| Description | In this article, an improved method to segment the renal cortex and medulla and to eliminate the influence of kidney motion produced by respiration is proposed. On the basis of an adaptive threshold estimated from the mean gray levels of the grown regions, a region-growing algorithm is presented to produce a three-dimensional (3-D) kidney contour and to segment the renal structures. Moreover, a shell mask of kidney margin is proposed to realize a coarse matching so as to eliminate the image translation, which makes the processing simple and direct in spatial processing without any image transform computations, and a correlation computation can be implemented with great efficiency. Then, a refined matching with a mask of cortex is completed through a 3-D correlation algorithm to ensure the accurate registration of the images in different phases. Comparing with the global mask including the whole kidney, both the shell mask and the cortex mask significantly contribute to decreasing the matching errors for images with nonuniform intensity signals, which much improves the registration quality of renal MR images. In this way, the effect of the respiration motions can be eliminated so that the intensity measurement in different phases becomes accurate within the respective structures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
