There are two components to the Multi-Instance Broker which are the Self-Adaptive Multi-Instance Broker Manager and the Broker Instance entity. The Manager is adaptive through its self-determination of the number of instances with the assistance of the Grid Information Service. The Broker Instance entity generates the broker instances determined by the Manager and implements scheduler properties. The Multi-Instance Broker generates multiple replicated broker instances as service extenders which handles concurrent parallel jobs simultaneously. Both the framework and strategy for implementation has been determined in this study and at the same time, the properties and characteristics of the multi-broker instance are identified and presented here.","PeriodicalId":131954,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer Assisted System in Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128909467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Main motivation that derives this research is the needs of volumetric image segmentation for surgical planning, post-surgical assessment, abnormality detection, and many other medical application. The challenge stands tall especially in regions with abnormal color and shape which needs to be identified by researchers for future studies. Volumetric images contain complicated structures that require precise and most accurate segmentation for diagnosis. Using Level set technique for segmentation, this research promising an accurate and better result that can be used for 3D tricuspid valve reconstruction. The solution of this research will be an alternative segmentation method to assist in surgical planning and indirectly eliminating the subjectively of manual segmentation.","PeriodicalId":131954,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer Assisted System in Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121192275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The x-ray image widely use in dental age assessment especially Demirjian method. The purpose of the dental age assessment is to estimate the age of unidentified bodies. The current process is done manually by the examiner. The process potentially converted to an automated system. The development an automated dental age assessment required segmentation process, which is dividing the image into multiple meaningful parts based on region and edge. The edge segmentation form a contour based on the links detected. The authors present two types of edge segmentation methods (i.e. Sobel and Canny). The objective of the study is to make a comparison between the two methods. Result showed Sobel method was able to segment all the teeth area and remove the noise on the x-ray image while Canny algorithm was not able to segment all the teeth area especially incisors. The region of segmentation is important because one of the requirements in Demirjian method is to assess all the teeth types in quadrant 2 and quadrant 3. Based on the result, the experiment showed the Sobel algorithm able to segment most of the teeth area in quadrant 2 and quadrant 3.","PeriodicalId":131954,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer Assisted System in Health","volume":"2 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120841051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the low quality of ultrasound images often limits their utility as a means for guiding procedures, since it is often difficult to relate the images to their anatomical context. To improve the interpretability of the ultrasound images while maintaining ultrasound as a flexible anatomical and functional real time imaging modality, there is need for some registration techniques that integrate them with their correspond context in high quality pre-operative models such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography images. It is a challenging and remarkable step as through registration, the combined information from multi-modal image acquisition systems such as ultrasound and computed tomography can be obtained by the medical practitioner for better physiological understanding, effective image guidance surgery, treatment, monitoring and diagnostic purposes. An overview of ultrasound and computed tomography registration techniques is presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":131954,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer Assisted System in Health","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122017148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in virtual community. Instead of merely reading in the web, the users are able to contribute and share their ideas, responds and exchange materials in a real time communication. These requirements enable Web 2.0 to be used in telemedicine to support medical consultations, patient monitoring and counseling, radiology, continuous medical education and other healthcare services. To attest on this subject, we have proposed four Web 2.0 applications for the medical practitioners to be used as their telemedicine tool. This paper will then develop into a research on how Web 2.0 applications can become the alternative tool solution in telemedicine. Hence, it can reduce the cost of acquiring telemedicine software in hospital and bring awareness to the medical practitioners to use Web 2.0 application to carry out telemedicine in daily job.","PeriodicalId":131954,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer Assisted System in Health","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132758533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
