The fuzzy C -means (FCM) clustering procedure is an unsupervised form of grouping the homogenous pixels of an image in the feature space into clusters. A brain magnetic resonance (MR) image is affected by noise and intensity inhomogeneity (IIH) durin...
BACKGROUND: There is increasing appreciation of the association of obesity beyond co-morbidities, such as cancers, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and stroke to also impact upon the muscle to give rise to sarcopenic obesity. Phenotypic knowledge of ob...
PURPOSE: MRI of organs and musculoskeletal structures in the female pelvis presents a unique display of pelvic anatomy. Automated segmentation of pelvic structures plays an important role in personalized diagnosis and treatment on pelvic structures d...
In brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, rapidly acquired two-dimensional (2D) T1-weighted sagittal slices are typically used to confirm brainstem atrophy and the presence of signals in the posterior pituitary gland. Image segmentation...
Modern imaging procedures, including CT and MR diagnostics, play a significant role in recognizing, characterizing, determining the extent of pancreatic tumor lesions, assessing their operability, and evaluating response to treatment and patient foll...

PURPOSE: Quantitative measurement of various anatomical regions of the brain and spinal cord (SC) in MRI images are used as unique biomarkers to consider progress and effects of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. This paper present...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a type of brain disease which causes visual, sensory, and motor problems for people with a detrimental effect on the functioning of the nervous system. In order to diagnose MS, multiple screening methods have been proposed ...
For the clinical assessment of cardiac vitality, time-continuous tomographic imaging of the heart is used. To further detect e.g., pathological tissue, multiple imaging contrasts enable a thorough diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For...
