Automated Histological Analysis System for Quantifying Microstructural Damage Accumulation to the Annulus Fibrosus
Ben Daya, Ibrahim; Noguchi, Mamiko; Callaghan, Jack P.; Wong, Alexander (Kitchener-Waterloo Vision and Imaging Society, 2016)In this paper, we proposed an automated histological analysis system for quantifying microstructural damage accumulation to the annulus fibrosus. This system takes in a digital histology image and uses Gaussian mixture ... -
Examining changes in intradiscal pressure during intervertebral disc herniation
Noguchi, Mamiko (University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Background: Approximately 40% of low back pain cases are attributed to internal disc disruption. Since mechanical loading directly affects intradiscal pressure and the stresses that the inner annulus fibrosus experiences, ... -
The impact of compressive force magnitude on the in vitro neutral zone range and passive stiffness during a flexion–extension range of motion test
Noguchi, Mamiko; Gooyers, Chad Edward; Holmes, Michael W.R.; Callaghan, Jack P. (Taylor & Francis, 2015-02-23)The objective of this work was to examine the influence of compressive force magnitude on a functional spinal unit’s (FSU) flexion–extension neutral zone measured during pure moment (PM) tests. Each porcine cervical FSU ...
