Six of the ten leading causes of death in the United States can be directly linked to diet. Measuring accurate dietary intake, the process of determining what someone eats is considered to be an open research problem in the nutrition and health fields. We are developing image-based tools in order to automatically obtain accurate estimates of what foods a user consumes. We have developed a novel food...
In this paper, we propose a segmentation method based on normalized cut and superpixels. The method relies on color and texture cues for fast computation and efficient use of memory. The method is used for food image segmentation as part of a mobile food record system we have developed for dietary assessment and management. The accurate estimate of nutrients relies on correctly labelled food items...
To explore the preparation and characters of a novel nanosized magnetic liposome that contained PEI-As2O3/Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (PEI- As2O3/MZF) complex. Experimental results suggest that PEI-As2O3/MZF magnetic nanoliposome is a kind of appropriate material which has multiple effects for tumor thermotherapy, gene therapy and chemotherapy.
Photodynamic therapy of phthalocyanines has been shown to have antitumor activity in some tumor cells. However, the photodynamic therapy mechanism of amphiphilic phthalocyanine zinc in Human Hepatoma Bel-7402 cells has not been clarified. In the present study, therefore, the photodynamic therapy effect of amphiphilic phthalocyanine zinc on the proliferation and apoptosis in Bel-7402 cells was investigated...
A high resolution transformable PET camera for human research has been developed. It can be transformed from whole-body mode (83 cm detector ring diameter, 13 cm axial FOV) to brain/breast mode (54 cm diameter, 21 cm axial FOV). This flexibility allows more optimal imaging for more dedicated human research studies, compared to commercial systems that are designed primarily for whole-body cancer imaging...
