Purpose Segmentation of facial soft tissues is required for surgical planning and evaluation, but this is laborious using manual methods and has been difficult to achieve with digital segmentation methods. A new automatic 3D segmentation method for facial soft tissues in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images was designed, implemented, and tested.

Automatic Bayesian segmentation of human facial tissue using 3D MR-CT fusion by incorporating models of measurement blurring, noise and partial volume
Şener, Emre; Kanoğlu, Utku; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012)
Segmentation of human head on medical images is an important process in a wide array of applications such as diagnosis, facial surgery planning, prosthesis design, and forensic identification. In this study, a new Bayesian method for segmentation of facial tissues is presented. Segmentation classes include muscle, bone, fat, air and skin. The method incorporates a model to account for image blurring during data acquisition, a prior helping to reduce noise as well as a partial volume model. Regularization ba...

Objectives: To analyse teeth samples by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system that was developed in the laboratory to measure the properties of sliced teeth sections in transmission mode.
Reduced leadset selection and performance evaluation in the inverse problem of electrocardiography for reconstructing the ventricularly paced electrograms
No, F. Gharbalchi; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Onak, O. N.; Weber, G-W (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01)
Objective: Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is used for obtaining high-resolution images of the electrical activity of the heart, and is a powerful method with the potential to detect certain arrhythmias. However, there is no 'best' lead configuration in the literature to measure the torso potentials. This paper evaluates ECGI reconstructions using various reduced leadset configurations, explores whether one can find a common reduced leadset configuration that can accurately reconstruct the e...
