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
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
prompt medical decisions and the joy I received from solving acute medical problems. A career in surgery would offer me the most personal and professional satisfaction, and therefore I made the decision to pursue a one-year surgical internship to confirm and define my specific interests in surgery. Before graduating, I completed a sub-internship in vascular surgery, a field I initially gained exposure to during my surgery clerkship, and immediately became captivated by the surgical, medical and diagnostic
Introduction Cracking joints may be viewed in several aspects. It can be viewed as a medical treatment, form of habit, etcetera. This study focuses on the habitual aspect of cracking joints wherein cracking a joint will produce a popping sound. This study aims to explore the general perspective of physical therapists in the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay,Memorial Medical Center Incorporation (UERMMMCI). Joint "cracking" can result from a negative pressure pulling nitrogen gas temporarily
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
towards a larger sample. Again these can be also shaped to be done in a particular setting (like the dental wing in a facility) or in specific groups of patients (like age groups); and these are called as tailored surveys. Moreover, surveys can also be paper based, telephonic or through internet or any other means as given by Picker Institute (2009). The narratives are mostly qualitative tools. These can include interviews with patients on specific subjects or incidents enumerate Klaucy et al (2009).
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 manner. Medical robotics makes extensive use of telepresence. The discipline of

superimposed information in the user’s area of view and can take him into a new world. The ultimate goal of augmented reality is to create virtual objects that are so real such that they are difficult to differentiate from the real environment. This paper review various characteristics of augmented reality as well as its applications in various fields like military, entertainment
