Catheter segmentation in X-ray fluoroscopy using synthetic data and transfer learning with light U-nets.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Background and objectivesAutomated segmentation and tracking of surgical instruments and catheters under X-ray fluoroscopy hold the potential for enhanced image guidance in catheter-based endovascular procedures. This article presents a novel method ...

Content-aware specular reflection suppression based on adaptive image inpainting and neural network for endoscopic images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
In this article, a content-aware specular reflection suppression scheme was developed based on adaptive image inpainting and neural network for endoscopic images. To decrease the impact of specular reflection on visual quality, the proposed scheme co...

Glucose outcomes of a learning-type artificial pancreas with an unannounced meal in type 1 diabetes.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glycemic control with unannounced meals is the major challenge for artificial pancreas. In this study, we described the performance and safety of learning-type model predictive control (L-MPC) for artificial pancreas challe...

A health informatics transformation model based on intelligent cloud computing - exemplified by type 2 diabetes mellitus with related cardiovascular diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Many studies regarding health analysis request structured datasets but the legacy resources provide scattered data. This study aims to establish a health informatics transformation model (HITM) based upon intelligent cloud c...

SVM-based waist circumference estimation using Kinect.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Conventional anthropometric studies using Kinect depth sensors have concentrated on estimating the distances between two points such as height. This paper deals with a novel waist measurement method using SVM regression, fur...

Computer Aided Diagnosis for atrial fibrillation based on new artificial adaptive systems.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, having been recognized as a true cardiovascular epidemic. In this paper, a new methodology for Computer Aided Diagnosis of AF based on a sp...

Real-time computer vision system for tracking simultaneously subject-specific rigid head and non-rigid facial mimic movements using a contactless sensor and system of systems approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Head and facial mimic animations play important roles in various fields such as human-machine interactions, internet communications, multimedia applications, and facial mimic analysis. Numerous studies have been trying to si...

DENSE-INception U-net for medical image segmentation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) play an important role in the field of medical image segmentation. Among many kinds of CNNs, the U-net architecture is one of the most famous fully convolutional network architectures for...

Multi-Scale deep learning framework for cochlea localization, segmentation and analysis on clinical ultra-high-resolution CT images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Performing patient-specific, pre-operative cochlea CT-based measurements could be helpful to positively affect the outcome of cochlear surgery in terms of intracochlear trauma and loss of residual hearing. Therefore, we prop...

Hard exudate detection based on deep model learned information and multi-feature joint representation for diabetic retinopathy screening.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is generally diagnosed by the presence of hemorrhages and hard exudates, is one of the most prevalent causes of visual impairment and blindness. Early detection of hard exudates (HEs) in colo...
