PURPOSE: In pharmacokinetic analysis of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI data, a descriptive physiological model should be selected properly out of a set of candidate models. Classical techniques suggested for this purpose suffer from issues like comput...
Dental records play an important role in forensic identification. To this end, postmortem dental findings and teeth conditions are recorded in a dental chart and compared with those of antemortem records. However, most dentists are inexperienced at r...
In this paper, we propose a generalization of the level set segmentation approach by supplying a novel method for adaptive estimation of active contour parameters. The presented segmentation method is fully automatic once the lesion has been detected...
