Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI01:14

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

838
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

564
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Distribution Reliability and Automation01:25

Distribution Reliability and Automation

498
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Transcription Attenuation in Prokaryotes02:42

Transcription Attenuation in Prokaryotes

18.2K
Transcriptional attenuation occurs when RNA transcription is prematurely terminated due to the formation of a terminator mRNA hairpin structure.  Bacteria use these hairpins to regulate the transcription process and control the synthesis of several amino acids including histidine, lysine, threonine, and phenylalanine. Transcription attenuation takes place in the non-coding regions of mRNA.
There are several different mechanisms used to attenuate transcription. In ribosome mediated...

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis01:37

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis

65.7K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins02:18

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.3K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Medical Image Analysis
  • Developmental Neuroscience

Background:

  • Automated segmentation of neonatal brain MRI is challenging due to low signal-to-noise ratio, partial volume effects, and anatomical variability.
  • Existing methods often require significant manual correction, impacting reliability and processing time.
  • Accurate segmentation is crucial for understanding neonatal brain development and disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel learning-based method for automated segmentation of whole-brain cortical grey matter in neonatal T2-weighted MRI.
  • To refine existing segmentation techniques by combining the FAST algorithm with a Bayesian approach.
  • To improve the accuracy, consistency, and efficiency of neonatal brain MRI segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • A segmentation pipeline was developed combining the FAST algorithm (FSL) with a Bayesian segmentation approach.
  • A threshold matrix was created to minimize mislabeling errors of brain tissue types.
  • The algorithm was trained and tested on a small dataset of neonatal T2-weighted MRI scans (3 full-term, 4 preterm infants).

Main Results:

  • The proposed automated Bayesian segmentation method produced smoother and more consistent parcellations compared to FAST alone.
  • The method effectively removed subcortical structures and refined the edges of the cortical grey matter.
  • Significant reduction in manual input and editing was observed, improving reliability and processing time.

Conclusions:

  • The developed learning method offers a promising refinement for automated neonatal brain MRI segmentation.
  • This approach enhances the reliability and efficiency of segmenting cortical grey matter in both preterm and full-term neonates.
  • Future work will focus on validating the method with larger, multi-manufacturer datasets.
