Brain atrophy has emerged as a clinically relevant component of disease progression in
multiple sclerosis. Progressive loss of brain tissue bulk can be detected in vivo in a sensitive …

A number of noninvasive imaging techniques have been used for the evaluation of bone
marrow, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone marrow scintigraphy. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A technique of segmenting total gray matter (GM) and total
white matter (WM) in human brain is now available. We investigated the effects of age and …

In multidimensional image analysis, there are, and will continue to be, situations wherein
automatic image segmentation methods fail, calling for considerable user assistance in the …

Marching cubes is a simple and popular method for extracting iso-surfaces from implicit
functions or discrete three-dimensional (3-D) data. However, it does not guarantee the …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the white matter. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
is proven to be a sensitive method of monitoring the progression of this disease and of its …

This paper extends a previously reported theory and algorithms for object definition based
on fuzzy connectedness. In this approach, a strength of connectedness is determined …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) is
known to cause persistent neurologic sequelae, the underlying structural changes remain …

Detailed analysis of the upper airway has not been performed in children with obstructive
sleep apnea. We used magnetic resonance imaging and automatic segmentation to …

Medical imaging has opened a new door into biomedical research. In order to study various
diseases of the brain and detect their impact on brain structure, robust and user friendly …
