Abstract

Statistically identified information on the relationships between the sites of lesions in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), risk factors such as a smoking or drinking habit, anamnesis, and biochemical data through blood tests will extend assistance to neuromedical clinicians on their daily clinical duties. It will provide them with a useful guide to determine the method of treatment. Also, it will be a basic research material for their clinical studies on diagnosis, progress, or prognosis in ICH. In order to obtain such statistics with the help of the computer, we need to have a computationally effective image database system. As is generally known, medical image data especially requires a great amount of storage; high-speed processing techniques are therefore also needed to deal with such data effectively. In addition, it is desired that we have outputs from the analysis edited with well-visualized effect, using 3D computer graphics, etc. These are why most existing image processing systems have been designed to work on comparatively large-scale computers. So far as we know, it is hard to find a practical and inexpensive personal computer-based application system for visualized statistical analysis of lesional images in ICH. We ...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
