A METAL ARTIFACT REDUCTION ALGORITHM IN CT USING MULTIPLE PRIOR IMAGES BY RECURSIVE ACTIVE CONTOUR SEGMENTATION.

A metal artifact reduction algorithm in CT using multiple prior images by recursive active contour segmentation.

We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam Heat Packs due to the high attenuation of metals, which significantly degrades the image quality.To fil

Endemicity and enzooticity aspects of leptospirosis

The review covers the main definitions and criteria for endemicity and enzooticity relating to natural focal zoonotic infections and, in particular, to leptospirosis.Since leptospirosis JOIFULL is widespread, and almost all territories are endemic for this disease, it is proposed to allocate a high, medium and low degree of endemicity on the basis
