Accurate geometrical reconstruction of human bones into three-dimensional(3D) view is currently required for clinical studies such as enabling the radiologists to well analyze the fractures or infections in the bones, evidence of arthritis, presence of dental decays, lung infections etc. CT-scan is commonly used to obtain accurate reconstruction of the human body. However, this method is quite ...

We propose a novel approach for automatic segmentation of anatomical structures on 3D CT images by voting from a fully convolutional network (FCN), which accomplishes an end-to-end, voxel-wise multiple-class classification to map each voxel in a CT image directly to an anatomical label. The proposed method simplifies the segmentation of the anatomical structures (including multiple organs) in a...

appropriate distance for the sources to be placed from the skin surface. The trajectories which the sources would take were then drawn, with uniform separation, on this surface. The mould was completed by extending the surface further and then subtracting the trajectories. The complete STL file was then sent to the printer for fabrication by the Stratasys Objet500 Connex1 printer, and printed u...

AIM The aim of this systematic review was to assess the current validity and reliability of radiological methods used to measure proximal hip geometry in children with cerebral palsy. METHOD A search was conducted using relevant keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria of the MEDLINE, CINALH Plus, Embase, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier, The Cochrane Library, and PsychINFO databases....

Computed tomography (CT) angiography is a useful imaging technique for the evaluation of the intraand extra-cranial vasculature. With the introduction of multi-detector row CT scanners, head and neck CT angiography images make it easy to detect cerebral aneurysms, arterial stenosis, and other vascular anomalies. To get an arterial anatomy in three-dimensional views, CT angiography images are of...

OBJECTIVE To improve the planning of hepatic surgery, we have developed a fully automatic anatomical, pathological, and functional segmentation of the liver derived from a spiral CT scan. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a 2 mm-thick enhanced spiral CT scan, the first stage automatically delineates skin, bones, lungs, kidneys, and spleen by combining the use of thresholding, mathematical morphology...
