This chapter covers selected aspects of the segmentation and measurements of spatial or temporal features (i.e. morphometry) of biological objects in biomedical (non-optical)1 and microscopic images. The term measurement refers to a succinct quantitative representation of image features over space and time. This implies the application of the act of geometric measurement to the raw imaging data...

Evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque composition and morphometry may yield insight into plaque biology and the mechanisms of plaque-associated thrombosis. Analysis of intravascular ultrasound radiofrequency (IVUS-RF) backscatter signal is one technology that provides in vivo assessment of both atherosclerotic plaque composition and morphometry. We summarize three different approaches to IVUS-RF...

the objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. after dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the sigma statt software. t...

size at sexual maturity and patterns of somatic growth are important aspects of reproductive history of crab. the main purpose of this study is to provide an estimate for the onset of morphological sexual maturity in mangrove crab, opusia indica from a population located in korangi creek intertidal mud flat (karachi, pakistan) based on relative growth. the crabs were monthly collected through q...

ISSR markers and morphometry determine genetic diversity population structure in Hedera helix L. | Abdul Shakoor, Gul Zaib, Fang Zhao, Wuyang Li, Xincan Lan, Somayeh Esfandani-Bozchaloyi Agricultural Journals

Voxel-based morphometry is a method for detecting group differences in the density or volume of brain matter. The authors reviewed the literature on use of voxel-based morphometry in brain MRI imaging research to examine the capabilities of this method for clearly identifying specific differences in patients with MCI and AD (and compared with healthy subjects). A technique of segmenting human b...
