When dealing with soft-tissue sarcomas of the extremities and aiming to perform limb-sparing surgery, it is mandatory to define the extent of the tumor and the connections with the surrounding tissues and anatomic structures. We started with MR images of 256×256 pixels (each pixel represented by 12 bits), at the same slice location in a given...

To achieve a good result in the surgical treatment of unilateral breast hypoplasia, it is of the utmost importance to obtain a reasonable symmetry with the contralateral, uninvolved breast. In this paper we described a C++ computer program able to provide (supplied the semicircumference and the projection of the breasts) objective, quantitative...

When performing hair transplantation procedures, it is of the foremost importance to try to obtain the maximum survival rate possible of transplanted micrografts. The aim of our studies were: to evaluate the effects of preserving micrografts, for five hours, in an enriched storage medium in order to enhance the survival rate of hair...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a computer program developed to provide objective, quantitative data useful to ensure proper implant selection when having to use a tissue expander for soft-tissue reconstructions. The only data to be supplied are the length and the width of the defect to be reconstructed, or the projection and the...

To achieve a good result with tissue expansion for unilateral breast reconstruction, it is of the outmost importance to select an expander, the size of which will allow to obtain a semicircumference and the projection of the contralateral breast) objective, quantitative data useful to aid in proper expander selection when performing tissue...
