Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Programmable Gate Arrays Based Realization of Truncated MultipliersMuhammad H. Rais, Mohammed H. Al MijalliProblem statement: Due to high cost and non reconfiguration of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) in image processing applications, for example MPEG video compression used in CT scan frames requires real time conditions and the algorithms should be verified and optimized before implementation. Approach: Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provides reconfiguration and implementation at the same time. Results: The implementation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 6,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpartan-3AN Field Programmable Gate Arrays Truncated Multipliers Delay StudyMohammed H. Al MijalliProblem statement: The image processing applications, such as MPEG video compression used in CT scan frames requires real time conditions and the algorithms should be verified and optimized before implementation which cannot be done with Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) because they are not reconfigurable and cost is very high. Approach: The FPGA is a viable technology that could be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases. Ultrasound image segmentation, in particular echocardiographic image segmentation, is required to identify the regions of interest such as Left Ventricle (LV) and other cardiac cavities. Existing methods do not address the drawbacks of speed and quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Manufacturing of a Custom Skull ImplantJuan Felipe Isaza Saldarriaga, Santiago Correa Vélez, M.D. Adolfo Cumplido Posada et al.Problem statement: Cranioplasty is defined as a neurosurgical procedure to cover an injured bone in the skull. This procedure is carried out in order to protect and restore intracranial structures and to restore the appearance and psychological stability of the patient. Advances in medical imaging, such as MRI and CT, have allowed the 3D reconstruction of anatomical structures for several … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2011 · 9,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Computer Aided Diagnosis System for Lung Cancer Detection\Using Support Vector MachineM. Gomathi, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Computer Tomography (CT) has been considered as the most sensitive imaging technique for early detection of lung cancer. Approach: On the other hand, there is a requirement for automated methodology to make use of large amount of data obtained CT images. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) can be used efficiently for early detection of Lung Cancer. Results: The usage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pecan Weevils through Image ProcessingS.M. Al-Saqer, P. Weckler, J. Solie et al.Abstract: Problem Statement: Pecan weevil is one of the most destructive pests of Oklahoma. The scope of this study is to develop a recognition system that can serve in a wireless imaging network for monitoring pecan weevils. Approach: The recognition methods used in this study are based on template matching. Five recognition methods were implemented: Normalized cross-correlation, Fourier descriptors, Zernike … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Reconstruction Algorithm for Electrical Charge Tomography SystemM. F. Rahmat, M. D. Isa, K. Jusoff et al.Problem statement: Many problems in scientific computing can be formulated as inverse problem. A vast majority of these problems are ill-posed problems. In Electrical Charge Tomography (EChT), normally the sensitivity matrix generated from forward modeling is very ill-condition. This condition posts difficulties to the inverse problem solution especially in the accuracy and stability of the image being reconstructed. The objective … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Model for the Versioning of Image ObjectsS. KhaddajProblem statement: The efficient management and retrieval of the enormous volumes of information generated by many imaging applications is still a challenging problem. Approach: In this study we are particularly interested with the use of object oriented techniques for the management of digital images. Indeed, it is widely accepted that the use of data abstraction in object oriented modeling enables … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Refractory Salmonella Spondylodiscitis in an Immunocompetent Patient Treated Via an Extracavitary Approach, Corpectomy and Placement of Expandable CageKimon Bekelis, Oren Gottfried, Zyia L. Gokaslan et al.Problem statement: Salmonella spondylodiscitis is a rare condition that is more prevalent in patients with sickle cell disease or immunosuppression. However, it can also be found in immunocompetent patients. It usually responds well to proper antibiotics. However, surgery is rarely indicated when the infection is refractory to antibiotics, the spine is destabilized or there is an epidural component that is … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Extraction for Characterization of Breast Lesions in Ultrasound Echography and ElastographyShirley Selvan, M. Kavitha, S. Shenbagadevi, S. SureshProblem statement: Elastography is developed as a quantitative approach to imaging linear elastic properties of tissues to detect suspicious tumors. We propose an automatic feature extraction method in ultrasound elastography and echography for characterization of breast lesions. Approach: The proposed algorithm was tested on 40 pairs of biopsy proven ultrasound elastography and echography images of which 11 are cystic, 16 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
