Applications of Machine Learning in Fatty Live Disease Prediction.

: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is considered the most prevalent form of chronic liver disease worldwide. The prediction of fatty liver disease is an important factor for effective treatment and reduce serious health consequences. We, therefore construct a prediction model based on machine learning algorithms. A dataset was developed with ten attributes that included 994 liver patients in which 533 pa...

Ontology-Guided Markerless Navigation and Situational Awareness for Endoscopic Surgery.

Optical navigation systems help surgeons find their way through the complex anatomy of a patient. However, such systems are accident-sensitive, time-consuming and difficult to use because of their complicated technical requirements such as the setting of optical markers and their intraoperative registration. The BIOPASS project, therefore, provides an innovative localisation system for markerless ...
