Spectrum analysis of microwave breast examination data and reconstructed images - Trang 62-65
D. Li, P.M. Meaney, M.W. Fanning, Q. Fang, S.A. Pendergrass, T. Raynolds
A broadband microwave tomographic imaging system is being developed for breast
cancer detection which exploits the significant electrical property contrast
between normal and malignant tissue. The improved image reconstruction algorithm
directly processes the log-magnitude and phase values of the measured fields
with the frequency rich data set being utilized to acquire the absolute
scattered phas... hiện toàn bộ

Statistically-based reorientation of diffusion tensor field - Trang 757-760
Dongrong Xu, Susumu Mori, Dinggang Shen, C. Davatzikos
Presents a new method for warping of diffusion tensor fields. The proper
reorientation of a tensor field requires knowledge of the underlying fiber
orientation, which is not known a priori. Accordingly, a probabilistic
representation of the fiber direction is adopted and used in a Procrustean
estimation of the rotational component of the warping field. The estimated
rotational component, along wit... hiện toàn bộ

The elastic reconstruction of soft tissues - Trang 1035-1038
Lianghao Han, A. Noble, M. Burcher
A finite element based nonlinear inverse scheme is presented to reconstruct the
elastic properties of soft tissues subjected to an external compression. An
objective function relating the least-square difference of model-predicted and
measured displacement or strain fields from a sequence of images (B-mode or MRI)
is minimized with respect to the unknown material parameters. To obtain
physically m... hiện toàn bộ

Rapid semi-automated segmentation and analysis of neuronal morphology and function from confocal image data - Trang 233-236
D.R. Holmes, M.J. Moore, C.B. Mantilla, G.C. Sieck, R.A. Robb
Confocal microscopy combined with cellular labeling techniques can be an
effective method for imaging the morphology of a cell as well as various
functional characteristics in vivo. Current analysis methods are manual, and
therefore, time-consuming and prone to error. Through the development of custom
algorithms and application design, the analysis process can be improved to
decrease analysis time... hiện toàn bộ

Optical Doppler coherence tomography algorithms: quantitative analysis - Trang 293-296
Daqing Piao, Quing Zhu, L. Otis
We present, to our knowledge, the first quantitative comparisons of five flow
estimation algorithms for optical Doppler coherent tomography. We have used
simulated 1D, 2D, and in vivo blood flow data to investigate the estimation
accuracy and sensitivity of these algorithms. We introduce, among these five
methods, 3 new algorithms: weighted centroid, sliding-window filtering, and
autocorrelation. ... hiện toàn bộ

A shape reconstruction method for diffuse optical tomography using a transport model and level sets - Trang 1015-1018
O. Dorn
A two-step shape reconstruction method for diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is
presented which uses adjoint fields and level sets. The propagation of
near-infrared photons in tissue is modeled by the time-dependent linear
transport equation, of which the absorption parameter has to be reconstructed
from boundary measurements. In the shape reconstruction approach, it is assumed
that the inhomogeneo... hiện toàn bộ

A new convergent MAP reconstruction algorithm for emission tomography using ordered subsets and separable surrogates - Trang 409-412
Ing-Tsung Hsiao, A. Rangarajan, G. Gindi
We investigate a new, fast and provably convergent MAP reconstruction algorithm
for emission tomography. The new algorithm, termed C-OSEM has its origin in the
alternating algorithm derivation of the well known EM algorithm for emission
tomography. In this re-derivation, the complete data explicitly enters the
objective function as an unknown variable. While the entire complete data gets
updated i... hiện toàn bộ

3D reconstruction of 2D crystals from projections in real space - Trang 689-692
R. Marabini, G.T. Herman, C.O.S. Sorzano, J.M. Carazo, J.J. Fernandez, S. Matej
A new algorithm for 3D reconstruction of two-dimensional crystals from
projections is presented, and applied to biological macromolecules imaged using
electron microscopy. Its main departure from the traditional approach is that it
works in real space, rather than in Fourier space, and is iterative. This
approach has the advantage of making it convenient to introduce additional
constraints (such a... hiện toàn bộ

Multiscale tumor detection and segmentation in mammograms - Trang 213-216
Xiao-Ping Zhang
Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women. Automatic computer-aided
analysis method can help radiologists to make more reliable and efficient
decisions. Tumors and other abnormalities are of basic interests that need to be
segmented and extracted in mammograms. In this paper, a new wavelet-packet
multiscale image segmentation method is presented first. By combining this new
method with... hiện toàn bộ

Support vector machine learning for detection of microcalcifications in mammograms - Trang 201-204
I. El-Naqa, Yongyi Yang, M.N. Wernick, N.P. Galatsanos, R. Nishikawa
Microcalcification (MC) clusters in mammograms can be an indicator of breast
cancer. In this work we propose for the first time the use of support vector
machine (SVM) learning for automated detection of MCs in digitized mammograms.
In the proposed framework, MC detection is formulated as a supervised-learning
problem and the method of SVM is employed to develop the detection algorithm.
