Osteoarthritis of the Temporomandibular Joint can be diagnosed earlier using biomarkers and machine learning.

After chronic low back pain, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders are the second most common musculoskeletal condition affecting 5 to 12% of the population, with an annual health cost estimated at $4 billion. Chronic disability in TMJ osteoarthritis (OA) increases with aging, and the main goal is to diagnosis before morphological degeneration occurs. Here, we address this challenge using advanc...

Deep neural model with self-training for scientific keyphrase extraction.

Scientific information extraction is a crucial step for understanding scientific publications. In this paper, we focus on scientific keyphrase extraction, which aims to identify keyphrases from scientific articles and classify them into predefined categories. We present a neural network based approach for this task, which employs the bidirectional long short-memory (LSTM) to represent the sentence...

Generative approach for data augmentation for deep learning-based bone surface segmentation from ultrasound images.

PURPOSE: Precise localization of cystic bone lesions is crucial for osteolytic bone tumor surgery. Recently, there is a move toward ultrasound imaging...

Alveolar Bone Segmentation in Intraoral Ultrasonographs with Machine Learning.

The use of intraoral ultrasound imaging has received great attention recently due to the benefits of being a portable and low-cost imaging solution fo...

Deep learning-based fully automatic segmentation of wrist cartilage in MR images.
