CT perfusion offers vital blood flow and volume information for patients presenting with stroke. This information can be used to provide a more informed treatment. A popular approach for the solution of physiologic parameters using CT perfusion calculates a residual function as an intermediary result, using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for deconvolution. Typically in clinical use, only the final parameters are p Read More

Oncological diseases are getting immense importance in today’s Health care scenario. Computational applications have critical role in medical applications. Accurate detection of abnormal mass in an early stage is essential for its treatment and hence increases the survival rate. Advanced Imaging Techniques play a great role to detect these abnormalities or tumour. But manual detection of these abnormalities or tumour e Read More

The paper investigates four major issues in the active field of lung computer aided diagnosis (CAD) using content-based image retrieval (CBIR), which are: creating an efficient feature index for lung nodules for similarity measures, database creation of nodules with proven pathology, robust CBIR system and present a self-diagnosing environment to assist the physician in taking the right decision at right time. The results defin Read More

Urinary continence depends on, an intact internal urethral sphincter (IUS) with a high alpha-sympathetic tone gained by learning in childhood both create high urethral pressure. The IUS is a collagen-muscle tissue cylinder that extends from the bladder neck to the perineal membrane in both sexes. Childbirth trauma causes injury to the vagina and the intimately lying IUS. It lacerates the collagen frame of the IUS. A weak torn Read More

Infection countinue to be a significant health problem and the cause of patient mortality and morbidity especially in developing countries. Accurate and timely detection of infection and inflammation may have essential implications for the managing of patients. Imaging by nuclear medicinal techniques, due to its high sensitivity, offers a fascinating choice for diagnosis of infectious foci. The use of radiopharmaceuticals for tar Read More
