Heterogeneous features of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images is very difficult task when radiologists and physicians manually draw a complete shape of nodule, size and shape, image or distinguish what type of nodule is exist. Segmentation and classification is important methods for medical image processing. Ultrasound imaging is the best way to prediction of which type of thyroid is there. In...

Day by day the use of image processing is increasing. Now a days image processing is the part and parcel of medical science. By image processing many types of cancer are easily detected. Skin cancer is one of them. In this paper the proposed method detects two types of skin one is cancerous skin and another is affected but not cancerous skin. Skin cancers are most common cancer in human. Skin c...

the perioperative imaging of a pregnant woman presents a unique challenge to orthopaedics surgeon as concern about the radiation risk to the embryo or fetus. this article highlights effect of radiation exposure on foetus.i would like to discuss about the amount of radiation exposure in a pregnant woman during fluoroscopic guided closed femoral interlock nailing as radiation has significant canc...

Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...

BORIS/CTCFL is an 11 zinc finger protein, which is the paralog of CTCF, a ubiquitously expressed protein with diverse roles in gene expression and chromatin organization. Several studies have shown that the expression of BORIS is restricted to normal adult testis, pluripotent cells, and diverse cancer cell lines. Thus, it is known as a cancer-testis (CT) gene that has been hypothesized to exhib...

This paper presents the application of active contour models (Snakes) for the segmentation of oral lesions in medical color images acquired from the visual part of the light spectrum. The aim is to assist the clinical expert in locating potentially cancerous cases for further analysis (e.g. classification of cancerous vs. non-cancerous lesions). In order to apply the conventional snake formulat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Raman spectroscopy (RS), which can detect molecular changes associated with cancer, was explored as a means of distinguishing normal and cancerous nasopharyngeal tissue. STUDY DESIGN/PATIENTS AND METHODS Tissue from six patients with normal and cancerous biopsies was studied using a rapid acquisition Raman spectrometer. RESULTS Spectra were obtainable within 5 seco...
