For the most e ective use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), mapping the brain signals to a statistically valid map is crucial. The common approach to create a statistic at each voxel is applying the frequentist ...

In this present study, the specific goal was to evaluate the mechanical effects of manual therapy quantitatively. Physiotherapists primarily aim for increasing the range of motion of restricted joints during treatment, ...

Image quality, for scientific and medical purposes is defined as how well the desired information can be extracted from the image thus the principal research goal in medical imaging is the development of data acquisition ...

Using images for diagnosis, therapy and surgery is a widely used option as evidenced by many articles in the literature. In conventional systems standard two-dimensional (2D) displays are used to view the images even though ...

As the technology improves rapidly, diagnosis and treatment devices that directly a ect human health increase in number and variety. Unfortunately, these devices carry their own risks. Any hazardous/defective device can ...

Thespecific goal of the present study was to take an initial step in explaining the effects of Botulinum toxin treatment used for muscle pathologies such as spasticity on muscle mechanics via myofascial force transmission, ...

Earlier detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) would permit earlier intervention, which conceivably could delay progression of this dementing disorder. In order to accomplish this goal, reliable and speci c ...

Like so many other discoveries, clinically reliable dental implants were preceded by a serendipitous observation, rather than a logical chain of experiments, leading to the final product. In an attempt to film the ...

Non-union, or delayed union of a bone fracture poses a major burden both to the individual and society. This experimental study investigated the hypothesis that low dose irradiation can enhance fracture healing and ...

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI), sometimes called a Brain Machine Interface (BMI) is a communication device between the brain and an external device, usually a computer. The main purpose of BCI systems is repairing or ...
