Decision Support System for Detection of Papilledema through Fundus Retinal Images.

Journal of medical systems
A condition in which the optic nerve inside the eye is swelled due to increased intracranial pressure is known as papilledema. The abnormalities due to papilledema such as opacification of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL), dilated optic disc capillar...

Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease Based on Support Vector Machine by Feature Selection Methods.

Journal of medical systems
As Chronic Kidney Disease progresses slowly, early detection and effective treatment are the only cure to reduce the mortality rate. Machine learning techniques are gaining significance in medical diagnosis because of their classification ability wit...

A Belief Rule Based Expert System to Assess Tuberculosis under Uncertainty.

Journal of medical systems
The primary diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TB) is usually carried out by looking at the various signs and symptoms of a patient. However, these signs and symptoms cannot be measured with 100 % certainty since they are associated with various types of unc...

An Integrated Soft Computing Approach to Hughes Syndrome Risk Assessment.

Journal of medical systems
The AntiPhospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an acquired autoimmune disorder induced by high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies that cause arterial and veins thrombosis, as well as pregnancy-related complications and morbidity, as clinical manifestation...

An Evolving Ecosystem for Natural Language Processing in Department of Veterans Affairs.

Journal of medical systems
In an ideal clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP) ecosystem, researchers and developers would be able to collaborate with others, undertake validation of NLP systems, components, and related resources, and disseminate them. We captured requireme...

Runtime Verification of Pacemaker Functionality Using Hierarchical Fuzzy Colored Petri-nets.

Journal of medical systems
Today, implanted medical devices are increasingly used for many patients and in case of diverse health problems. However, several runtime problems and errors are reported by the relevant organizations, even resulting in patient death. One of those de...

Characterizing Architectural Distortion in Mammograms by Linear Saliency.

Journal of medical systems
Architectural distortion (AD) is a common cause of false-negatives in mammograms. This lesion usually consists of a central retraction of the connective tissue and a spiculated pattern radiating from it. This pattern is difficult to detect due the co...

Medical Image Retrieval Using Vector Quantization and Fuzzy S-tree.

Journal of medical systems
The aim of the article is to present a novel method for fuzzy medical image retrieval (FMIR) using vector quantization (VQ) with fuzzy signatures in conjunction with fuzzy S-trees. In past times, a task of similar pictures searching was not based on ...

Spatial Fuzzy C Means and Expectation Maximization Algorithms with Bias Correction for Segmentation of MR Brain Images.

Journal of medical systems
The Fuzzy C Means (FCM) and Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithms are the most prevalent methods for automatic segmentation of MR brain images into three classes Gray Matter (GM), White Matter (WM) and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). The major difficul...

What kind of Relationship is Between Body Mass Index and Body Fat Percentage?

Journal of medical systems
Although body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (B F %) are well known as indicators of nutritional status, there are insuficient data whether the relationship between them is linear or not. There are appropriate linear and quadratic formulas ...
