Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

225
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.1K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Trial and Error and Algorithm01:12

Trial and Error and Algorithm

399
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Anatomical Positions01:11

Anatomical Positions

19.5K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

26.6K
Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.4K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Accurate anatomical measurements of the knee are crucial for diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Manual measurement in tomographic datasets is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an automated algorithm for precise anatomical measurements in knee tomographic datasets.
  • To assess the reliability and accuracy of the automated approach compared to expert measurements.

Main Methods:

  • An atlas-based registration method was employed, transferring landmarks from segmented atlases to target knee volumes.
  • Multistage volume-to-volume and surface-to-volume registration techniques were utilized.
  • Leave-one-out validation was performed on 24 extremity cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Main Results:

  • The automated algorithm demonstrated high reliability, with an intraclass correlation (ICC) above 0.95 compared to expert measurements.
  • Absolute agreement with expert measurements was excellent, with median errors below 0.25 degrees for tibial slope and alignment, and below 0.2 mm for other key metrics.
  • The algorithm's performance surpassed inter-reader reliability for several metrics.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automated algorithm provides accurate and reliable anatomical measurements of the knee.
  • This approach has the potential to streamline clinical workflows and enhance the consistency of knee measurements.
  • Automation mitigates the impact of operator experience, leading to more reproducible results in knee imaging analysis.
