Surface Tension and Surface Energy01:16

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

3.3K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Wood Surfacing01:14

Wood Surfacing

362
Wood surfacing is a critical finishing process designed to smoothen the wood surface, enhance its dimensional accuracy, and make handling safer. This process compensates for potential shrinkage during the seasoning phase by marginally increasing the wood dimensions before surfacing. It also helps correct some distortions that may occur as the wood dries.
The equipment used in the surfacing process is a plane equipped with rotating blades. This tool efficiently smoothens the wood surface and can...

Bone Structure

51.8K
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

40.5K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.6K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.4K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Diagnosis
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate bone segmentation in 3D CT images is challenging due to weak and diffused boundaries of close bones.
  • Strong interaction between adjacent bone surfaces hinders precise segmentation.
  • Existing methods struggle with noise and narrow joint spaces caused by degeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an automatic method for accurate bone segmentation in 3D CT images.
  • To address the difficulties in segmenting extremely close bones with weak boundaries.
  • To improve the detection of bone boundaries by considering 3D surface normal direction.

Main Methods:

  • The method employs a surface tracing corrector with Gaussian standard deviation to refine normal direction estimation.
  • An optimal Gaussian standard deviation value is determined for each surface point.
  • A 1D signal is constructed and refined along the corrected normal direction for edge point localization.

Main Results:

  • The method achieved a Dice overlap coefficient (DOC) of [Formula: see text]% for wrist segmentation.
  • For hip joint segmentation, DOCs of [Formula: see text] (pelvis), [Formula: see text]% (left femoral head), and [Formula: see text]% (right femoral head) were obtained.
  • The approach demonstrated robustness to noise and narrow joint spaces.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method significantly improves segmentation accuracy for challenging bone structures.
  • The approach outperforms two state-of-the-art methods in accuracy.
  • This technique offers a robust solution for precise bone segmentation in medical imaging.
