Abstract
Radiographic inspection is the most appreciated technique among the other non-destructive testing methods due to producing unique finger print record as the film. Converting of radiographs to a digital format and further digital image processing is the best method of enhancing the image quality and assisting the interpreter on his evaluation. In this research, different algorithms were used for image enhancement and radiograph interpretation in MATLAB environment. A graphical user interface (GUI) was created for implementation of different algorithms. Both spatial and frequency (wavelet) domains techniques were used for image enhancement. Results showed that the defect recognition...

Abstract
Previous studies have measured thoracic Range of Motion (RoM) using either skin-mounted devices or supine CT-imaging and have reported on quite different RoMs. Given the inherent shortcomings of measurements of vertebrae movements from the overlying skin, the present study aims to measure normal RoM of the thoracic spine in the sagittal plane using the upright digital radiography. Lateral radiographs of the thoracic spine were obtained from eight asymptomatic male subjects in upright standing and full forward flexion using a mobile U-arm digital radiographic system. Total (T1-T12), upper (T1-T6), and lower (T6-T12) thoracic RoMs were measured. A throughout comparison of available skin-based...

Abstract
Traditional load-control musculoskeletal and finite element (FE) models of the spine fail to accurately predict in vivo intervertebral joint loads due mainly to the simplifications and assumptions when estimating redundant trunk muscle forces. An alternative powerful protocol that bypasses the calculation of muscle forces is to drive the detailed FE models by image-based in vivo displacements. Development of subject-specific models, however, both involves the risk of extensive radiation exposures while imaging in supine and upright postures and is time consuming in terms of the reconstruction of the vertebrae, discs, ligaments, and facets geometries. This study therefore aimed to introduce a...
