Conformal radiotherapy is a therapeutic method requiring medical imaging, generally CT images to obtain Hounsfield number and electronic density data indications. The use of MRI simultaneously with CT imposes to deform CT images and superimpose them on MR images. The aim of this paper is to propose a nonridgid matching method between the two modalities (CT and MRI). The transformation model is ...

We consider the dynamical super-resolution problem consisting in the recovery of positions and velocities of moving particles from low-frequency static measurements taken over multiple time steps. The standard approach to this issue is a two-step process: first, at each time step some static reconstruction method is applied to locate the positions of the particles with super-resolution and, sec...

Previously there have been no methods for directly tracing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) under physiological conditions, and the circulation of CSF has therefore been studied and visualized by injecting a radioactively labeled tracer or contrast medium visible in x-ray images. The newly developed Time-Spatial Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) method makes it possible to directly visualize the...

A 42-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicle collision. Imaging studies revealed the presence of a post-traumatic aortic pseudo-aneurysm (about 34 × 26 cm) arising from the descending thoracic aorta at the level of the left subclavian artery (LSA), prone to rupture. Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) was the only feasible option due to his poor overall medical status. In this ca...

Blood motion estimation provides fundamental clinical information to prevent and detect pathologies such as cancer. Ultrasound imaging associated with Doppler methods is often used for blood flow evaluation. However, Doppler methods suffer from shortcomings such as limited spatial resolution and the inability to estimate lateral motion. Numerous methods such as block matching and decorrelation-...

Image Registration is a central task to many medical image analysis applications. In this paper, we present a novel iterative algorithm composed of two main steps: a global affine image registration based on particle filter, and a local refinement obtained from a linear optical flow approximation. The key idea is to iteratively apply these simple and robust steps to efficiently solve complex no...

Due to ever increasing of medical images data in the world’s medical centers and recent developments in hardware and technology of medical imaging, necessity of medical data software analysis is needed. Equipping medical science with intelligent tools in diagnosis and treatment of illnesses has resulted in reduction of physicians’ errors and physical and financial damages. In this article we pr...

Within the last decades, conventional flow cytometry (FC) has evolved as a powerful measurement method in clinical diagnostics, biology, life sciences and healthcare.
