The aim of this study was to identify the origin of swallowing sound components by using
modern techniques that can provide numeric, synchronized acoustic–radiologic data. We …

Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA) has been gaining importance in the last
few years, offering numerous advantages over alternative methods of nerve localization (…

Our purpose is to extend the Local Binary Pattern method to three dimensions and compare
it with the two-dimensional model for three-dimensional texture analysis. To compare these …

This paper describes the methods of construction and the main characteristics of a solid
texture database freely available for texture classification experiment. Here the purpose is to …

Ultrasound in regional anesthesia (RA) has increased in popularity over the last years. The
nerve localization presents a key step for RA practice, it is therefore valuable to develop a …

In this paper, we shall address the issue of semantic extraction of different regions of interest.
The proposed approach is based on statistical methods and models inspired from linguistic …

In this paper we present a method for automatic detection of man-made objects in digital
images representing natural environments. This method is based on statistical distribution of …

The application of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA) is growing rapidly in
medical field and becoming a standard procedure in many worldwide hospitals. UGRA practice …

Deformable models, such as the discrete active contour and surface, imply the use of iterative
evolution methods to perform 2D and 3D image segmentation. Among the several existing …

We present in this paper a medical signal analysis method that we have developed in order
to study, in an atraumatic and non-invasive way, the inferior oesophageal sphincter …
