Meanwhile, that population is still rising by twenty one millions per year . The prevalence rates of...the Testing of Lower Extremity Medical Devices
Ankle-Foot Anatomy The ankle-foot complex has two important functions in walking: stable the stance, and provide propulsion. Therefore, an understanding of the anatomy of this area is essential for designing lower extremity medical devices. The ankle joint is the...the Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Devices
Hand Anatomy The hand is responsible for nearly 90% of upper limb function. A large number of joints and bones provide the motion capabilities of the hand[8]. The hand has 27 bones, and the fingers are labeled digits 1-5, with the thumb as digit 1, and the little...practical way to monitor smoking and environmental factors
practical way to monitor smoking and environmental factors Cigarette smoking is the principal cause of premature death and disability in the United States. Tobacco smoking is causally linked to 13 different types of neoplastic disease. Of the 230,000 Americans who are...Matching of Micro-CT image With Histology
Matching of Micro-CT image With Histology Image registration is an emerging field in medical research which is concerned with aligning volumetric data from multiple modalities, such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and even histology. While registration algorithms for the...Micro-CT Scanning
Micro-CT Scanning Micro-CT scanners use many of the same physical principles as traditional CT-scanners, but are engineered to accommodate smaller samples. Beginning at x-ray production, the x-ray vacuum tube contains a tungsten filament through which a user inputted...Micro-CT in Breast Cancer and Margin Assessment
Micro-CT in Breast Cancer and Margin Assessment Micro-CT scans of lumpectomy specimens are another proposed solution to intraoperative margin assessment. Micro-CT is a technology which allows for 3-dimensional imaging of smaller specimens, providing faster imaging...Intraoperative techniques for determining margin status
Intraoperative techniques for determining margin status A concerted effort to reduce re-excision rates has produced an active interest in intraoperative margin status determination. A fast, accurate intraoperative method would allow surgeons to resect tissue while the...Margin Status in Breast Conservation Therapy
Margin Status in Breast Conservation Therapy Margin status is a prevalent issue in cancer surgery, and especially so in lumpectomy procedures. Margin status refers to the presence of cancer on the surface of excised tissue, and is most often described in one of three...Breast Cancer Treatment
Overview of Breast Cancer Treatment Breast Cancer is a serious issue in women’s health. It is the most prevalent invasive cancer in women with over 200,000 new cases in the US in 2013, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (“Cancer Facts &...Evaluating Dose Summation in Gynecological
Evaluating Dose Summation in Gynecological 95,000 women were estimated to be diagnosed with gynecological malignancies for 2014 alone. About 12,900 of these cases will be invasive cervical cancer . Approximately 54,870 new cases of cancer of the uterus will be...Knowledge-Based Radiation Therapy Database Optimization on Head and Neck Cancer
Introduction Most head and neck cancers (HNC) begin in squamous cells that line the moist surface inside the head and neck (HN). According to National Cancer Institute, HNC can begin in multiple sites and from different cells within a particular site . This type of...Medical Imaging Overutilization
Medical Imaging Overutilization Overutilization of medical imaging services is a healthcare disparity that may not be widely recognized by the healthcare industry, but this issue has known implications on quality, value, and safety of healthcare delivery....Computer-aided diagnosis CAD
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has become a vital part of medical evaluations and pathology detection in the United States [1]. Systematic use of CAD systems since 1980s has caused a signi ficant change in the utilization of the computer output for...Texture Features in Cellprofiler
Haralick features Haralick features provide information on how the intensities of pixels in images of a certain position are related with the intensities of neighboring pixels. These features originated from the co-occurrence matrix. In the Cellprofiler used...Cellprofiler
CellProfiler is free open-source software or framework which enables pathologists and biologists who do not have specific knowledge in fields like computer vision, image processing and programming for quantitative measurement and evaluation of the phenotypes from...Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the type of cancer in which there is unchecked growth of unusual cells either in one or in both the lungs. These anomalous cells do not perform the functions of healthy human cells and do not mature into normal cells. This abnormality affects the proper...Contrariety between normal human cells and cancer causing cells in the Human body
Cancer cells vary from typical cells from various perspectives that permit them to become intrusive and unmanageable. The imperative contrast is that disease cells are not as specialized as normal human cells in the body. Normal human cells can grow into cells...Cancer
Cancer is known as gathering of related illnesses. In a wide range of cancer, some portion of the body’s cells, start to separate without halting and spread into encompassing tissues. Human body is made up of cells which are trillions in number. Tumor can begin any...Clinical Dose Reduction Strategies
Clinical Dose Reduction Strategies Some clinically used strategies for dose optimization will be briefly discussed in this subsection. It is notable that for dose optimization, the exam must be performed using doses that are As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA),...
