Recovering Elastic Property of Soft Tissues Using 2D Image Sequences With Limited Range Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detecting abnormal material properties associated with diseased tissues from images requires accurate displacement data. We examined three affine model-based methods for measuring 3D displacements in regular image sequences. The advantage of these methods is that only one or no range image is needed for the whole sequence. We demonstrate, using images of both synthetic material and real burn patients, that the affine tracking method is suitable for many image based medical analyses.

Coupling Nonlinear Element Free Galerkin and Linear Galerkin Finite Volume Solver for 2D Modeling of Local Plasticity in Structural Material
This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...
متن کاملAn Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network
Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...
متن کاملMeasuring Soft Tissue Elasticity by Monitoring Surface Acoustic Waves Using Image Plane Digital Holography
The detection of tumors in soft tissues, such as breast cancer, is important to achieve at the earliest stages of the disease to improve patient outcome. Tumors often exhibit a greater elastic modulus compared to normal tissues. In this paper, we report our first study to measure elastic properties of soft tissues by mapping the surface acoustic waves (SAWs) with image plane digital holography....
متن کاملInteractive Tracking of Soft Tissues in 2D Ultrasound Images
In several medical applications such as liver or kidney biopsies, an anatomical region needs to be continuously tracked during the intervention. When using ultrasound (US) image modality, tracking soft tissues remains challenging due to the deformations caused by physiological motions or medical instruments, combined with the generally weak quality of the images. In order to overcome the previo...

FUNG, Y. C. B. Elasticity of soft tissues in simple elongation. Am. J. Physiol. 213(6) : 1532-l 544. 1967 .-Elasticity of living soft tissues is strongly nonlinear. Based on experimental results on rabbits’ mesentery, a theoretical framework is presented in which the elastic properties of soft tissues can be described. It is shown that the mathematical formulation works well also in reducing pu...
