Scoliosis is a common spinal condition where the spine curves to the side and thus deforms the spine. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to evaluate the deformation severity of scoliosis. In current clinical diagnosis, the standard curvat...
As is eminent, lung cancer is one of the death frightening syndromes among people in present cases. The earlier diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer can increase the endurance rate of the affected people. But, the structure of the cancer cell makes...
About one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in life. Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women and if it is identified at an early stage by the use of mammograms, x-ray images of the breast, the...
