Dental or oral cysts are fairly a common occurrence in the mouth. There are several common types of dental cysts like periapical cyst, keratocyst, primordial and dentigerous cysts. The most common treatment for cysts is removal of the cyst region. Differentiating odontogenic keratocysts and ameloblastomas from other cystic lesions in the maxillomandibular region is important because of their high recurrence rates. Conventional radiography, CT, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy are ...

Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving the tooth affected greatly by carious decay. The most common forms of dental cysts include Ameloblastoma, Keratocyst and Dentigerous cyst. The treatment is planned based on the type of cyst. Differentiating Odontogenic Keratocysts and Ameloblastomas from other cystic lesions in the maxillomandibular region is crucial because of their high recurrence rates and to avoid disease progression. Furthermore, Conventional ...

In this work, an attempt is made to analyze anatomical regions of Alzheimer's brain MR images using level set and Minkowski functionals (MFs). The T1 weighted sagittal view of normal and abnormal images considered in this work, are obtained from MIRIAD database. The ventricle along with the hippocampus is segmented using Reaction Diffusion (RD) level set method and is subjected to further analysis using MFs. The prominent feature derived from the segmented region which contains ventricle ...

In this work, Minkowski functionals (MFs) based brain to ventricle index is proposed to quantify the structural changes in Alzheimer’s MR brain images for severity detection. Initially, the original images (N=120) from MIRIAD and ADNI database, are skull stripped using morphology based method. The ventricles are segmented using localized region-based active contour method. These algorithms are validated using performance measures. The whole brain and the segmented ventricles are ...

The milk pasteurization is a multivariable interacting process where it is required to maintain the temperature profile of the milk precisely at each stage to inactivate the bacteria as well as to retain the nutritional content of the milk. The existing methodology involves the use of a precooling stage which adds up considerable cost to the milk pasteurization plant. The objective function of the proposed work aims at reduction of the cost involved which is achieved by eliminating the ...

In this work, an attempt has been made to analyze atrophy of MR brain images using Minkowski Functionals (MFs) of the entropy based skull stripped whole brain image. The normal and Alzheimer images considered in this work are obtained from MIRIAD database. The proposed algorithm uses Shannon entropy and Tsallis entropy methods to calculate the global and local threshold values for the edge detection. The obtained edges map are further processed using morphological operation. The mask ...
