Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnostic Imaging of Gastrointestinal Tumours in Dogs and Cats: A ReviewFrancesco Simeoni, Francesca Del Signore, Rossella Terragni et al.Gastrointestinal tract tumours in dogs and cats are characterized by non-specific clinical presentation and laboratory abnormalities, but require fast identification, characterization and staging. Imaging techniques play a key role in the diagnostic process of these diseases in routine veterinary practice. Survey and contrast radiography may indicate primary or secondary signs of gastric or intestinal neoplasia such as a wall mass, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2020 · 9,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECG Energy Change Study Based on Variational Mode DecompositionKai Dong, Lin Sun, Hongjun Xiong, Wenbo WangVariational Mode Decomposition (VMD) decomposes the signal into a series of Intrinsic Mode Type Functions (IMTFs) according with variational model and fluctuating characteristics of the signal itself, thus very suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Energy of ECG signal has certain distribution rules, but which could be affected by diseases; therefore, the study of ECG … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2020 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Retinal Image Registration Using Mutual InformationPradeepa Palraj, Ila VennilaImage registration has tremendous applications in medical industry both in diagnosis and therapy. But registering the retinal images is very difficult task because of the structural and illumination criteria. Normal registration algorithms are proved to be less effective and more complicated for such applications. This study aims at combining two methods of retinal image registration: Vessel based and non-vessel based … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 18 Sep 2013 · 6,694 accessesView PDFCite
