Medical Imaging Scans: A Short Letter

Medical imaging and telemedicine - from medical data production, to processing, storing, and sharing: A short outlook

The editorial first presents the papers of this special issue and the context of the conference they were selected from. Then, a further outlook is given into the broad range of topics in medical imaging and the future developments that we regard as important. This issue of the International Journal of Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics highlights extended versions of the best papers pre...

Medical transillumination imaging using short-pulse diode lasers.

The recently introduced time-resolved technique for enhanced medical transillumination imaging has been demonstrated for the important case of a diode laser transmitter. This type of gated-viewing technique utilizes early received light only to reject multiply scattered, delayed light, normally blurring the image. Human breast-cancer detection is demonstrated in vitro, and the observations are ...

Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans for asymptomatic patients: role in medical screening.

Response to Letter to the Editor regarding ‘establishing advanced practice for medical imaging in New Zealand’

Letter in reply to Mr Hayes' Letter to the Editor, written with respect to the article 'Establishing advanced practice for medical imaging in New Zealand' published in Journal of Medical Radiation Science, 61 (1) 14-21. We raise a number of points in response.

Composing short 3-compressing words on a 2 letter alphabet

A finite deterministic (semi)automaton A = (Q,Σ, δ) is kcompressible if there is some word w ∈ Σ such that the image of the state set Q under the natural action of w is reduced by at least k states. Such word, if it exists, is called a k-compressing word for A. A word is k-collapsing if it is k-compressing for each k-compressible automaton. We compute a set Γ of short words such that all 3-comp...
