The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

Diffusion tensor MRI was used to demonstrate in vivo anatomical mapping of brainstem axonal connections. It was possible to identify the corticospinal tract (CST), medial lemniscus, and the superior, medial, and inferior cerebellar peduncles. In addition, the cerebral peduncle could be subparcellated into component tracts, namely, the frontopontine tract, the CST, and the temporo-/parieto-/occi...

The introduction of optical coherence tomography has allowed accurate measurement of the size of macular holes. A retrospective consecutive review was performed of 21 patients undergoing macular hole repair with vitrectomy, gas tamponade, and autologous platelet injection and we assessed the effect of macular hole parameters on anatomic and functional outcomes. We looked at the demographic feat...

In a methodology for incorporating extracted MRI anatomical boundary information into penalized likeli hood PL ECT image reconstructions and tracer up take estimation was proposed This methodology used quadratic penalty based on Gibbs weights which en forced smoothness constraints everywhere in the image except across the MRI extracted boundary of the ROI When high quality estimates of the anat...

We propose to increment a statistical shape model with surrogate variables such as anatomical measurements and patient-related information, allowing conditioning the shape distribution to follow prescribed anatomical constraints. The method is applied to a shape model of the human femur, modeling the joint density of shape and anatomical parameters as a kernel density. Results show that it allo...

Introduction: Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching....

This study presents an automated, easy to use, cost-effective, patient-friendly, active marker based gait measurement (GM) system for 2-D tracking and extraction of spatio-temporal parameters of human gait. Active markers, consisting of visible light-emitting diodes (LEDs), were positioned at anatomical landmarks to measure coordinated kinematics of human joints. Acquired image data were proces...

Background Recently, 3D printing technologies have emerged as a very innovative technique to produce anatomical replicas. Nevertheless, vessel phantoms built up to now are simplified models, with difficulties to obtain parameters with physiological values. The aim of this work is to show and validate a MR compatible thoracic aorta system, designed to obtain hemodynamic parameters within a range...

ESTRO 35 2016 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ original GTV when contouring the GTV on the anatomy of the second CT scan.SIB created two plans. One is 1st CT / 1st Plan and the other is SIB sum (25 fractions (deformed CT) and 5 fractions ( 2nd CT )) . A deformed CT (dCT) with structures was created by deforming the 1st CT to t...
