ROI selection in image registration

ActiveUS20060002631A1User interaction can be minimized and eliminatedImage enhancementImage analysisComputer scienceImage registration
A method and system is presented for automatically selecting a region of interest (ROI) within an image of an object, for example when performing non-rigid image registration between the image and another image of the object. In this way, the need for user interaction can be minimized or eliminated during image registration. The ROI is determined by defining an entropy measure H of the image, and selecting the region within the image in which the entropy measure is maximized, In this way, the ROI is optimized to contain as much information as possible. In one embodiment, the entropy measure H is a modified Shannon entropy, defined by H=−ΣI P(I) log P(I), where I is the value of the image intensity level, and P(I) is the probability of an image intensity value I occurring within the ROI.

Peptide linkers for effective multivalent peptide binding

Short single chain peptides having affinity for a target surface often lack the binding durability required for certain commercial applications. One way to improve durability is to promote multivalent binding by linking together binding sequences using peptide linkers. However, the resulting single chain binding peptides often suffer from linker entropy. It has been discovered that the use of rigid peptide linkers when linking together multiple binding sequences enhances the binding affinity of the resulting single chain peptide.

Method for Monitoring the Depth of Anesthesia

A method for monitoring the depth of anesthesia is provided for detecting the conscious state of one being anesthetized in order to facilitate an anesthesiologist to predict exactly the dosage of an anesthetic required. At first, an original electroencephalogram (EEG) is taken from one being tested. Then, the original electroencephalogram is analyzed by approximate entropy to obtain its approximate entropy value. Next, the approximate entropy value is multiplied by 1000 / 17, and the corrected value is assumed as the predicted value of depth of anesthesia. The predicted value of depth of anesthesia represents degree of the conscious state or the depth of anesthesia for the one being tested. The higher the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the more conscious the one being tested is, i.e., in a shallower depth of anesthesia. On the other hand, the lower the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the less conscious the one being tested is, i.e., in a deeper depth of anesthesia.
