BACKGROUND Postoperative scarring in the frontal recess is the most common cause of iatrogenic frontal sinusitis. Topical mitomycin-C (MMC) is an antifibroblastic agent that has been shown to reduce clinical scarring. This is a preliminary report of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial using MMC to determine its effectiveness in reducing frontal recess stenosis after frontal sin...

We present the case of a 64-year-old woman who came to Emergency Services with a left frontal mass that was painful when palpated. The mass had a history of 3 days, lacking affectation of ocular motility and nasal symptoms. With the diagnostic suspicion of frontal mucocele, she was admitted to begin antibiotic treatment. In the CT performed, the image showed mainly left frontal occupation with ...

Background: The complication of frontal recess brings many difficulties to the doctor’s surgery operations, and comprehensive understanding of frontal recess anatomy is essential for the successful treatment of subjects with frontal sinus disease. The purpose of the study is to describe the feature of the 3D model of frontal recess, and obtain the true image of the important anatomical structur...

We are introducing new effective computer model for extracting nationality from frontal image candidate using face part color, size and distances based on deep research. Determining face part size, color, and distances is depending on a variety of factors including image quality, lighting condition, rotation angle, occlusion and facial emotion. Therefore, first we need to detect a face on the i...

Article history: Received 22 January 2017 Accepted 22 January 2017 Available online 24 January 2017 contrast. Their approach used high quality MRI data, substantial and well characterized samples, along with a relatively objective image analysis approach. As expected, given the symptom overlap, some regions show deficits in both groups (i.e., left inferior temporal cortex) while others distingu...

Thermography (infrared imaging) is a non-invasive technique applied for the detection breast cancer. We consider the problem of automatically recognition malignant breast from frontal view thermography image presented as gray scale image. This framework provides insights into several issues: breast Region of Interest (ROI) detection, extraction statistical features, extraction features based on...

This paper proposes a new glasses removal method from color frontal facial image to generate gray glassless facial image. The proposed method is based on recursive PCA reconstruction. For the generation of glassless images, the occluded region by glasses should be found, and a good reconstructed image to compensate with should be obtained. The recursive PCA reconstruction provides us with both ...

Chondromyxoid fibroma of frontal bone is a rare lesion. Plain skull films showed a round radiolucent mass with a sclerotic margin. It was dense on plain CT scan and showed no convincing contrast enhancement. MR imaging showed low signal intensity relative to gray matter on T1-weighted image (500/20), isointensity on proton-density image (2000/30), high intensity on T2-weighted image, and marked...

Face recognition under varying pose is a challenging problem, especially when illumination variations are also present. In this paper, we propose to address one of the most challenging scenarios in face recognition. That is, to identify a subject from a test image that is acquired under different pose and illumination condition from only one training sample (also known as a gallery image) of th...

Image metamorphosis, commonly known as morphing, is a powerful tool for visual effects that consists of the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. There are many techniques for image metamorphosis, but in all of them there is a need for a person to supply the correspondence between the features in the source image and target image. In this paper we use the Active Shape Models t...
