Effect of incremental feature enrichment on healthcare text classification system: A machine learning paradigm.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Healthcare tweets are particularly challenging due to its sparse layout and its limited character size. Compared to previous method based on "bag of words" (BOW) model, this study uniquely identifies the enrichment protocol ...

An automated data verification approach for improving data quality in a clinical registry.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The quality of data is crucial for clinical registry studies as it impacts credibility. In the regular practice of most such studies, a vulnerability arises from researchers recording data on paper-based case report forms (C...

Spinal cord detection in planning CT for radiotherapy through adaptive template matching, IMSLIC and convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The spinal cord is a very important organ that must be protected in treatments of radiotherapy (RT), considered an organ at risk (OAR). Excess rays associated with the spinal cord can cause irreversible diseases in patients ...

Semi-supervised encoding for outlier detection in clinical observation data.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Electronic Health Record (EHR) data often include observation records that are unlikely to represent the "truth" about a patient at a given clinical encounter. Due to their high throughput, examples of such implausible obser...

Prediction of fatty liver disease using machine learning algorithms.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a common clinical complication; it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, an early prediction of FLD patients provides an opportunity to make an appropriate strategy for preven...

A propagation-DNN: Deep combination learning of multi-level features for MR prostate segmentation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate segmentation on Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is problematic because disease changes the shape and boundaries of the gland and it can be difficult to separate the prostate from surrounding tissues. We propose an a...

Geometrical features for premature ventricular contraction recognition with analytic hierarchy process based machine learning algorithms selection.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular contraction is associated to the risk of coronary heart disease, and its diagnosis depends on a long time heart monitoring. For this purpose, monitoring through Holter devices is often used and computat...

Prediction of sepsis patients using machine learning approach: A meta-analysis.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Sepsis is a common and major health crisis in hospitals globally. An innovative and feasible tool for predicting sepsis remains elusive. However, early and accurate prediction of sepsis could help physicians with proper treatments an...

Automatic quantification of the LV function and mass: A deep learning approach for cardiovascular MRI.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
OBJECTIVE: This paper proposes a novel approach for automatic left ventricle (LV) quantification using convolutional neural networks (CNN).

Computer Aided Diagnosis System for multiple sclerosis disease based on phase to amplitude coupling in covert visual attention.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) techniques have widely been used in research to detect the neurological abnormalities and improve the consistency of diagnosis and treatment in medicine. In this study, a new CAD system based o...
