Microcomputed tomography (microCT) is a particular version of computerized axial tomography commonly used by radiologists which reaches resolutions of the order of a few micrometers. In biology, this technique is especially useful for the study of hard tissues, such as calcified bone and dental matrices, because of their high linear attenuation coefficient. MicroCT images, though, are affected by...
Extracting information about the structure of biological tissue from static image data is a complex task which requires a series of computationally intensive operations. Here we present how the power of multi-core CPUs and massively parallel GPUs have been utilised to extract information about the shape, size and path followed by the mammalian oviduct, called the fallopian tube in humans, from histology...
Cardiotocographic data provide physicians information about foetal development and, through assessment of specific parameters (like accelerations, uterine contractions, ...), permit to assess conditions such as foetal distress. An incorrect evaluation of foetal status can be of course very dangerous. In the last decades, to improve interpretation of cardiotocographic recordings, great interest has...
Diagnosis of the underlying causes of widespread spinal pathologies such as back pain and whiplash remains problematic. Many studies suggest that segmental instability may occur and that the study of the intervertebral kinematics can be a valuable, objective method to assess spinal segment functionality. Direct measurement of the intervertebral kinematics results very invasive and unpractical; as...
