Rational design of stable heptamethine cyanines and development of a boimarker-activatable probe for detecting acute lung/kidney injury via NIR-II fluorescence imaging

Developing high-quality dyes to construct activatable probes for analyte sensing via NIR-II fluorescence is critical to attain enhanced imaging depths and resolution. Heptamethine-cyanines can serve this purpose; however, they usually...

Computational Imaging-Processing Comparison for Lumbar Spine Cadaveric Specimens with Clinical Medical Physics Applications

A series of improved imaging-computational and algorithmic methods for new/different lumbar cadaveric specimens was obtained. These are based on previous publications [3,3.1], with an improved-imaging research line. Results show a systematic study of each lumbar cadaveric specimen. Enhanced imaging findings and resolution for vertebral facets/positioning, contrast, anatomical parts separation and visualization of lumbar spines are demonstrated. Medical Physics and clinical bioengineering advances related to previous contributions are proven with imaging processing, programming codes/patterns, and computer vision tools. Findings constitute computational imaging methods which are appropriate for sharp and detailed anatomical-clinical analysis and comparisons among cadaveric specimens. These processing solutions are useful for lumbar spine computational study and anatomical dissection. Applications on Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, and Computational-Forensic Diagnosis are obtained from this cadaveric imaging systematic comparison and software methods.
