A portable stereo vision system for whole body surface imaging
This paper presents a whole body surface imaging system based on stereo vision technology. We have adopted a compact and economical configuration which involves only four stereo units to image the frontal and rear sides of the body. The success of the system depends on a stereo matching process that can effectively segment the body from the background in addition to recovering sufficient geomet...
متن کاملFeasibility of portable gamma camera imaging in intraoperative radioguided parathyroid adenoma identification
Novel surgical applications include radioguided procedures in parathyroidectomy operations. In order to investigate the feasibility of usage of the portable gamma camera in parathyroidectomy operations; intraoperative radioguided parathyroidectomy operation was performed in three hyperparathyroidism patients with inconclusive preoperative parathyroid scintigraphy results. Intraoperative portabl...
متن کاملGamma camera imaging for studying intestinal absorption and whole-body distribution of selenomethionine.
Se metabolism in humans is not well characterised. Currently, the estimates of Se absorption, whole-body retention and excretion are being obtained from balance and tracer studies. In the present study, we used gamma camera imaging to evaluate the whole-body retention and distribution of radiolabelled selenomethionine (SeMet), the predominant form of Se present in foods. A total of eight health...
متن کاملIn vivo quantification of 177Lu with planar whole-body and SPECT/CT gamma camera imaging
BACKGROUND Advances in gamma camera technology and the emergence of a number of new theranostic radiopharmaceutical pairings have re-awakened interest in in vivo quantification with single-photon-emitting radionuclides. We have implemented and validated methodology to provide quantitative imaging of (177)Lu for 2D whole-body planar studies and for 3D tomographic imaging with single-photon emiss...
متن کاملMouse Imaging with Whole-Body MRI Scanners
Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been used in clinical applications for several decades. It offers a physician excellent anatomic detail and tissue characterization. Within the past decade, advances in MRI allowed us to image with a sub-millimetre in-plane resolution. Achieving such reduction in voxel volume require novel technological developments in every aspect of the MRI acquisition process: ...
