Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The fusiform face area (FFA, meaning spindle-shaped face area) is a part of the human visual system (while also activated in people blind from birth [1]) that is specialized for facial recognition. [2] It is located in the inferior temporal cortex (IT), in the fusiform gyrus (Brodmann area 37).
Automatic ticket gate with face recognition system in Osaka Metro Morinomiya Station. A facial recognition system[1] is a technology potentially capable of matching a human face from a digital image or a video frame against a database of faces. Such a system is typically employed to authenticate users through ID verification services, and works ...
The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [ 1 ] A male and a female cadaver were cut into ...
The arteries of the face and scalp. (External maxillary visible at bottom center.) Outline of side of face, showing chief surface markings. (Label for "Ext. Max. Art." at bottom left.) The facial artery (external maxillary artery in older texts) is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies structures of the superficial face.
Category. v. t. e. Forensic facial reconstruction (or forensic facial approximation) is the process of recreating the face of an individual (whose identity is often not known) from their skeletal remains through an amalgamation of artistry, anthropology, osteology, and anatomy. It is easily the most subjective—as well as one of the most ...
Computed tomography of the head uses a series of X-rays in a CT scan of the head taken from many different directions; the resulting data is transformed into a series of cross sections of the brain using a computer program. [1] CT images of the head are used to investigate and diagnose brain injuries and other neurological conditions, as well ...
The facial skeleton comprises the facial bones that may attach to build a portion of the skull. [ 1 ] The remainder of the skull is the neurocranium. In human anatomy and development, the facial skeleton is sometimes called the membranous viscerocranium, which comprises the mandible and dermatocranial elements that are not part of the braincase.
A CT pulmonary angiogram, in this case showing pulmonary embolism of saddle-type, which becomes more radiolucent than the radiocontrast filled blood surrounding it (but it may be indistinguishable without radiocontrast). Contrast CT, or contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), is X-ray computed tomography (CT) using radiocontrast.
