Two-Dimensional Versus Three-Dimensional Pictorial Organization

Two-dimensional versus three-dimensional morphometry of monogenoidean sclerites.

A new method of three-dimensional (3-D) analysis of sclerotised structures of monogenoids was performed by processing z-series images using 3D-Doctor. Z-series were obtained from Gomori's trichrome-stained specimens of marine and freshwater monogenoids under laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Measurements obtained from 3-D images were then compared with those from 2-D images taken...

Costal Versus Articular Chondrocytes in Alginate Three-Dimensional Cultures

Given the difficulties in accessing articular cartilage as a source of chondrocytes to be used in fabricating cartilage constructs, alternative sources are required. The present study examined chondrocytes from costal cartilage for their suitability in cartilage tissue engineering. Chondrocytes isolated from rat knee and rib hyaline cartilage were separately mixed with alginate and placed in a ...

Comparative study of three‐dimensional versus two‐dimensional video‐assisted thoracoscopic two‐port lobectomy

BACKGROUND The advantages and disadvantages of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) two-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy and systematic dissection of mediastinal lymph nodes for lung cancer were investigated. METHODS Between December 2013 and July 2015 at Beijing Hospital, 191 patients underwent lobectomy and systematic dissection of mediastinal lymph node...

Three Dimensional Symmetry from Two Dimensional Data

In previous applications, bilateral symmetry of objects was used either as a descriptive feature in domains such as recognition and grasping, or as a way to reduce the complexity of structure from motion. In this paper we propose a novel application, using the symmetry property to \symmetrize" data before and after reconstruction. We rst show how to compute the closest symmetric 2D and 3D conng...
