Statistical imaging atlases allow for integration of information from multiple patient studies collected across different image scales and modalities, such as multi-parametric (MP) MRI and histology, providing population statistics regarding a specific pathology within a single canonical representation. Such atlases are particularly valuable in the identification and validation of meaningful im...

geometric morphometric method was used to examine body shape variations among all the seven valid species of the genus alburnus in iran. in total 409 specimens of a. chalcoides, a. filippii, a. atropatenae, a. caeruleus, a. mossulensis, a. hohenackeri and a. zagrosensis were collected from babolrud, baleqlu-chai, miriseh, sarabeleh, gamasiyab, mahabad-chai rivers and the gandoman lagoon, respec...

A foot database comprising 3D foot shapes and footwear fitting reports of more than 300 participants is presented. It was primarily acquired to study footwear fitting, though it can also be used to analyse anatomical features of the foot. In fact, we present a technique for automatic detection of several foot anatomical landmarks, together with some empirical results.

PURPOSE Approximately 50 percent of all patients with resected colorectal carcinoma have tumors with pT3 status; however, no subclassifications of the penetration depth have been proposed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the significance of histologic invasion beyond subserosal elastic lamina by colorectal carcinoma for postoperative recurrence and long-term survival after resection. ...

Transcutaneous injection laryngoplasty is a well-known procedure for treating paralyzed vocal fold by injecting augmentation material to it. Hence, localization plays vital role in the preoperative planning, as location required determine optimal route. In this communication, we propose mirror environment based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm localizing right and left folds neck CT. RL-ba...

statement of problem: variation in paranasal sinus anatomy as shown on computed tomographic scans is of potential significance for it may pose risks during surgery or predispose to certain pathologic conditions. purpose: the aim of this study was to assess the relative frequency and concurrence of variations in paranasal sinus anatomy in a given population and to compare the results with previo...
