Dilation mask

Erode applied to a mask peels off a layer from every white island in the mask. Dilate does (almost) the inverse if erode has not managed to delete a white island completely, it is almost restored. The median operator reduces noise in the image without broadening the peaks. The operator is frequently addressed median filter . 

Another group which is used to mask polar groups in molecules in order to improve GC peak shape is the trimethylsilyl group. Atropine Eye Drops BP are used to dilate the pupil prior to cataract surgery. The 1993 BP method for the analysis of Atropine Eye Drops BP uses derivatisation with a trimethylsilyl group to mask an alchohol group as shown in Figure 11.17. 

Inhaled ipratropium bromide generally produces a further improvement in lung function of 10% to 15% over inhaled /32-agonists alone. In children and adults, multiple-dose ipratropium bromide added to initial therapy also produced a reduced hospitalization rate in the subset of patients with an FEVi of less than 30% of predicted at basefine. " Ipratropium bromide, a quaternary amine, is poorly absorbed and produces minimal or no systemic effects. Care should be used when administering ipratropium bromide by nebulizer. If a tight mask or mouthpiece is not used, the ipratropium bromide that deposits in the eyes may produce pupillary dilatation and difficulty in accommodation. Ipratropium bromide is not a vasodilator, so unlike. 182-agonists it will not worsen ventUation-perfusion mismatch. ... 

A dilation operation (equation (2)), denoted by , results in an increase in the number of voxels in a set of voxels (/). Again it is performed with a specifically shaped structuring element H. At each point of the set of foreground voxels, where the mask of the structuring element fits completely, dilation is performed. This operation reconstructs the initial shape of the set of eroded pixels, but without the regions where the structuring element did not fit completely. 

The areas of the cell nuclei are then dilated to also extend into the cytoplasm of each cell (Fig. 2E). This image is then used to generate a second mask. 

The whole picture of acute fulminating beriberi is dominated by insufficiency of heart and blood vessels and this tends to mask all other features of the subacute form, although these are often present and accentuated. Death is accompanied by a systolic pressure falling to 70-80 mm, the pulse becomes thinner, and the veins dilate. The rough whistling respiration deteriorates and rales appear. The patient dies Intensely dyspneic but usually fully conscious.
