The use of eye for diagnosis for detecting the disease has been used long time ago. However, for conventional medical practitioners this procedure are used to detect diseases that cause vision problems. This method is widely used by practitioners of alternative medicine that uses the eyes to detect the presence of disease, such as iridology practitioners. In this paper we study the method adopt...

this case reports a rare condition of scurvy which posed a diagnostic difficulty. however, a thorough medical and diet history, along with clinical and histopathological examination aided in prompt diagnosis and successful management of the case. occurrence of scurvy in today’s contemporary society is said to be rare. lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet can lead to this condition. d...

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) provides a computerized diagnostic result as a “second opinion” to assist radiologists in the diagnosis of various diseases by use of medical images. CAD has become a practical clinical approach in diagnostic radiology, although, at present, primarily in the area of detection of breast cancer in mammograms. Currently, a large research effort has been devoted to th...

We present a system for computer aided diagnosis of bone tumors in the facial skeleton. There are many diierent lesions with ra-diographic manifestation in the jaws. Our system helps performing the diierential diagnosis of these. The input is a digitized orthopantomo-graph (OPG) in which the user marks the position of the lesion with a single mouse click. An active contour model then automatica...

We have developed computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes for the detection of lung nodules, interstitial lung diseases, interval changes, and asymmetric opacities, and also for the differential diagnosis of lung nodules and interstitial lung diseases on chest radiographs. Observer performance studies indicate clearly that radiologists' diagnostic accuracy was improved significantly when radiolo...

During the last decade or so, concepts for database support for non-standard applications like CAD or CASE were developed. Simultaneously, it turned out that the classical transaction concept does not sufficiently support those design applications. New transaction models —such as longlived transactions or cooperative transactions— have been specified for this application domain. This paper firs...

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women worldwide. Mammography is the basic tool available for screening to find the abnormality at the earliest. It is shown to be effective in reducing mortality rates caused by breast cancer. Mammograms produced by low radiation X-ray are difficult to interpret, especially in screening context. The sensitivity of screening depends on ima...
