Incorporating Shape into Histograms for CBIR
This paper describes an indexing system for use in Content Based Image Retrieval. The standard colour histogram approach is simple, eÆcient, and robust. However, it does not include shape information, which leads to problems (e.g. many-to-many mappings). To remedy this we use additional features in an attempt to incorporate shape and textual information to the index key. Our experiments showed ...
متن کاملHigh-dose radiotherapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND We report the results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who were not candidate for local ablative therapies, transarterial chemoembolization or hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Between 2003 and 2008, 27 patients were treated with high-dose radiotherapy (median dose, 50.4 Gy). The equivale...
متن کاملTowards the elimination of Monte Carlo statistical fluctuation from dose volume histograms for radiotherapy treatment planning.
The Monte Carlo calculation of dose for radiotherapy treatment planning purposes introduces unavoidable statistical noise into the prediction of dose in a given volume element (voxel). When the doses in these voxels are summed to produce dose volume histograms (DVHs), this noise translates into a broadening of differential DVHs and correspondingly flatter DVHs. A brute force approach would enta...
متن کاملSize specific dose estimate (SSDE) for estimating patient dose from CT used in myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT
Objective(s): Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new parameter that includes patient size factor in its calculation. Recent studies have produced mixed results on the utility of SSDE, especially when automatic exposure control (AEC) was used. The objective of the study was to find out if there is a relationship between patient size and each of the parameters, SSDE...
متن کاملRole of SPECT-CT in radiotherapy.
PURPOSE The role of fusion imaging methods SPECT-CT and PET-CT is currently being investigated in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning. SPECT and PET provide extra information for gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of SPECT-CT in RT. METHODS SPECT-CT studies were performed in 55 patients with (99m)Tc-MIBI/Tetrofosmin (TF), with 99mTc-Nanoc...
