Author Correction: Rapid and Precise Semi-Automatic Axon Quantification in Human Peripheral Nerves

The incidence of abnormality in control human peripheral nerves studied by single axon dissection.

Semi-automatic FISH quantification on digital slides

Background HER2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, a member of epidermal growth factor receptor family. It was documented that the amplification and the over expression of this gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis and in the progression of breast cancer [1]. Nowadays this is one of the most important biomarker and target for breast cancer therapy. 10-30% of invasive breast carcinomas ...

Semi-automatic quantification of the epicardial fat in CT images

In this work we present a technique to automatically or semi-automatically quantify the epicardial fat in noncontrasted Computed Tomography (CT) images. In CT images, the epicardial fat is very close to the pericardial fat, distincted only by the pericardium. The pericardium appears in the image as a very thin line, very hard to discriminate. To enhance the pericardium line and to remove noise ...

Automatic Precise Geometric Correction for Hj-ccd Imagery

Since HuanJing(HJ)-satellite has been sent successfully in September 6, 2008, in china, productions of precise geometric correction are imminently needed. Moreover, the demand for rapid processing of remote sensing data for disaster is increasing. Aiming at the characteristics of HJ-CCD imagery, a precise geometric correction technology workflow has been designed, which is a very meaningful wor...

Axon Beadings in Autonomic Cholinergic Nerves

Many authors have described beadings of autonomic nerves in their terminal distribution in a wide variety of methylene blue-stained preparations (1, 2). With the advent of techniques which enable catechol amine-containing nerves to be visualized by fluorescence microscopy (3, 4), the beaded nature of adrenergic nerves has been convincingly demonstrated in a number of situations in different spe...
