Health professionals extensively use Two- Dimensional (2D) Ultrasound (US) videos and images to visualize and measure internal organs for various purposes including evaluation of muscle architectural changes. US images can be used to…
Treatment for high-grade precancerous cervical lesions and early-stage cancers, mainly affecting women of reproductive age, often involves fertility-sparing treatment methods. Commonly used local treatments for cervical precancers have…
The length of the three-dimensional filaments observed in the fourth public data-release of the SDSS is measured using the {\em local skeleton} method. It consists in defining the set of points where the gradient of the smoothed density…
Simulations of three dimensional ultrasound propagation in heterogeneous media are computationally intensive due to the constraints arising from the large size of the domain, which is on the order of hundreds of wavelengths, and the small…
[Abbreviated] Context: Studies of the LMC's internal kinematics have provided a detailed view of its structure, largely by the exquisite proper motion data supplied by Gaia. However, LoS velocities are only available for a small subset of…
Purpose: Lymph nodes (LNs) in the chest have a tendency to enlarge due to various pathologies, such as lung cancer or pneumonia. Clinicians routinely measure nodal size to monitor disease progression, confirm metastatic cancer, and assess…
Results of the long-term (11 years, from 1996 to 2006) H$\alpha$ and H$\beta$ line variations of the active galactic nucleus of NGC 4151 are presented. High quality spectra (S/N>50 and R~8A) of H$\alpha$ and H$\beta$ were investigated. We…
We investigate the issue of how accurately we can constrain the lepton number asymmetry xi_nu = mu_nu/T_nu in the Universe by using future observations of 21 cm line fluctuations and cosmic microwave background (CMB). We find that…
A study of the variability of the broad emission-line parameters of 3C390.3, an active galaxy with the double-peaked emission-line profiles, is presented. We give a detail analysis of variation in the broad Ha and Hb profiles, the ratios,…
Vertebral morphological measurements are important across various disciplines, including spinal biomechanics and clinical applications, pre- and post-operatively. These measurements also play a crucial role in anthropological longitudinal…
We present a novel methodology to detect imperfect bilateral symmetry in CT of human anatomy. In this paper, the structurally symmetric nature of the pelvic bone is explored and is used to provide interventional image augmentation for…
Given its real-time capability to quantify mechanical tissue properties, ultrasound shear wave elastography holds significant promise in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. However, existing shear wave elastography methods fall short in…
We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The dataset includes photometric and spectroscopic monitoring in the optical and…
The characterization of our Galaxy's longest filamentary gas features has been the subject of several studies in recent years, producing not only a sizeable sample of large-scale filaments, but also confusion as to whether all these…
Background and Objective: Pelvic floor disorders are prevalent diseases and patient care remains difficult as the dynamics of the pelvic floor remains poorly known. So far, only 2D dynamic observations of straining exercises at excretion…
Dynamic MRI may capture temporal anatomical changes in soft tissue organs with high contrast but the obtained sequences usually suffer from limited volume coverage which makes the high resolution reconstruction of organ shape trajectories a…
Open spina bifida (SB) is one of the most common congenital defects and can lead to impaired brain development. Emerging fetal surgery methods have shown considerable success in the treatment of patients with this severe anomaly.…
Carotid atherosclerosis is a major contributor to ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. Conventional ultrasound assessment is commonly based on intima-media thickness, plaque appearance, stenosis degree, and peak systolic velocity,…
Background: Abdominal wall defects, such as incisional hernias, are a common source of pain and discomfort and often require repeated surgical interventions. Traditional mesh repair techniques typically rely on fixed overlap based on defect…
Functionality of living cells is inherently linked to subunits with dimensions on the nanoscale. In case of osteoblasts the cell surface plays a particularly important role for adhesion and spreading which are crucial properties with regard…
