Aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a recently introduced ultrasound (US) parameter for the estimation of bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, when extensively used in a clinical context to investigate adult women of variable body mass index (BMI). A total of 414 female patients (aged 51–60 years) underwent a spinal dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and an abdominal echographic...
The detection of neurophysiological features by means of electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most recurrent medical exams to be performed on human beings. As it stands, EEG trials are not always sufficient to deliver a clear and precise diagnosis for much pathology. Hence, it must be integrated with other exams. However, we can use all additional instrumental exams to improve the quality of the...
An adaptive initialization method was developed to produce fully automatic processing frameworks based on graph-cut and gradient flow active contour algorithms. This method was applied to abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) images for segmentation of liver tissue and hepatic tumors. Twenty-five anonymized datasets were randomly collected from several radiology centres without specific request on acquisition...
