Medical image repositories contain very large amounts of computer tomography (CT) scans. When querying a particular CT scan, the user is often not interested in the complete scan but in a certain region of interest (ROI). Unfortunately, specifying the ROI in terms of scan coordinates is usually not an option because an ROI is usually specified w.r.t. the scan content, e.g. an example region in ...

A 30-year-old man presented with headache, vomiting, altered sensorium and seizures. There was no history of trauma or surgery. On examination, he was unconscious with signs of meningeal irritation and asymmetrical pupils. Computed tomography (CT) scan of brain revealed pneumocephalus. He died immediately after the CT scan. He was later found to be immunocompetent. Computed tomography scan (fig...

BACKGROUND Tumor thickness has been shown in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) to be a predictor of cervical metastasis. The postoperative histological measurement is certainly the most accurate, but it would be of clinical interest to gain this information prior to treatment planning. This retrospective study aimed to compare the tumor thickness measurement between preoperative, CT s...

Medical image segmentation is referred to the segmentation of known anatomic structures from different medical images. Normally, the medical data researches are more complicated and an exclusive structures. This computer aided diagnosis is used for assisting doctors in evaluating medical imagery or in recognizing abnormal findings in a medical image. To integrate the specialized knowledge for m...

A 58-year-old man presented with backache, weight loss, and fever for 1 month. Laboratory tests showed a hemoglobin of 9.9 g/dL, white cell count of 31.1 3 10/L, neutrophil count of 26.9 3 10/L, platelet count of 46 3 10/L, serum ferritin of 1096 mg/L, fasting triglyceride of 1.04 mmol/L, and fibrinogen level of 6.40 g/L. Viral studies, as well as cultures of blood, urine, and sputum, were all ...

background and aims. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) is an imaging system which has many advantages over computed tomography (ct). in ct scan, hounsfield unit (hu) is proportional to the degree of x-ray attenuation by the tissue. in cbct, the degree of x-ray attenuation is shown by gray scale (voxel value). the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between gray scale...

p a o m m l a s s a p s l o w h p he analysis and 3-dimensional (3D) imaging of the irway have become more common as technological evelopments in both imaging and computer analysis ave advanced and converged during the past few ears. These advances have been especially beneficial or the ability to understand and diagnose obstructed leep disordered breathing (OSDB) and its relationship o the cra...
