A fuzzy feature fusion method for auto-segmentation of gliomas with multi-modality diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance images in radiotherapy
(2018-02-19)
The difusion and perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) images can provide functional information about
tumour and enable more sensitive detection of the tumour extent. We aimed to develop a fuzzy feature
fusion method for ...
Characterization of Damping Properties in 3D Printed Structures
