Mr Image Contrast Synthesis for Consistent Segmentation
Magnetic resonance (MR) is a noninvasive imaging modality that has been widely used to image the human brain. Many image processing algorithms, such as segmentation and registration, when applied to MR images, provide insights about brain tissues that are used to further the understanding of normal aging, as well as the detection and progression of diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer...
متن کاملVideodensitometry in the examination of focal breast lesions after injection of an ultrasound contrast agent.
BACKGROUND The present investigation aimed at assessing the possibility of distinguishing between malignant and benign breast lesions by measuring the signal intensity in vessels of the suspect lesions over time after administration of the ultrasound contrast agent Levovist. MATERIALS AND METHODS Levovist was administered intravenously to 21 patients with breast cancer and 12 patients with a ...
متن کاملContrast Agent-induced Cardiac Arrhythmias in Rats
Although no known meaningful health risks have been reported following the use of microbubble ultrasound echogenic contrast imaging agents (MUECIA) in the United States, premature ventricular contractions have been documented in a report from the Netherlands and anecdotally noted in clinical use. Based on this information, we designed a study to characterize electrocardiogram conduction abnorma...
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
متن کاملAgent based Image Segmentation Methods: A Review
Image segmentation is an important research area in computer vision and many segmentation methods have been proposed. This paper attempts to provide a brief overview of elemental segmentation techniques based on boundary or regional approaches. It focuses mainly on the agent based image segmentation techniques.
