Registration of histological images to three-dimensional imaging modalities is an important step in quantitative analysis of brain structure, in architectonic mapping of the brain, and in investigation of the pathology of a brain disease. Reconstruction of histology volume from serial sections is a well-established procedure, but it does not address registration of individual slices from sparse...

BACKGROUND The purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of tumor volumetry on MRI as predictive of response to treatment with induction chemotherapy, comparing the results with endoscopy. METHODS Fifty patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SSCHN) who underwent MRI volumetry before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluoroura...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to evaluate how accurately length and volume of thrombotic clots occluding cerebral arteries of patients with acute ischemic stroke can be assessed from nonenhanced CT (NECT) scans reconstructed with different slice widths. METHODS NECT image data of 58 patients with acute ischemic stroke with vascular occlusion proven by CT angiography were reconstructed with...

Fig. 1. schematic drawing of the volume selective z-shimming slices. Solid lines: actual slices for imaging; solid red lines: slices to apply z-shim; dashed red lines: virtual slices during slice positioning, the actual slice...

3-dimension (3-D) printing technology is growing strongly with many applications, one of which the garment industry. The application human body models to industry necessary respond increasing personalization demand and still guarantee aesthetics. This paper proposes a method construct 3-D by applying deep learning. We calculate location main slices body, including neck, chest, belly, buttocks, ...

Body composition determination with single slice computed tomography (CT) image analysis that was used in study by Lee at al. (1) has increasingly been popular. This modality relies on determination of lipid and muscle mass by quantitative analysis of predefined CT slice through attenuation value of tissues. In the current work, image analysis was performed at the level of umbilicus (between th...

An implementation is reported of an imaging method to obtain MUltiple Resolutions along Phase-encode and Slice-select dimensions (MURPS), which enables dynamic imaging of focal changes using a graded, multiresolution approach. MURPS allows one to trade spatial resolution in part of the volume for improved temporal resolution in dynamic imaging applications. A unique method of Hadamard slice enc...
