Computed radiography (CR) has many advantages compared with conventional radiographs, especially in image processing. Although CR is being used in chest radiography and mammography, it has not been applied to spine imaging. The purposes of this study were to formulate a set of new CR processing parameters and to test whether the resultant whole-spine radiographs visualized the spine more clearl...

Though lesions to frontal cortex can increase susceptibility to interference from previously established but irrelevant memories ("proactive interference"), the specific regions underlying this problem are difficult to determine because the lesions are typically large and heterogeneous. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate proactive interference in healthy ...

We present a novel approach to pose-invariant face recognition that handles continuous pose variations, is not database-specific, and achieves high accuracy without any manual intervention. Our method uses multidimensional Gaussian process regression to learn a nonlinear mapping function from the 2D shapes of faces at any non-frontal pose to the corresponding 2D frontal face shapes. We use this...

abstractbackgroundline of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques andsystems of shunting. associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalencethrough surgical approach is discussed here. two approaches (frontal and parietal) are usedto insert ventriculoperitoneal shu...

Objective(s): Studies have mainly assessed the effect of hyperglycemia on18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the brain. In this study, we assessed the FDG uptake of the brain not only in normo- and hyperglycemia but also in hypoglycemia to compare the effect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain. Methods: </...

In this report we address the problem of non-frontal face verification when only a frontal training image is available (e.g. a passport photograph) by augmenting a client’s frontal face model with artificially synthesized models for non-frontal views. In the framework of a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based classifier, two techniques are proposed for the synthesis: UBMdiff and LinReg. Both tech...

Mask-wearing remains to be one of the primary protective measures against COVID-19. To address difficulty manual compliance monitoring, face mask detection models considerate both frontal and angled faces were developed. This study aimed test performance said in classifying multi-face images upon running on a Raspberry Pi device. The accuracies inference speeds measured compared when inferencin...
