A size-invariant convolutional network with dense connectivity applied to retinal vessel segmentation measured by a unique index.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Retinal vessel segmentation (RVS) helps in diagnosing diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and others. Convolutional neural networks are widely used in RVS tasks. However, how to comprehensively evaluate ...

Deep learning architectures analysis for age-related macular degeneration segmentation on optical coherence tomography scans.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Aged people usually are more to be diagnosed with retinal diseases in developed countries. Retinal capillaries leakage into the retina swells and causes an acute vision loss, which is called age-related macular degeneration...

Mass detection in mammograms by bilateral analysis using convolution neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automatic detection of the masses in mammograms is a big challenge and plays a crucial role to assist radiologists for accurate diagnosis. In this paper, a bilateral image analysis method based on Convolution Neural Network ...

Predictive modeling of blood pressure during hemodialysis: a comparison of linear model, random forest, support vector regression, XGBoost, LASSO regression and ensemble method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is commonly occurred and links to higher mortality among patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Its early prediction and prevention will dramatically improve the quality of life. However, predicting the occ...

Performance improvement of mediastinal lymph node severity detection using GAN and Inception network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In lung cancer, the determination of mediastinal lymph node (MLN) status as benign or malignant influence treatment planning and survival rate. Invasive pathological tests for the classification of MLNs into benign and malig...

Acute and sub-acute stroke lesion segmentation from multimodal MRI.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Acute stroke lesion segmentation tasks are of great clinical interest as they can help doctors make better informed time-critical treatment decisions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is time demanding but can provide images...

Web-based fully automated cephalometric analysis by deep learning.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: An accurate lateral cephalometric analysis is vital in orthodontic diagnosis. Identification of anatomic landmarks on lateral cephalograms is tedious, and errors may occur depending on the doctor's experience. Several attemp...
