Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

X-ray Imaging

10.0K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Computer Science
  • Wildlife Monitoring

Background:

  • Camera traps are essential ecological tools but generate vast amounts of data requiring extensive human review.
  • Classifying images, including individual sequences and environmental triggers, is time-consuming and costly.
  • Automated image processing is needed to streamline wildlife research workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate EventFinder, an automated computer program for classifying camera trap images.
  • To reduce the time and cost associated with manual image review in ecological studies.
  • To improve the efficiency of processing large image datasets from camera trap surveys.

Main Methods:

  • Developed EventFinder using background subtraction and color histogram comparison techniques.
  • Tested EventFinder's accuracy against human-classified images.
  • Evaluated the program's performance in reducing data requiring human input and its false positive rate.

Main Results:

  • EventFinder reduced the data requiring human input by an average of 90.8%.
  • The automated classification achieved an accuracy of 96.1%.
  • A low false positive rate of 3.4% was recorded.

Conclusions:

  • EventFinder offers an efficient solution for processing camera trap images, significantly cutting down operator time.
  • The program enhances the cost-effectiveness of wildlife monitoring projects that generate numerous images.
