Classifying dysmorphic syndromes by using artificial neural network based hierarchical decision tree.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Dysmorphic syndromes have different facial malformations. These malformations are significant to an early diagnosis of dysmorphic syndromes and contain distinctive information for face recognition. In this study we define the certain features of each...

Epileptic seizure detection in EEG signal using machine learning techniques.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Epilepsy is a well-known nervous system disorder characterized by seizures. Electroencephalograms (EEGs), which capture brain neural activity, can detect epilepsy. Traditional methods for analyzing an EEG signal for epileptic seizure detection are ti...

A novel fully automatic multilevel thresholding technique based on optimized intuitionistic fuzzy sets and tsallis entropy for MR brain tumor image segmentation.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
In the present paper, a hybrid multilevel thresholding technique that combines intuitionistic fuzzy sets and tsallis entropy has been proposed for the automatic delineation of the tumor from magnetic resonance images having vague boundaries and poor ...

A neural controller for online laser power adjustment during the heat therapy process in the presence of nanoparticles.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
The present research evaluated the efficiency of a control approach to control the temperature of a breast tumor mass in the presence of nanoparticles exposed to laser radiation. However, if the radiation is carried out in open loop manner it may res...

Expert system classifier for adaptive radiation therapy in prostate cancer.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
A classifier-based expert system was developed to compare delivered and planned radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients. Its aim is to automatically identify patients that can benefit from an adaptive treatment strategy. The study predominantly...

Predicting prostate tumour location from multiparametric MRI using Gaussian kernel support vector machines: a preliminary study.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
The performance of a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was investigated to predict prostate tumour location using multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) data. The purpose was to obtain information of prostate tumour location for the implementation of bio-...

Multi-atlas and unsupervised learning approach to perirectal space segmentation in CT images.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Perirectal space segmentation in computed tomography images aids in quantifying radiation dose received by healthy tissues and toxicity during the course of radiation therapy treatment of the prostate. Radiation dose normalised by tissue volume facil...

A novel algorithm for ventricular arrhythmia classification using a fuzzy logic approach.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
In the present study, it has been shown that an unnecessary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shock is often delivered to patients with an ambiguous ECG rhythm in the overlap zone between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibril...

Spectral feature extraction of EEG signals and pattern recognition during mental tasks of 2-D cursor movements for BCI using SVM and ANN.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Brain computer interface (BCI) is a new communication way between man and machine. It identifies mental task patterns stored in electroencephalogram (EEG). So, it extracts brain electrical activities recorded by EEG and transforms them machine contro...

Rule based fuzzy logic approach for classification of fibromyalgia syndrome.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic muscle and skeletal system disease observed generally in women, manifesting itself with a widespread pain and impairing the individual's quality of life. FMS diagnosis is made based on the American College of ...
