The main advantages of this method are that unlike humans, the computer can make exact quantitative measurements, the computer is not subjective (does not depend on the investigator), it provides faster analysis, and the image quality can be improved before analysis to allow more accurate measurements.
Three examiners, all orthopedic surgeons familiar with the measurement method of the Cobb angle, carried out the measurements independently in each setting (manual measurement on radiographs and SurgimapSpine software ancillary measurement on the computer).
Reactor pressure is measured with a BD SENSORS 28/600 pressure sensor in range of 0 140 bar with an accuracy of 0.001 bar, equipped with pressure electrical pulse saving system and sending the measurement instantaneously the computer.
PCR 6 contains the accumulated measurements of the computer vision blocks started by the NodeManager.
We performed the recordings using the single-breath program, and observed measurements on the computer screen during the tests.
The lateral region is sensitive to rotation and cannot be trusted to provide valid BMD measurements, but the computer can automatically create a "total" from the 2 regions and give us a valid overall femoral neck BMD that can allow smaller rotations.
A well-established measurement uses the computer-assisted thresholding method CUMULUS, in which the observer visually selects a pixel threshold to define the dense areas for each particular mammogram [ 7– 9].
However, Sorensen et al. have demonstrated that the differences in volumes derived from diameter measurement and the computer-assisted perimeter method was large enough to have an impact in gauging the response of treatment[ 14 ].
Rapid growth in computers and computer science has contributed to an expansion of software tools for the processing of measurement signals and the computer is gradually taking over more and more instrumental functions.
The use of new technologies offers various opportunities for competence measurement: in particular, the computer as an assessment tool presents an authentic work tool drawn from professional life and promises novel ways of designing assessments.
