The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of three dimensional (3D) stainless steel miniplates in anterior mandibular fractures and to compare the use of three dimensional (3D) miniplates with Champy‟s miniplates and assess the bone healing post-operatively in both and to evaluate the complications associated with the use of 3D miniplates.Total 20 Patients were selected for this prospect...

We present a new method for the automatic segmentation and components classification of brain Optic Pathway Gliomas (OPGs) from multi-spectral MRI datasets. Our method accurately identifies the sharp OPG boundaries and consistently delineates the missing contours by effectively incorporating prior location, shape, and intensity information. It then classifies the segmented OPG volume into its t...
