Enhancement, followed by segmentation, quantification and modelling of blood vessels in
retinal images plays an essential role in computer-aided retinopathy diagnosis. In this paper …

The fracturing of glaciers and ice shelves in Antarctica influences their dynamics, and may
introduce as-yet poorly understood feedbacks and hysteresis into the ice sheet system …

Liver vessel segmentation from contrast CT images is critical in liver surgical planning and
navigation. Due to the complex vessel systems, manual segmentation of liver vessel is …

Human skin equivalents (HSEs) are tissue engineered constructs that model epidermal and
dermal components of human skin. These models have been used to study skin …

Purpose Vascular remodeling is a significant pathological feature of various pulmonary
diseases, which may be assessed by quantitative computed tomography (CT) imaging. The …

Recent advances in high-resolution microscopy have allowed scientists to better understand
the underlying brain connectivity. However, due to the limitation that biological specimens …

Image enhancement algorithms are commonly used to increase the contrast and visual
quality of low-dose x-ray images. This paper proposes an automated enhancement method …

Fundus examination is a non-invasive procedure of observing changes in retinal
vasculature linked with the identification and progression of certain ocular diseases …

In this perspective, we examine three key aspects of an end-to-end pipeline for realistic
cellular simulations: reconstruction and segmentation of cellular structures; generation of …

Micro-structured films with surface riblets are used to reduce aerodynamic drag. This is
especially relevant on fast and large objects such as on aircraft wings, where they are …
