Selecting a region of interest (ROI) within unsegmented volume data is one of the fundamental operations in volume data processing and analysis, yet it is difficult to perform the task efficiently This paper proposes several simple and intuitive sketching user interface tools for the selection task, in which the user can directly click or draw a stroke on the volume- rendered object on the screen...
It is unclear whether inhaled lidocaine is effective against airway hyperreactivity and inflammation in asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inhaled lidocaine on airway hyperreactivity and inflammation. Airway reactivity to inhaled histamine, cellular composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, plasma substance P (SP), and isolated lung tissue were evaluated in ovalbumin...
We previously developed an electrophysiological heart simulator. However, it was tedious and time-consuming to create the heart models for the simulation. In this study, we newly developed the graphical interface for modeling an excitation map and setting up some physiological parameters. Utilizing our interface enables us to save the labor for repetitive simulation trials using the individual and...
We developed an experimental system of Cardiac Arrhythmia Risk Evaluation (CARE) based on electrophysiological computer simulation. The system can evaluate a risk of tachyarrhythmia by the electrophysiological simulation with premature stimulation to many sites in the ventricular model, and users can browse the results on the Web page with the visualized data. The system is expected to be useful to...
This paper proposes a new type of inspection robot for rescue activity MOIRA2. We have developed a rescue robot MOIRA before, which has ability to dive into rubble. Based on the experience of MOIRA, we develop its improved version MOIRA 2. In this paper, we describe the characteristics and design policy of MOIRA2 comparing with MOIRA. Furthermore, the results of experiment are shown to demonstrate...
