extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

Current status of endosonography-guided biliary drainage.

An obstructed biliary system is usually drained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and when this is unsuccessful, the standard alternative technique is percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Surgical biliary bypass may also be required. In recent years, endosonography has transformed from a solely diagnostic procedure to one with therapeutic capabilities. Endosonography-gui...

Pancreaticopleural fistula: successful treatment by major-to-minor duodenal papilla rendezvous stenting of the pancreatic duct.

alcohol abuse was admitted with exertional dyspnea and massive pleural effusion bilaterally. Despite repeated thoracocentesis with placement of a chest tube, the sanguineous pleural effusions remained refractory. Follow-up investigations revealed exudative pleural fluid with a markedly elevated amylase level (34 620 IU/L) and acute pancreatitis with peripancreatic exudation in the transitional ...

Fluoroscopy-guided Combined (Surgical/Endovascular) Treatment of Dural Arteriovenous Fistula

For dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), when the usual endovascular or neurosurgical approaches are difficult to treat, multi-modal treatment can be helpful. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman with DAVF, who presented with an intracerebral haemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a DAVF of the transverse sinus, with cortical venous reflux. Transvenous and transarterial approa...
