI) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty questionnaires were distributed. Questionnaires were given to a sample of endodontists and PhD students in endodontics who attended the 11 th International Congress o...

Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy among women in developed countries, and its incidence is on the rise in developing countries. In Malaysia, it accounts for about 30% of newly-diagnosed female cancers [1]. Imaging of the breast can be traced to its earliest origins in 1913 when a surgeon, Albert Salomon, used radiography images of mastectomy specimens to demonstrate the spread of b...
