Anatomical spatial concepts are indispensable in educational and clinical discourse, yet a system for representing these concepts has not been proposed. Guided by explicit principles and definitions of the Digital Anatomist Foundational Model, we developed an ontology of spaces, surfaces, lines and points that are associated with anatomical structures. Ontologies for Anatomical Structure and An...

We present a novel method to transfer speech animation recorded in low resolution videos onto realistic 3D facial models. Unsupervised learning is utilized on a speech video corpus to find underlying manifold of facial configurations. K-means clustering is applied on the low dimensional space to find key speaking-related facial shapes. With a small set of laser scanner captured 3D models relate...

OBJECTIVE To describe the interdomal fat pad, an important anatomical structure that, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the rhinoplasty literature. DESIGN Anatomical observations were made during a consecutive series of external rhinoplasties, and the existence of the interdomal fat pad was documented in patients with noses of varying nasal skin thicknesses. SETTING Private facial ...

Bronchoscopy allows to examine the patient airways for detection of lesions and sampling of tissues without surgery. A main drawback in lung cancer diagnosis is the difficulty to check whether the exploration is following the correct path to the nodule that has to be biopsied. The most extended guidance uses fluoroscopy which implies repeated radiation of clinical staff and patients. Alternativ...

Due to the increasing demand for more medical images in clinical practices for better assessment and diagnosis, medical image analysis has gained more importance than ever. In this chapter, we will focus on the subarea of anatomical structure detection and segmentation, which plays an important role in speeding up the diagnostic work flow. Although remarkable progresses have made in detecting a...

A brief summary will be given of the putative etiological factors/topography that so far have been discussed in the context of cervicogenic headache (CEH), in approximately sequential order. Some of these factors have some basis in clinical research and practice; others are more speculative.
