Application of fractal theory and fuzzy enhancement in ultrasound image segmentation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...

A study of intracortical porosity's area fractions and aspect ratios using computer vision and pulse-coupled neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Employing computer vision (CV) and optimized pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), this work automatically quantifies the geometrical attributes of intracortical bone porosity (namely lacunae and canaliculi (L-C), Haversian canals, and resorption cav...

Neural network-based model predictive control for type 1 diabetic rats on artificial pancreas system.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Artificial pancreas system (APS) is a viable option to treat diabetic patients. Researchers, however, have not conclusively determined the best control method for APS. Due to intra-/inter-variability of insulin absorption and action, an individualize...

A hierarchical semi-supervised extreme learning machine method for EEG recognition.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Feature extraction and classification is a vital part in motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (BCI) system. Traditional deep learning (DL) methods usually perform better with more labeled training samples. Unfortunately, the labeled samples a...

A novel fused convolutional neural network for biomedical image classification.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
With the advent of biomedical imaging technology, the number of captured and stored biomedical images is rapidly increasing day by day in hospitals, imaging laboratories and biomedical institutions. Therefore, more robust biomedical image analysis te...

Classification of pressure ulcer tissues with 3D convolutional neural network.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
A 3D convolution neural network (CNN) of deep learning architecture is supplied with essential visual features to accurately classify and segment granulation, necrotic eschar, and slough tissues in pressure ulcer color images. After finding a region ...

Automatic recognition of 3D GGO CT imaging signs through the fusion of hybrid resampling and layer-wise fine-tuning CNNs.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a common CT imaging sign on high-resolution CT, which means the lesion is more likely to be malignant compared to common solid lung nodules. The automatic recognition of GGO CT imaging signs is of great importance for ea...

Soft tissue deformation modelling through neural dynamics-based reaction-diffusion mechanics.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Soft tissue deformation modelling forms the basis of development of surgical simulation, surgical planning and robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. This paper presents a new methodology for modelling of soft tissue deformation based on reacti...

Patient-specific and global convolutional neural networks for robust automatic liver tumor delineation in follow-up CT studies.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Radiological longitudinal follow-up of tumors in CT scans is essential for disease assessment and liver tumor therapy. Currently, most tumor size measurements follow the RECIST guidelines, which can be off by as much as 50%. True volumetric measureme...

Classifying clinical notes with pain assessment using machine learning.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Pain is a significant public health problem, affecting millions of people in the USA. Evidence has highlighted that patients with chronic pain often suffer from deficits in pain care quality (PCQ) including pain assessment, treatment, and reassessmen...
