Abstract—Brain image segmentation is challenging task for proper clinical diagnosis. In this paper we present automatic segmentation of the brain into four classes namely background, cerebro spinal fluid, grey matter and white matter. Accurate segmentation of the tumor in the brain is also achieved using the proposed method. Segmentation is achieved by calculating the distance of pixel with respect to the mean and passing only those pixels having a specified variance by assuming a Gaussian distribution
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy usually referred as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). MRS/NMR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine various metabolites. It can be performed in vivo as well as in vitro. A problem with in vivo NMR spectroscopy is recognizing individual metabolite contribution within the spectrum, at short echo time. Echo-planar- imaging termed as fast imaging is preferred for MRS. A chemical shift information is suitable for recognizing the singlet resonances
Therefore, the main research question is: What are the general perspectivesof physical therapists on cracking joints? Related to this main research question, the following area of interest will be explored: 1. What are the factors that affect cracking joints? 2. What are the possible effects of cracking joints? 3. How do physical therapists
During MR imaging, the patient is placed in a strong magnetic field which causes the protons in the water molecule of the body to align in either a parallel (low energy) or anti-parallel (high energy) orientation with the magnetic field. Then a radiofrequency pulse is introduced which forces the spinning protons to move out of equilibrium state. When a radio frequency
In this paper will be analyzed the five major approaches in psychology. These perspectives have developed different theories for human/animals mind and behavior. Also, will be discussed the differences of these perspectives and the field they serve. To begin with a brief history in order to be understood the origins of psychology. The ancient Greek philosophers were considering about psychological issues. Hippocrates (400 BC) consider a relationship between personality and body. Aristotle connected
Kadidia Tall Nursing 281 (Pathophysiology I) Research Paper (Left Heart Failure) Professor White 27 September 2015 Introduction: The human body is a wonderful machine, but sometimes it can have mechanical break downs Within it. One of the many break downs is the Left Heart Failure this disease is a very progressive disorder and once it starts, anything short of a transplant is hard to fix. The Left Heart Failure which is the injury to the heart will cause a lot of damage
Over the past 100 years, modern science in collaboration with technology has been responsible for some phenomenal inventions to aid the delivery of medical treatment such as the x-ray machine, ultra sound technology and the cochlear implant. One such development has been initiated in field of robotic surgery, which is redefining the way in which patients undergo procedures. Robotic surgery utilizes the robot to actually perform the tasks that were performed by humans but in a more precise and efficient
