Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for segmenting a brain tumor from various MRI sequencing techniques. A plurality of MRI sequences of a head of a patient are received. Each MRI sequence includes a T1-weighted with contrast image, a Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) image, a T1-weighted image, and a T2-weighted image. Each image of the plurality of MRI sequences is registered to an anatomical atlas. A plurality of modified MRI sequences are generated by removing a skull from each image in the plurality of MRI sequences. A tumor segmentation map is determined by segmenting a tumor within a brain in each image in the plurality of modified MRI sequences. The tumor segmentation map is applied to each of the plurality of MRI sequences to thereby generate a plurality of labelled MRI sequences.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to compounds according to formula I that bind more specifically to mutated androgen receptors than to the wild type androgen receptors and therefore are useful as imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) used in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer.

A biological evidence collection apparatus provides contact-free drying, storage, identification, and protection against sample switch and contamination of collected biological samples. The apparatus may include the described forensic evidence collection kit which provides a set of tools for the collection and storage of biological evidence. The collection apparatus may also be used as part of a sexual assault evidence collection kit, or a kit for the collection of buccal swabs, and the like.
摘要:
There is disclosed a system for estimating the volume of food on a plate, for example meal, with a mobile device. The system uses a camera and a light pattern projector. Images of the food with and without a projected light pattern on it enable to compute the tridimensional shape and volume, while image segmentation and recognition steps estimate one or more food types in said images. By applying accessible knowledge databases, the carbs content is estimated and the associated insulin bolus doses are provided. Developments comprise coding of the light pattern, different light sources and associated wavelengths, motion compensations, additional optics, estimation of fat content and associated multi-wave boluses. The invention can be implemented in a glucometer or in an insulin pump controller provided with a test strip port or with a mobile phone.
摘要:
An acetabular component alignment device for total hip arthroplasty comprises a calibration component allowing for aligning a main instrument axis (5) of the acetabular component depending on a set of two patient specific calibration parameters relating to rotational offsets of the acetabular component, whereas the device is constructed in such a way that calibration parameters may be chosen such that a second parameter of the set of calibration parameters is adjustable independently from a first parameter of the set of calibration parameters by rotating the acetabular component around the main instrument axis (5) of the acetabular component. A method for obtaining patient specific calibration parameters for alignment of an acetabular component in total hip arthroplasty, comprises the steps of determining patient specific morphology information relating to a geometry of the patient's pelvis; and processing the patient specific morphology information for obtaining a set of two patient specific calibration parameters relating to rotational offsets of the acetabular component. The calibration parameters are chosen such that a second parameter of the set of calibration parameters may be adjusted independently from a first parameter of the set of calibration parameters by rotating the acetabular component around a main instrument axis of the acetabular component.
摘要:
The invention concerns an in vitro method of determining a genotype relating to hereditary nasal parakeratosis (HNPK) in a dog. According to the invention the presence or the absence of a genetic variation in the SUV39H2 gene sequence is indicative of said disorder. The invention also concerns polypeptide based methods for determining said disorder. Further, nucleic acids, polypeptides and antibodies usable in said method are disclosed.
