Framework of the proposed method 3.1 Image Selection and Preprocessing Selection of images is vital for the improvement of accuracy in identification of stroke. Four CT images of the brain affected by the stroke lesions are taken from the internet. Each image has a different shape, size and location of stroke lesion. Image preprocessing is one of the preliminary steps that are highly required to ensure the high accuracy of the consecutive steps. The CT brain images normally consist of some…
Total knee replacement is also known as total knee arthroplasty (Scott, 2015). The reasons for having this arthroplasty (reconstruction of a joint) done include severe knee pain, and stiffness that limits the patient’s ability to walk (Phillips, 2013; Scott, 2015). This procedure relieves pain and helps the patient regain function of the knee by replacing three knee joints, the medial and lateral femorotibial joints, and the patellofemoral joint (Scott, 2015). When the patient is supine, the…
External Parts: Case - This houses all of the hardware of the computer ranging from the motherboard to the hard drive. Universal Serial Bus Flash Drive (USB Flash Drive) - A portable data storage device using flash memory. It connects to a computer via a USB Type-A port. Secure Digital Card (SD Card) - A portable flash memory storage device that stores data persistently; this is typically used for cameras, tablets, and other smaller electronics, but it will most likely connect to a computer…
Introduction The CT-Scan is a medical imaging procedure that uses data from digital technology (computer) to combine several combinations of X-ray images. These images are taken from different angles to give a detailed cross sectional picture and use digital geometry processing to generate a 3-dimensional (3D) image of specific areas of structures inside a human’s body. CT- Scan is used to assist a diagnosis and early detection of disease. It is a non-invasive and painless procedure. It uses…
Although this can be reduced selecting volunteers as healthy as possible, it is still a large amount of very expensive equipment. For example an MRI scanner usually costs around one million pounds. This equipment, as mentioned earlier, must be very advanced and a lot of research will be required to develop it. It will also cost millions of pounds to transport this equipment to the colony in Mars and to…
needs, and revise the plan annually to meet the expectations of the plan and KSDE Teacher Leader Standards. The technology budget must be created and approved. The district has ongoing resource needs which include whiteboards, clickers, audio books, scanners, ebooks, and the “cloud”. Students will be engaged using these resources and their knowledge of these resources help students develop skills for the 21st century. Technology will allow for differentiated learning such as video for visual…
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test used by doctors to check for the disease in the patient's body. This PET scan also can use to measure blood flow, oxygen use and can detect cancer, heart problems, brain disorders and another. PET scans use radioactive materials called tracers to find diseases in the body and it will shows how organs and tissues are working. Stacy Simon reported annual statistics reporting from the American Cancer Society shows the death rate from…
Biological psychology aims to understand how our bodies are connected to our many behaviors and experiences. Today, biological psychology stands as the oldest perspective of the six modern perspectives. Through biological psychology we can divide the brain in sections the hindbrain, midbrain, and the forebrain. These sections all allow for us to mediate biological functions, helps us process visual and auditory information, and control our mental processes. The majority of the brain consists of…
tiny bed like slab, and pushed into tube that seems very small. You experience loud noises, and you have to stay perfectly still, or the process will be repeated. As you are inside the MRI you might wonder, what is going on? You should know that MRI scanners come in all different shapes and sizes due to its needs. But all the equipment in side is the same. The biggest and most important thing that makes up the MRI system is the magnet. This is a horizontal tube, which is the same one the patient…
