Detection of exudates in fundus photographs using deep neural networks and anatomical landmark detection fusion.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading disabling chronic diseases and one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in developed world. Early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy enables timely treatment and in order t...

Applying data mining techniques for increasing implantation rate by selecting best sperms for intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection treatment.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Aspiration of a good-quality sperm during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is one of the main concerns. Understanding the influence of individual sperm morphology on fertilization, embryo quality, and pregnancy probab...

AVNM: A Voting based Novel Mathematical Rule for Image Classification.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In machine learning, the accuracy of the system depends upon classification result. Classification accuracy plays an imperative role in various domains. Non-parametric classifier like K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is the most wi...

Classifying smoking urges via machine learning.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death and diseases in the developed world, and advances in modern electronics and machine learning can help us deliver real-time intervention to smokers in novel ways. In this pape...

Fractional order integration and fuzzy logic based filter for denoising of echocardiographic image.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound is widely used for imaging due to its cost effectiveness and safety feature. However, ultrasound images are inherently corrupted with speckle noise which severely affects the quality of these images and create difficulty for ph...

Risk analysis of lung cancer and effects of stress level on cancer risk through neuro-fuzzy model.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
A significant number of people pass away due to limited medical resources for the battle with cancer. Fatal cases can be reduced by using the computational techniques in the medical and health system. If the cancer is diagnosed early, the chance of s...

A new thresholding technique based on fuzzy set as an application to leukocyte nucleus segmentation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this paper is to segment leukocytes in blood smear images using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). Generally, uncertainties occur in terms of vagueness through brightness levels of image. Pr...

Computerized breast cancer analysis system using three stage semi-supervised learning method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A large number of labeled medical image data is usually a requirement to train a well-performed computer-aided detection (CAD) system. But the process of data labeling is time consuming, and potential ethical and logistical ...

A multiscale modelling of bone ultrastructure elastic proprieties using finite elements simulation and neural network method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Bone is a living material with a complex hierarchical structure which entails exceptional mechanical properties, including high fracture toughness, specific stiffness and strength. Bone tissue is essentially composed by two phases distributed in appr...

Retinal blood vessel extraction using tunable bandpass filter and fuzzy conditional entropy.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Extraction of blood vessels on retinal images plays a significant role for screening of different opthalmologic diseases. However, accurate extraction of the entire and individual type of vessel silhouette from the noisy im...
