Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION FOR ANATOMICAL KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTIONMs Maya Eapen, Reeba KorahComputed Tomography-Angiography (CTA) images of the abdomen, followed by precise segmentation and subsequent computation of shape based features of liver play an important role in hepatic surgery, patient/donor diagnosis during liver transplantation and at various treatment stages. Nevertheless, the issues like intensity similarity and Partial Volume Effect (PVE) between the neighboring organs; left the task of liver segmentation critical. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 22 Feb 2014 · 6,465 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BRAIN TUMOR DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SOFT COMPUTING TECHNIQUESP. Shantha Kumar, P. Ganesh KumarComputed tomography images are widely used in the diagnosis of brain tumor because of its faster processing, avoiding malfunctions and suitability with physician and radiologist. This study proposes a new approach to automated detection of brain tumor. This proposed work consists of various stages in their diagnosis processing such as preprocessing, anisotropic diffusion, feature extraction and classification. The local binary … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Dec 2013 · 6,989 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Reconstruction of Human Heart Surface from Single Image-View Under Different Illumination ConditionsAqeel Al-Surmi, Rahmita Wirza, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.The 3D reconstruction from a single-view image is a longstanding issue in computer vision literature, especially in the medical field. Traditional medical imaging techniques that provide information about the heart and which are used to reconstruct the heart model, include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. However, in some cases, they are not available and the applications … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Bone Properties due to Skeletal Diseases on Stability of Cementless Hip StemsMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: There are two types of implant fixation in hip joint replacement-cemented and cementless. The cemented types are, in general, more popular due to concerns of possible inability of cementless implants achieving maximum primary stability for bone integration. The concern is more significant in cases where there are major losses of cancellous bone stock and thinning of the trabeculae … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,171 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterface Micromotion of Cementless Hip Stems in Simulated Hip ArthroplastyMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: The design of hip prostheses has evolved over time due to various complications found after hip replacement surgery. The currently commercially available cementless femoral stems can be categorized into one of three major types, straight cylindrical, tapered rectangular and anatomical. Each type proposes a unique concept to achieve primary stability-a major requirement for bone healing process. Virtual analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,324 accessesView PDF Cite
