Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Algorithm for Fractal Coding Using Self Organizing MapS. Bhavani, k. ThanushkodiProblem statement: In medical imaging, lossy compression schemes are generally not used due to possible loss of useful clinical information and also degradations may result in lossy compression owing to operations like enhancement. As the medical images are huge in size a good lossy compression technology is required to store them in medical archives in an economical manner. There is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 15 Mar 2012 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Image Compression with Lossless Region of Interest Using Adaptive Active ContourR. Loganathan, Y. S. KumaraswamyProblem statement: With increasing bandwidth, digital medical image storage and transmission is a boon to patients and health professionals alike. Medical images are available instantly and avoid the need to carry the data physically. Popular imaging techniques extensively used in medicine include X-Ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound and Computed Tomography (CT). The images produced from the above techniques can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 1 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,780 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 · 7,214 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 · 9,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperiment of Tamper Detection and Recovery Watermarking in Picture Archiving and Communication SystemsSiau-Chuin Liew, Jasni Mohamad ZainProblem statement: Medical images such as x-rays, ultrasounds and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an important role in helping the physicians to diagnose a disease or body conditions. These images can be tampered with existing image processing tools that is easily available. The usage of security measures such as watermarking can protect the integrity of the images. Numerous watermarking schemes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of the Electric Power Quality and Electrical Installation Impacts on Medical Electrical Equipment Operations at Health Care FacilitiesMário César Giacco Ramos, Carlos Márcio Vieira TahanProblem statement: Medical electrical equipments at health care facilities presented malfunction and wrong medical information due to poor electric power quality and to inadequate electrical Installations. Some equipment such as X-ray, computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered as polluting ones due to their high amount of harmonics and voltage transients produced on the electrical power supply when … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,514 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractOsteomyelitis Caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum-a Case ReportClarissa Jane Lyngdoh, Anne Khyriem, W. Valarie Lyngdoh, Tashi KhonglahNon-tuberculous rapidly growing mycobacteria have been known to cause a variety of skin and soft tissue infection. The diagnosis of NTM in bone and joint infections is easily missed because of non-specific signs and symptoms. We report a case of a 65 year old male with osteomyelitis of the right knee of 4 years duration. The patient had no prior … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
