Autism is a severe developmental disorder whose neurological basis is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the shape differences of the corpus callosum between patients with autism and control subjects. Anatomical landmarks were collected from midsagittal magnetic resonance images of 25 patients and 18 controls. Euclidean distance matrix analysis and thin-plate spline analyses...

We describe a process to provide registration of preoperative images to live intraoperative microscopic stereo feed, overlaying landmarks on the video feeds to give surgeons more visual information during surgeory. This method does not run close to real time(150-300ms), but offers better accuracy than other registration methods. This process can complement faster methods like template tracking ...

Transl Androl Urol, 2015;4(S1) www.amepc.org/tau were divided into four equal aliquots: (A) untreated, (B) diluted in cryoprotectant, (C) diluted in cryoprotectant and cryopreserved for 2 days and (D) diluted in cryoprotectant and cryopreserved for 2 months. The DNA methylation degree of H19 and MEST ICR was determined by Bisulfite Seq...

Background: An estimated 125,711 face-lifts and 54,281 neck-lifts were performed in 2015. Regardless of the technique employed, facial and neck flap elevation carries with it anatomical risk of which any surgeon performing these procedures should be aware of. Statistics related to anterior jugular vein injury during these procedures have not been published. Objective: To define a "danger zone" ...

X-ray image guidance enables percutaneous alternatives to complex procedures. Unfortunately, the indirect view onto the anatomy in addition to projective simplification substantially increase the taskload for the surgeon. Additional 3D information such as knowledge of anatomical landmarks can benefit surgical decision making in complicated scenarios. Automatic detection of these landmarks in tr...

This mage-based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient and important anatomical structures and landmarks expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT). The representative image is followed by a series of images showing the examples of different commonly encountered pathological entities that can be seen at this level in a routine clinical p...

For most of the large arterial vessels, surgeons can rely on a constant anatomy. In head and neck surgery, the common carotid arteries are important landmarks, defining the plane of the dissection during radical neck surgery (Ord & Ward-Booth, 1986). Conventional angiography is considered the most accurate technique for diagnosis of carotid bifurcation diseases, such as stenosis (Schwartz et al...

Medical landmark localization is crucial for treatment planning. Although FCN-based heatmap regression methods have made significant progress, there a lack of research focused on features that can learn spatial configuration between medical landmarks, notwithstanding the well-structured patterns these landmarks. In this paper, we propose novel spatial-configuration-feature-based network effecti...

We present a graphical user interface which facilitates the definition of anatomical boundaries and landmarks for automated model-based segmentation and analysis using 3D Active Shape Models (ASMs). ASMs provide a statistically-based approach to automatic segmentation which is completely general in terms of both imaging modalities and the anatomical objects of interest. Further, the ASM guarant...
