Gregoire et al. note that target volume selection and delineation undoubtedly represent the most dramatic change in clinical approach, as compared with the former 2D approach [ 16].
I'm no lover of fences, of the limitations, boundaries and delineations they represent.
Hotspot delineation on protein surfaces represents a fundamental step for targeting protein protein interfaces.
When discussing the segmentation of the clinical data, one has always to recall that unlike the real volume of the phantoms the manual delineation does not represent the ground truth, i.e., it can only be a comparative analysis.
The cyan contour represents the manual delineation, the yellow contour is generated by our proposed method, and the red region is generated by flood fill algorithm.
In order to focus the registration process on the considered organs, delineation maps were also generated, representing the main delineations (skin, left, and right parotid glands, spinal cord, and brain stem) with homogeneous intensities.
Gene sequence analysis represents an important tool for the delineation of Leptospira species.
The delineation of endometriosis from other benign pelvic conditions represents an important strength of this study considering the high rate of clustering of estrogen dependent pathologies.
As the subclinical involvement of cervical lymph nodes cannot be reliably detected by image studies including CT, MRI, and/or PET/CT, proper selection and delineation of clinical target volume for elective irradiation represents a major challenge.
Delineation of the relationship between TGFB1 and PVT1 therefore represents a critical component toward understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of ECM in diabetic nephropathy.
