The authors' previous LV model was extended to simulate the changes in regional behavior of the heart imposed by modifications in local coronary flow. This was accomplished by quantifying the relation between regional heart metabolism and function. The resulting model is capable of predicting the acute changes in heart function during the development of myocardial ischemia following coronary stenosis.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344622,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117069903","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 results shows that the mathematical morphology features provide the best classification rate on the authors' clinical MR images of healthy and sick muscles.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344622,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116880463","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}

Our model tries to simulate the visual processing characteristics by incorporating mechanisms tuned to luminance, orientation, spatial-frequency and color, which are characteristic features of any textural image. We obtained a very good correlation between human performance and our model simulations with various strategic texture patterns. The highlights of our model are incorporation of chromatic mechanisms to treat color images, in addition to grey-level ones, and the extension of the concept of double-opponency beyond color. The model could be utilized in the area of image processing, machine vision and pattern recognition, and scientific visualization.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":344622,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 16th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society","volume":"50 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120815395","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}
