An operator-independent method for background subtraction in adrenal-uptake measurements: concise communication.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new computer program for adrenal-uptake measurements is presented in which the algorithm identifies the adrenal and background regions automatically after being given a starting point in the image. Adrenal uptakes and results of reproducibility tests are given for patients injected with [131I] 6beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol. The data to date indicate no overlap in the percent-of-dose uptakes for normal patients and patients with Cushing's disease and Cushing's syndrome.

A camera based calculation of 99mTc-MAG3 clearance using conjugate views method [Persian]
Background: Measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. Gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. However some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in...
متن کاملRobust Online Matrix Factorization for Dynamic Background Subtraction
We propose an effective online background subtraction method, which can be robustly applied to practical videos that have variations in both foreground and background. Different from previous methods which often model the foreground as Gaussian or Laplacian distributions, we model the foreground for each frame with a specific mixture of Gaussians (MoG) distribution, which is updated online fram...

متن کاملAdrenal lesions: Common findings and pitfalls on 18F-FDG PET/CT
Adrenal lesions are commonly observed during 18F-FDG PET/CT studies. Although, most of these lesions are considered benign, an important consideration in oncologic patients is metastasis. Benign lesions, such as adenomas usually present with low 18F-FDG uptake, although overlap with malignant lesions exist and clear SUV cut-off for distinguishing adrenal adenomas has not b...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Background Subtraction Using Visual Saliency Map
Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...
