Fractal Dimension Image Processing for Feature Extraction and Morphological Analysis: Gd3+/13X/DOX/FA MRI Nanocomposite

Abstract

One of the most fundamental subjects in nanoscience and nanotechnology is structural analysis. We employed a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the manufactured Gd3+/13X/DOX/FA nanocomposite in this study. The size, dimensions, and morphology of nanocomposite materials were studied to ensure the uniformity and homogeneity of SEM images. This is the first study to look at segmented SEM images for fractal dimension (FD) and other statistical criteria, including average, maximum, minimum, skewness, and range for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanocomposite. The average of FD (FDavg), the standard deviation of FD (FDsd), and the lacunarity of FD (FDlac) fractal data analysis criteria were also employed. The findings show that particle sizes and shapes vary because the minimum-to-maximum range is not zero, and our data provide a reasonable range. This interpretation is further supported by an analysis of the nanocomposite’s SEM image. At first glance, the image seemed to be uniform. However, when the calculations were performed, it was discovered that the generated particles were not particularly uniform. The particles were uniformly dispersed throughout all surfaces, although their sizes, dimensions, and morphologies varied. In conclusion, the study was supported by fractal data analysis, emphasizing the importance of structural analysis for future research, particularly for medical applications like MRI.

Iron quantification in basal ganglia using quantitative susceptibility mapping in a patient with ALS: a case report and literature review

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for diagnosing various medical conditions, such as neurological disorders (Kollewe et al, 2012 ; Bhattarai et al, 2022 ; Ghaderi, 2023 ; Ghaderi et al, 2023b ; Mohammadi et al, 2023 ). Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a sensitive MRI technique for detecting magnetic susceptibility changes in tissues (Acosta-Cabronero et al, 2018 ).…”

A Novel Approach for Object Recognition Using Decision Tree Clustering by Incorporating Multi-Level BPNN Classifiers and Hybrid Texture Features

“…In order to perform quantitative analysis of objects based on their shapes and structures, it essentially derives parameters known as FDs. Working in the crucial field of structural analysis, particularly in nanoscience and nanotechnology, was Ghaderi (Ghaderi, 2023). In this work, fractal data analysis was done using digital images of the nanocomposite obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…”
