computer aided pulmonary nodule detection has been among major research topics lately to help for early treatment of lung cancer which is the most lethal kind of cancer worldwide.some evidence suggests that periodic screening tests with the ct of patients will help in reducing the mortality rate caused by the lung cancer. acomplete and accurate computer aided diagnosis (cad) system for detectio...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of three different luting protocols on shear bond strength of computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (cad/cam) resin nanoceramic (rnc) material to dentin. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 30 disks were milled from rnc blocks (lava ultimate/3m espe) with cad/cam technology. the disks were subsequently c...

The utilization of computer-aided technologies in tissue engineering has evolved in the development of a new field of computer-aided tissue engineering (CATE). This article reviews recent development and application of enabling computer technology, imaging technology, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD and CAM), and rapid prototyping (RP) technology in tissue engineerin...

This paper brielyfly outlines the basic concepts of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD), including some fundamental techniques used in CAD system. Commercial CAD products and several ongoing CAD projects are also described in the field of medical image processing. The data presented at the special IFCSTA 2010 session on the “state-of-the-art of CAD” are summarized in this report, with info...

objective(s): bonenavi, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. this system provides the artificial neural network (ann) and bone scan index (bsi) values. ann is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while bsi is related to the amount of bone metastasis. the degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. therefore, t...

recently, as the result of the development in modern imaging, computerized three dimensional data processing and advanced engineering techniques, an prosthesis that match the skeletal anatomy can be accurately designed from computer aided design (cad) technique and the physical model of prosthesis or skull replica can be produced through rapid prototyping (rp), rapid tooling (rt), and computer ...

The Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been a very important tool for the design and manufacturing in recent years. However, the CAD has often been used as ‘Computer Aided Drafting’ for engineering parts in industry. The ‘design’ part of the CAD is often not very well implemented and by improving on it we can enhance the usefulness of the computer-based component of the manufacturing process. A ty...
