Nucleus and cytoplasm-based segmentation and actor-critic neural network for acute lymphocytic leukaemia detection in single cell blood smear images.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), which is due to the malfunctioning in the bone marrow, is common among people all over the world. The haematologist suffers a lot to discriminate the presence of leukaemia in the patients using the blood smears. T...

AOCT-NET: a convolutional network automated classification of multiclass retinal diseases using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Since introducing optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology for 2D eye imaging, it has become one of the most important and widely used imaging modalities for the noninvasive assessment of retinal eye diseases. Age-related macular degeneration (A...

GSIAR: gene-subcategory interaction-based improved deep representation learning for breast cancer subcategorical analysis using gene expression, applicable for precision medicine.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Tumor subclass detection and diagnosis is inevitable requirement for personalized medical treatment and refinement of the effects that the somatic cells show towards other clinical conditions. The genome of these somatic cells exhibits mutations and ...

A new and effective method for human retina optic disc segmentation with fuzzy clustering method based on active contour model.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
In this paper, a new approach is proposed for localization and segmentation of the optic disc in human retina images. This new approach can find the boundary of the optic disc by an initial fuzzy clustering means algorithm. The proposed approach uses...

Accelerating cardiovascular model building with convolutional neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The objective of this work is to reduce the user effort required for 2D segmentation when building patient-specific cardiovascular models using the SimVascular cardiovascular modeling software package. The proposed method uses a fully convolutional n...

The Helitron family classification using SVM based on Fourier transform features applied on an unbalanced dataset.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Helitrons are mobile sequences which belong to the class 2 of eukaryotic transposons. Their specificity resides in their mechanism of transposition: the rolling circle mechanism. They play an important role in remodeling proteomes due to their abilit...

An improved fuzzy-differential evolution approach applied to classification of tumors in liver CT scan images.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Fuzzy inference systems have been frequently used in medical diagnosis for managing uncertainty sources in the medical images. In addition, fuzzy systems have high level of interpretability because of using linguistic terms for knowledge representati...

A deep learning algorithm for one-step contour aware nuclei segmentation of histopathology images.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
This paper addresses the task of nuclei segmentation in high-resolution histopathology images. We propose an automatic end-to-end deep neural network algorithm for segmentation of individual nuclei. A nucleus-boundary model is introduced to predict n...

Bypassing the volume conduction effect by multilayer neural network for effective connectivity estimation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Differentiation of real interactions between different brain regions from spurious ones has been a challenge in neuroimaging researches. While using electroencephalographic data, those spurious interactions are mostly caused by the volume conduction ...

A CNN-based prototype method of unstructured surgical state perception and navigation for an endovascular surgery robot.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Performance of robot-assisted endovascular surgery (ES) remains highly dependent on an individual surgeon's skills, due to common adoption of master-slave robotic structure. Surgeons' skill modeling and unstructured surgical state perception pose pro...
