KOYMEN, H
A method for noninvasive in situ estimation of intensity in ultrasound hyperthermia is presented. The method employs the nonlinear theory of sound propagation in a focused ultrasound hyperthermia system in order to determine the focal field intensity, where the sound intensity levels are relatively high in the focal volume.

A Parametric Estimation Approach to Instantaneous Spectral Imaging
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M (2014-12-01)
Spectral imaging, the simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy of a radiating scene, is a fundamental diagnostic technique in the physical sciences with widespread application. Due to the intrinsic limitation of two-dimensional (2D) detectors in capturing inherently three-dimensional (3D) data, spectral imaging techniques conventionally rely on a spatial or spectral scanning process, which renders them unsuitable for dynamic scenes. In this paper, we present a nonscanning (instantaneous) spectral imaging techn...
A computerized diagnostic system for the interpretation of umbilical artery blood flow velocity waveforms
Beksac, MS; Basaran, F; Eskiizmirliler, S; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Yorukan, S (Elsevier BV, 1996-01-01)
Objective: Development of ail artificial intelligent diagnostic system for the interpretation of umbilical artery blood flow velocity waveform measurements. Study design: Study design comprised several stages including data acquisition, image processing and analysis, training of artificial neural network and testing the predictive value of the system. The clinical material was handled in two groups. The training group consisted of 952 umbilical artery blood flow velocity waveform images of 174 normal pregna...
An Information theoretic representation of brain connectivity for cognitive state classification using functional magnetic resonance imaging
Önal, Itır; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...
