Bone mineral density (BMD) quantified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) associated with clinical parameters is considered the standard reference by the International Society of Densitometry for prediction of fracture risk. However, studies published in the literature have demonstrated that BMD alone often fails to predict fractures, suggesting that the association of other bone qu…
World Health Organization (WHO) considers Brazil as highly endemic for leprosy (prevalence of 29,761 cases in 2010, WHO 2011) and early diagnosis is extremely important in the evolution of the disease. Additionally, it is known that the multidrug therapy cures the Mycobacterium leprae's infection but does not prevent the disease in its immunopathologic aspects. The reactions are frequent …
The purpose of the study is the development of techniques for Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) for the identification and classification of vertebral compression fractures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The proposal is to evaluate retrospectively the MR images of the lumbosacral spine performed in routine clinical practice at University Hospital in our institution. MRI images acquired…
The aim of this project is to apply specific medical image-processing techniques previously developed by the research team at the University of Calgary, to the computer-aided diagnosis system (CAD) of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This will provide a different analysis to complement the already implemented techniques in my post-graduation proj…
