Multifidus Muscle Volume Estimation Based on Three Dimensional Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis: MRA with Buttocks Computer-Tomography: CT Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Multi-Resolution Analysis:. MRA based edge detection algorithm is proposed for estimation of volume of multifidus muscle in the Computer Tomography: CT scanned image The volume of multifidus muscle would be a good measure for metabolic syndrome rather than internal fat from a point of view from processing complexity. The proposed measure shows 0.178 of R square which corresponds to mutual correlation between internal fat and the volume of multifidus muscle. It is also fund that R square between internal fat and the other possible measures shows smaller than that of multifidus muscle. Keywords—Edge detection; MRA; Multifidus muscle

Extraction of Line Features from Multifidus Muscle of CT Scanned Images with Morphologic Filter Together with Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis
A method for line feature extraction from multifidus muscle of Computer Tomography (CT) scanned image with morphologic filter together with wavelet based Multi Resolution Analysis (MRA) is proposed. The contour of the multifidus muscle can be extracted from hip CT image. The area of multifidus muscle is then estimated and is used for an index of belly fat because there is a high correlation bet...

Abstract—Method for object motion characteristic estimation based on wavelet Multi-Resolution Analysis: MRA is proposed. With moving pictures, the motion characteristics, direction of translation, roll/pitch/yaw rotations can be estimated by MRA with an appropriate support length of the base function of wavelet. Through simulation study, method for determination of the appropriate support lengt...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...
متن کاملBackground-Based Delineation of Internal Tumor Volumes on Static Positron Emission Tomography in a Phantom Study
Objective(s): Considering the fact that the standardized uptake value (SUV) of a normal lung tissue is expressed as x±SD, x+3×SD could be considered as the threshold value to outline the internal tumor volume (ITV) of a lung neoplasm. Methods: Three hollow models were filled with 55.0 kBq/mL fluorine18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) to represent tumors. The models were fixed to a barrel filled w...
