Irregularly shaped lacunar infarction: risk factors and clinical significance.
OBJECTIVE Our study focused on acute lacunar infarct shapes to explore the risk factors and clinical significance of irregularly shaped lacunar infarctions. METHODS Based on the shape of their acute lacunar infarct, patients (n=204) were classified into the "regular" group or "irregular" group. The characteristics of the lacunar infarction were compared between the regular and irregular group...
متن کاملAdaptations for finding irregularly shaped disease clusters
BACKGROUND Recent adaptations of the spatial scan approach to detecting disease clusters have addressed the problem of finding clusters that occur in non-compact and non-circular shapes--such as along roads or river networks. Some of these approaches may have difficulty defining cluster boundaries precisely, and tend to over-fit data with very irregular (and implausible) clusters shapes. RESU...
متن کاملAnalysis of Irregularly Shaped Texture Regions
Four different texture classification methods (wavelet-based, co-occurrence matrices-based, 1D-histograms-based, and 1D Boolean model-based) are systematically compared and evaluated with respect to their performance in identifying textures from small and irregular samples. Two sets of 135 complex shape masks (symmetric and nonsymmetric) are created using Fourier shape descriptors, and used to ...
متن کاملAbsorbed Dose Calculation In Irregular Blocked Radiation Fields: Evaluation of Clarkson’s Sector Integration Method for Radiation Fields Commonly Used in Conventional Radiotherapy
Introduction: Irregular/blocked fields are routinely used in radiotherapy. The doses of these fields are usually calculated by means of equivalent square method that is inherently prone to uncertainty. On the other hand, Clarkson’s sector integration method is a dose calculation method which offers far better accuracy in dose calculation of irregular fields. The Scatter Air Ratio (SAR) of an in...
متن کاملLocating irregularly shaped clusters of infection intensity.
Patterns of disease may take on irregular geographic shapes, especially when features of the physical environment influence risk. Identifying these patterns can be important for planning, and also identifying new environmental or social factors associated with high or low risk of illness. Until recently, cluster detection methods were limited in their ability to detect irregular spatial pattern...
