Range characterization of Radon transforms on quaternionic projective spaces.
In this paper the authors raise the issue of automatic discrimination of atherosclerotic plaques within an artery lumen based on numerical and statistical thresholding of Computerized Tomography Angiographic (CTA) images and their advanced dimensioning as a support for preoperative vessel assessment. For the study, a set of tomograms of the aorta, as well as the ilio-femoral and femoral arteries were examined. In each case a sequence of about 130-480 images of the artery cutoff planes were analyzed...
In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional inverse medium problem from noisy observation data. We propose effective reconstruction algorithms to detect the number, the location and the size of the piecewise constant medium within a body, and then we try to recover the unknown shape of inhomogeneous media. This problem is nonlinear and ill-posed, thus we should consider stable and elegant approaches in order to improve the corresponding approximation. We give several examples to show the viability...
Detailed descriptions of cardiac geometry and architecture are necessary for examining and understanding structural changes to the myocardium that are the result of pathologies, for interpreting the results of experimental studies of propagation, and for use as a three-dimensional orthotropically anisotropic model for the computational reconstruction of propagation during arrhythmias. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a means to reconstruct fibre and sheet orientation throughout the ventricles....
Reconstruction of underlying physiological structures from a sequence of images is a long-standing problem which has been solved by factor analysis with a success. This paper tries to return to roots of the problem, to exploit the available findings and to propose an improved paradigm.
