The Skeleton in the Closet: Harvesting a Skeletonized IMA [PDF]

open access: yesThe Heart Surgery Forum, 2017
There is a considerable amount of data that using more than one arterial graft provides a survival advantage for patients undergoing coronary bypass operations. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has a set of official guidelines for the use of arterial grafts which include the following recommendations:Internal mammary arteries (IMA’s) should be used to ...

Scaffolding or Skeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A study investigated the use of software scaffolding for student design and construction of multimedia environments as a cross-curricular learning activity. The students (11 to 13 years) in a Melbourne, Australia, girls’ school, worked in a technologically enriched learning environment and were experienced multimedia developers. The girls were provided

The thyroid and the skeleton [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, 2004
The relationship between the thyroid and the skeleton was first suggested in 1891 when Von Recklinghausen (1891) reported a patient with hyperthyroidism and multiple fractures. Thyroid disease is common; more than 1% of British women receive thyroxine treatment, increasing to over 3% in those over 50 years of age, and the concern is that patients with ...

Computation of Thickness and Mechanical Properties of Interconnected Structures: Accuracy, Deviations, and Approaches for Correction

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2019
Identifying local thickness information of fibrous or highly porous structures is challenging. The analysis of tomography data calls for computationally fast, robust, and accurate algorithms. This work systematically investigates systematic errors in the

Four Severity Levels for Grading the Tortuosity of a Retinal Fundus Image

open access: yesJournal of Imaging, 2022
Hypertensive retinopathy severity classification is proportionally related to tortuosity severity grading. No tortuosity severity scale enables a computer-aided system to classify the tortuosity severity of a retinal image. This work aimed to introduce a

Accuracy Assessment of Joint Angles Estimated from 2D and 3D Camera Measurements

open access: yesSensors, 2022
To automatically evaluate the ergonomics of workers, 3D skeletons are needed. Most ergonomic assessment methods, like REBA, are based on the different 3D joint angles.

A modified K3M thinning algorithm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2016
The K3M thinning algorithm is a general method for image data reduction by skeletonization. It had proved its feasibility in most cases as a reliable and robust solution in typical applications of thinning, particularly in preprocessing for optical ...
