Automated Determination of Morphometric Parameters of the Human Radius Based on the Results of Its Computed Tomography.

A fundamentally new software method for automated measurement of morphometric parameters of computed tomographic image of the human radius has been designed. The parameters obtained by manual morphometry of computed tomograms using the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer software were compared with the results of the software product developed by us. The relative error in the measurement of morphometric parameters was about 10%.

Factors raising intracellular calcium increase red blood cell heterogeneity in density and critical osmolality.

Background: In normal human blood, RBC volume (V), surface area (A) and hemoglobin content (H) exhibit Gaussian distributions with coefficients of variation (CV) of 10-15%. Strikingly narrower distributions are observed for their cell density (CV approximately 0.5%) and filterability (CV approximately 5-7%).
