16–20 This effect results from a concentration of local stresses around the femoral defect and reduced energy-absorbing capacity from the decreased amount of bone available to withstand the applied load.17 Because bone with stress concentration behaves in a more brittle fashion, the increased lo...
Fully automatic and fast segmentation of the femur bone from 3D-CT images with no shape prior 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro, Chicago, IL, 2011, pp. 2087-2090. doi [2] Bryce A. Besler, Andrew S. Michalski, Michael T. Kuczynski, Aleena Abid,...
The FDA's decision to add a warning about the fractures to the labels of bisphosphonates comes in the wake of a recommendation to do so by a task force of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. In a report released last month, the task force said that of 310 cases of atyp...
The filter is based on a scale-space model of cortical bone with properties including edge localization, invariance to density calibration, rotation invariance, and stability to noise. The filter is integrated with a graph cut segmentation technique guided through user provided sparse labels for rapid...
our network can directly map a whole volumetric data to its volume-wise labels. Inspired by previous work, multi-level deep supervision is designed to alleviate the potential gradient vanishing problem during training. It is also used together with partial transfer learning to boost the training eff...
FDA Warns On Risk Of Thigh Bone Fractures With Bisphosphonates Drugs FDA: Possible increased risk of thigh bone fracture with bisphosphonates Labeling change adds warning about possible risks of long-term use of osteoporosis drugs The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today warned patients and health...
SUBSTANCE: method involves drilling-in two wires into the head and neck of the femur using external labels. The soft tissues are pierced with a hollow needle in the sector between the introduced wires. Fixing members are introduced into the bone through the hollow needle using removable adapter....
