AUTOMATED VENTRICULAR SYSTEMS SEGMENTATION IN BRAIN CT IMAGES BY COMBINING LOW-LEVEL SEGMENTATION AND HIGH-LEVEL TEMPLATE MATCHING

Automated ventricular systems segmentation in brain CT images by combining low-level segmentation and high-level template matching

Abstract Background Accurate analysis of CT brain scans is vital for diagnosis and treatment of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).Automatic processing of these CT brain scans could speed up the decision making process, lower the cost of healthcare, and reduce the chance of human error.In this paper, we focus on automatic processing of CT brain images

Bacterial variations on the methionine salvage pathway

Abstract Background The thiomethyl group of S-adenosylmethionine is often recycled as methionine from methylthioadenosine.The corresponding pathway has been unravelled in Bacillus subtilis.However methylthioadenosine is subjected to alternative degradative pathways depending on the organism.Results This work uses genome in silico analysis to propos
