Vertebral body segmentation with GrowCut: Initial experience, workflow and practical application [PDF]
SAGE Open Medicine, Volume 5, pp. 1-10, Nov. 2017, 2017 In this contribution, we used the GrowCut segmentation algorithm publicly available in three-dimensional Slicer for three-dimensional segmentation of vertebral bodies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the GrowCut method has been studied for the usage of vertebral body segmentation.

The primitive metazoan Hydra expresses antistasin, a serine protease inhibitor of vertebrate blood coagulation [PDF]
, 1992 We have isolated and characterized cDNAs from Hydra which encode antistasin, a potent inhibitor of factor Xa in the vertebrate blood clotting cascade. Hydra antistasin is expressed in gland cells and represents a major class of transcripts from Hydra's ...

Cellular Automata Segmentation of the Boundary between the Compacta of Vertebral Bodies and Surrounding Structures [PDF]
SPIE Medical Imaging Conference 2016, Paper 9787-52, 2016 Due to the aging population, spinal diseases get more and more common nowadays; e.g., lifetime risk of osteoporotic fracture is 40% for white women and 13% for white men in the United States. Thus the numbers of surgical spinal procedures are also increasing with the aging population and precise diagnosis plays a vital role in reducing complication and

Development and evolution of the neural crest: An overview [PDF]
, 2012 The neural crest is a multipotent and migratory cell type that forms transiently in the developing vertebrate embryo. These cells emerge from the central nervous system, migrate extensively and give rise to diverse cell lineages including melanocytes ...
