The functional network of the brain is known to demonstrate modular structure over different hierarchical scales. In this paper, we systematically investigated the hierarchical modular organizations of the brain functional networks that are derived from the extent of phase synchronization among high-resolution EEG time series during a visual task. In particular, we compare the modular structure...

Purpose. We present an extremely rare anatomical variation of unilateral flexor carpi radialis (FCR) absence. This rare anatomical variation posed a clinical dilemma to us and we highlight the importance of the surgeon being aware of this anatomical variation of an important structure both as a reconstruction tool and as an anatomical landmark. Methods. This anatomical variation of the unilater...

We present a novel probabilistic framework to learn across several subjects a mapping from brain anatomical connectivity to functional connectivity, i.e. the covariance structure of brain activity. This prediction problem must be formulated as a structured-output learning task, as the predicted parameters are strongly correlated. We introduce a model selection framework based on cross-validatio...

Many clinical tasks depend upon the proper interpretation of medical images and will benefit from access and reference to similar, relevant images. In this paper, we present CBIR approaches to two clinical tasks and discuss their specific challenges. The first CBIR system retrieves anatomical regions in Computed Tomography (CT) studies of the chest and abdomen. The system can be used to provide...

Lateral cephalogram X-ray (LCX) images are essential to provide patientspecific morphological information of anatomical structures. The automatic annotation of anatomical structures in cephalograms has been performed in the biomedical engineering for nearly twenty years. Most systems only handle a portion of salient craniofacial landmark set [1, 2, 3]. Although model-based methods can produce a...

   This paper intended to review the lameness in dairy cattle. But it was necessary to have an overview about the hoof anatomical structure, it's growth and overgrowth properties. Most common causes of lameness such as laminitis and its different clinical form or presentation such as sole ulcers, toe ulcers, white line disorders, sole and white linehemorrhages have been reviewed and discussed. ...

accurately localizing the mental foramen and mandibular canal is important when administering local anesthesia and performing surgery; therefore, knowing the normal range of the possible locations is essential. our purpose was to assess the location of the mental foramen and mandibular canal in an iranian population using panoramic radiography.standard panoramic radiographies were performed. th...

accurate diagnosis of the root canal morphology and anatomy is essential for thorough shaping and cleaning of the entire root canal system and consequent successful treatment. this report describes a case of maxillary second premolar with two roots and three root canals (two mesial and distal palatal canals). the case report underlines the importance of complete knowledge about root canal morph...
