Background Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is currently becoming a serious mental health issue around the globe. Previous studies regarding IAD were mainly focused on associated psychological examinations. However, there are few brain structure and function about IAD. In this study, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate white matter integrity in adolescents with Methodology/Principal Findings Seventeen subjects sixteen healthy controls without participated study. Whole...

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a novel MRI technique for the measurement of tissue magnetic in three dimensions. Although numerous algorithms have been developed to solve this ill-posed inverse problem, estimation maps with wide range values still problematic. In cases such as large veins, contrast agent uptake and intracranial hemorrhages, extreme focal areas cause severe streaking artifacts. To enable reduction these artifacts, whilst preserving subtle contrast, two-level QSM...

In this paper, we present a novel approach for real-time simulation of deformable soft tissue. When using Mass-Spring or Finite Element Method to simulate the global deformation tissue dynamically, we'll meet difficulty that size 3D problem (the number elements in FEM mesh) is much larger than 2D issue. So put forward hybrid model solve problems. This consists centerline and surface reconstruction mechanism based on simplified medial-representation algorithm nonlinear mass-spring model, also...
