Supervised learning based multimodal MRI brain tumour segmentation using texture features from supervoxels.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of brain tumour in magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a difficult task due to various tumour types. Using information and features from multimodal MRI including structural MRI and isotropic (p) and anisotropic (q) co...

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for breast cancer screening.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Radiologists often have a hard time classifying mammography mass lesions which leads to unnecessary breast biopsies to remove suspicions and this ends up adding exorbitant expenses to an already burdened patient and health c...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Complementary and alternative medicine techniques have shown their potential for the treatment and diagnosis of chronical diseases like diabetes, arthritis etc. On the same time digital image processing techniques for diseas...

Tuberculosis diagnosis support analysis for precarious health information systems.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a world emergency for the World Health Organization. Techniques and new diagnosis tools are important to battle this bacterial infection. There have been many advances in all those fields, but in de...

Taxonomy of multi-focal nematode image stacks by a CNN based image fusion approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the biomedical field, digital multi-focal images are very important for documentation and communication of specimen data, because the morphological information for a transparent specimen can be captured in form of a stack...

Max-margin weight learning for medical knowledge network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The application of medical knowledge strongly affects the performance of intelligent diagnosis, and method of learning the weights of medical knowledge plays a substantial role in probabilistic graphical models (PGMs). The p...
