Background: Changes of body image following breast cancer is one of the factors affecting the quality of life of women with this disease. Objectives: Thus, the factors affecting the body image need to be identified to improve their quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the body image in Iranian women diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods: In this cr...

In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...

Introduction: This study aimed at examining body image and eating attitude with regard to reasons of exercising among non-athlete women attending sport centers. Materials and methods: The present study has an ex-post facto design. 315 female sports center users were selected by multi-phase random clustering and completed the following rating scales: Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Body Image...

In this paper a new patch-based digital signature (DS) is proposed. The proposed approach similar to steganography methods hides the secure message in a host image. However, it uses a patch-based key to encode/decode the data like cryptography approaches. Both the host image and key patches are randomly initialized. The proposed approach consists of encoding and decoding algorithms. The encodin...

background: to reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the computerized tomography (ct) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. this can be followed during dose delivery procedure as image guided radiotherapy (igrt) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor radiation...
