background: high-energy ionizing radiation is harmful and changes the genetic makeup of dna, which can lead to increased risk of cancer. thus, the exposure of radiation dose should be under control and limited. ionizing radiation might lead to some chromosome aberrations like dicentric. there is a strong relation between the frequency of dicentric chromosome in metaphase, and the received dose....

dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and caudad. situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position. dextrocardia may occur in isolation or as part of situs inversus. similarly, sit...

the potential of quince powder was evaluated for the production of fiber rich sponge cakes. in this study, quinces slices were dried in an infrared–hot air dryer (375 w, 60°c and 1 m/s flow rate). the rheological properties of cake batters and physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties of the sponge cake supplemented with five different concentrations (control, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %) of qui...

In medical image processing image denoising has become a very essential exercise all through the diagnose. Medical images are often deteriorated by noise due to a serious sources of interferences and other phenomenon that affect the measurement process in an imaging and acquisition system. Speckle noise is a random mottling of the image with bright and dark spots, which obscures fine details an...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are used today in a wide range of applications, mainly because they can dramatically accelerate parallel computing, are affordable and energy efficient. In the field of medical imaging, GPUs are in some cases crucial for enabling practical use of computationally demanding algorithms. This review presents the past and present work on GPU accelerated medical image...

The digital image processing has been applied in several areas, especially where it is necessary to use tools for feature extraction and to get patterns of the studied images. In an initial stage, the segmentation is used to separate the image in parts that represents a interest object, that may be used in a specific study. There are several methods that intends to perform such task, but it is ...

This chapter gives an introduction to the methods of biomedical image processing. After some fundamental preliminary remarks to the terminology used, medical imaging modalities are introduced (Sect. 1.2). Sections 1.3 and 1.4 deal with low-level image processing and visualization, respectively, as far as necessary to understand the following chapters. Subsequently, the core steps of image analy...

DICOM is an international standard for the storage and transmission of medical image. With the popularity of pictorial and computerized medical equipments and the development of hospital management information system, the standard is widely used. The technologies of medical image display and processing based on DICOM standard are studied. On the basis of analyzing the DICOM standards and file f...
