Application of data mining in a cohort of Italian subjects undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging at an academic medical center.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still one of the primary causes of death in the developed countries. Stress single-photon emission computed tomography is used to evaluate myocardial perfusion and ventricular function in patients with s...

Semi-supervised learning for automatic segmentation of the knee from MRI with convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Segmentation is a crucial step in multiple biomechanics and orthopedics applications. The time-intensiveness and expertise requirements of medical image segmentation present a significant bottleneck for corresponding workflo...

A reliable time-series method for predicting arthritic disease outcomes: New step from regression toward a nonlinear artificial intelligence method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The interrupted time-series (ITS) concept is performed using linear regression to evaluate the impact of policy changes in public health at a specific time. Objectives of this study were to verify, with an artificial intelli...

Artificial intelligence in multiparametric prostate cancer imaging with focus on deep-learning methods.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Prostate cancer represents today the most typical example of a pathology whose diagnosis requires multiparametric imaging, a strategy where multiple imaging techniques are combined to reach an acceptable diagnostic performance. However, the reviewing...

A novel transcranial ultrasound imaging method with diverging wave transmission and deep learning approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Real time brain transcranial ultrasound imaging is extremely intriguing because of its numerous applications. However, the skull causes phase distortion and amplitude attenuation of ultrasound signals due to its density: the speed of sound is signifi...

Fully automatic estimation of pelvic sagittal inclination from anterior-posterior radiography image using deep learning framework.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Malposition of the acetabular component causes dislocation and prosthetic impingement after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), which significantly affects the postoperative quality of life and implant longevity. The position of t...

DeepCQ: Deep multi-task conditional quantification network for estimation of left ventricle parameters.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automatic cardiac left ventricle (LV) quantification plays an important role in assessing cardiac function. Although many advanced methods have been put forward to quantify related LV parameters, automatic cardiac LV quantif...

Boosting ICD multi-label classification of health records with contextual embeddings and label-granularity.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This work deals with clinical text mining, a field of Natural Language Processing applied to biomedical informatics. The aim is to classify Electronic Health Records with respect to the International Classification of Diseas...

Comparison of machine learning algorithms for the identification of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
OBJECTIVES: Identifying acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPDs) is of utmost importance for reducing the associated mortality and financial burden. In this research, the authors aimed to develop identification models fo...
