been made to Roentgen’s discovery and radiography is offered in every hospital around the world. Nowadays, there are many different types of imaging we can do. These include fluoroscopy, CT scan, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound. Fluoroscopy’s significant use is it intensifies the image during orthopedic, vascular, urological procedures. It is also used for dynamic radiographic investigations. “CT is useful for evaluating soft tissue involvement of lesions or determining the extent of fractures. In general
ABSTRACT Tactile sensing is acquiring information via physical contact. Various parameters like pressure, position, temperature, shape, texture etc. can be measured using this. Despite being one of the five most crucial senses by which a being perceives its environment, comparatively not a lot of research has been done in this field with a scope of application in industries, especially robotics. This paper aims at briefly discussing the various techniques used in tactile sensing and then compares

Speech Operating at altitudes of 85 000 feet, cruising at speeds over Mach 3.2, undetectable to enemy radar and unsusceptible to aerial defences. The Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird. Good Evening Mr Hanley and classmates. In the following presentation I will demonstrate why the monumental Lockheed Martin SR-71 Black Bird was possibly the best advancement in aviation history and why the SR-71 is a testament to the evolution of aviation technology. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was the result of
era, digital imaging is widely used in every application around us in form of satellite communications, Internet, High Definition Television (HDTV), fax transmission, and digital storage of movies and many more, because it provide superior resolution and quality. From many years, medical imaging has opened the way for advanced medical imaging and telemedicine by taking advantage of digital technology. In electronic form of medical recording, images such as MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), X-rays,

This article also talks about how there is increasing evidence. That there is an association between range of motion-limiting hip disorders and sports hernia in a number of athletes This has added a new complexity to the pathology and decision making on how treatment should be handled by the physician. Ever since its introduction in 1980 as “Gilmore groin”
magnetic field rather then radiation. Radiology is classified as being either diagnostic or therapeutic. Diagnostic radiology is an evaluation of the body, by means of static or dynamic images or anatomy, physiology, and alterations caused by injury or disease. A majority of these pictures are formed by passing a low or high level of x rays through the part of the body being examined, producing the static image on film. This image is called a radiograph or x ray picture. The image it's self may have
textures related to skid resistance, i.e. micro texture and macro texture. The classification is generally based on specific texture wavelength range and typical peak–peak amplitude. In particular, micro texture refers to surface texture with wavelength range less than 0.5 mm and typical peak–peak amplitude less than 0.2 mm, while the corresponding ranges for macro texture are 0.5–50 mm and 0.2–10 mm. Micro texture indicates the degree of the polishing of a pavement surface. In comparison, macro texture
I needed this degree to deepen my knowledge. I wish to extend my expertise, broaden my scope, gain more skills, and get exposed to state-of-the-art graphics technologies. I am especially interested in realistic computer generated images, high dynamic range imaging, and global illumination. My third year project was a 3d board game where objects, the board and the pieces were modeled and textured in Autodesk Maya, exported to opengl where the rest of the work was done. Other than the AI, real time
Radiologist Radiology is a branch of medical science. It uses x-rays as well as other types of technology to create images of the internal workings of the body. Radiologists use these images, which use a wide variety of imaging technologies, to diagnose and treat diseases. A radiologist’s job is to use radiant energy to create images from which to diagnose patients. As soon as this is done, the radiologist then communicates their findings to the patient’s physician; so a treatment plan can be made
A. Computed Tomography (CT) Computed Tomography (CT) is a biomedical imaging technique which produces cross-section images also called "slices" of anatomy of the human body. Radiographic beams are made incident on the human body. The reflected radio beams create a detailed computerized picture taken with a specialized X-ray machine. CT is more precise than a standard X-ray, and provides a clearer image. Fig.1 shows a CT scan of transverse view of the brain. The cross-sectional images are used for

1. INTRODUCTION. Filmless imaging is no longer an illusion and very soon, everyone will have made the switch to filmless and paperless diagnostic imaging. The information technology (IT) has become a critical contributor in the plans of healthcare institutions to reduce expenses, improve effectiveness, and provide better patient care. The arrival of digital imaging has led to a revolution within the healthcare system: the development of picture archival and communication system (PACS). The use of

The acquisition of hand veins is generally done using infrared (IR) imaging. The IR imaging for veins is of two types namely near infrared (NIR) in the range of 0.75μm to 2μm and far infrared

The MQ-1B Predator for example is a very expensive, but useful aircraft. All remote operated, this plane can speed up too high speeds, has automated tactic missiles, and filled with dozens of automated cameras for enemy surveillance. A predator can speed over a small city, and can take a visual GPS automated 3D map of the surface and relay the data in an instant, to its stationed

and experts from the field of psychology, statistics, physics and physiology all contribute to its further development (Poldrack et al., 2007). In the last 20 years the imaging techniques developed from single proton emission tomography (SPET) to positron emission tomography (PET) and finally to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (Page, 2006). Their applications are numerous in experimental and cognitive psychology. However, at one level they can constitute another dependent variable (brain
Photography in Flux It is no secret that digital photography is very rapidly finding a niche in modem society, in both the professional realm as well as in the home. The advent of newer, faster, and more embellished technologies have placed the power of photographic production in the hands of the common person. An art form that formerly was left to the charge of few skilled professionals has been forever changed by these technologies. Certainly, this evolution of sorts has its strengths as well
