Four experiments examined 3- and 4-year-olds' ability to communicate about containment and proximity relations. One hundred twenty-eight children either described where a miniature mouse was hiding in a dollhouse or they searched for the mouse after the experimenter described where it was hiding. The mouse was always hidden with a small landmark that was either in or next to a large landmark. W...

Several groups have developed methods for registering an individual's 3D MRI by deforming a standard template. This achievement leads to many possibilities for segmentation and morphology that will impact nuclear medical research in areas such as activation and receptor studies. Accordingly, there is a need for methods that can assess the accuracy of intersubject registration. We have developed...

An automatic mechanism for the selection of image subset of modern and historic images out of a landmark large image set collected from the internet is designed in this paper. This selection depends on the extraction of dominant features using Gabor filtering. These features are selected carefully from a preliminary image set and fed into a neural network as a training set. The mechanism collec...

BACKGROUND Anatomic single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the current gold standard in ACL reconstructive surgery. However, placement of femoral and tibial tunnels at the anatomic center of the ACL insertion sites can be difficult intraoperatively. We developed a "virtual arthroscopy" program that allows users to identify ACL insertions on preoperative knee magnetic r...
