Plain film radiography is the initial screening modality used for the detection of suspected foreign body. However, about one-third of all the foreign bodies are missed in the initial radiographic examination. In case of a wooden foreign body, only 15% are well-visua...

Images in Reproductive Medicine

up to 19% of breast malignancies may be missed by conventional imaging techniques, especially when they are concurrent or co-located with other benign lesions. however, more sensitive techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (mri), are often too expensive for routine use in developing countries. contrast-enhanced, dual-energy digital mammography (cesm) is a recently introduced imaging mod...

Nowadays, with huge progress in digital imaging, new image processing methods are needed to manage digital images stored on disks. Image retrieval has been one of the most challengeable fields in digital image processing which means searching in a big database in order to represent similar images to the query image. Although many efficient researches have been performed for this topic so far, t...
