Segmentation of Medical Images Using Three-Dimensional Active Shape Models
In this paper a fully automated segmentation system for the femur in the knee in Magnetic Resonance Images and the brain in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography images is presented. To do this several data sets were first segmented manually. The resulting structures were represented by unorganised point clouds. With level set methods surfaces were fitted to these point clouds. The iterate...
متن کاملThree-dimensional organotypic culture of stratified epithelia.
One of the limitations of conventional tissue culture on flat two-dimensional surfaces is the loss of complex interactions between the epithelium and stroma. We have devised a culture system that recreates the salient features of the stratified epithelium using primary cell cultures from mouse models. The protocol described here is applicable to the esophageal epithelium, but stratified epithel...
متن کاملThree - Dimensional Shape Description Using
Blum's transform, variously known as the symmetric axis transform, medial axis transform, or skeleton, and his associated two-dimensional shape description methodology are generalized to three-dimensions. Bookstein's twodimensional algorithm for finding an approximation to the symmetric axis is also generalized. The symmetric axis (SA) of an object with a smooth boundary is the locus of points ...
متن کاملShape memory effect and superelasticity in a strain glass alloy.
The shape memory effect and superelasticity are usually found in alloys exhibiting spontaneous martensitic transformation. Thus it is hard to imagine that such interesting effects can appear in a system without a martensitic transformation. In this Letter we show shape memory and the superelasticity effect in a nonmartensitic Ti48.5Ni51.5 alloy, which has no martensitic transformation but under...
متن کاملShape memory and superelasticity in polycrystalline Cu–Al–Ni microwires
We report a strategy to significantly improve the ductility and achieve large superelastic and shape memory strains in polycrystalline Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloys that are normally brittle. We use a liquid-phase Taylor wire forming process to obtain microwires of 10–150 m diameter with a bamboo grain structure. The reduction of grain boundary area, removal of triple junctions, and introduction...
