Rethinking ImageNet Pre-training for Computational Histopathology.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Transfer learning from ImageNet pretrained weights is widely used when training Deep Learning models on a Histopathology dataset. However, the visual features of the two domains are different. Rather than ImageNet pretrained weights, pre-training on ...

Extravasation Screening and Severity Prediction from Skin Lesion Image using Deep Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Extravasation occurs secondary to the leakage of medication from blood vessels into the surrounding tissue during intravenous administration resulting in significant soft tissue injury and necrosis. If treatment is delayed, invasive management such a...

Improving the Generalisability of Deep CNNs by Combining Multi-stage Features for Surgical Tool Classification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Dataset characteristics play an important role in training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to evolve optimal features required to perform a specific task. Due to the high cost of recording and labelling surgical data, available datasets are rela...

Classification of Chronic Venous Disorders using an Ensemble Optimization of Convolutional Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Chronic Venous Disorders (CVD) of lower limbs are one of the most prevalent medical conditions, affecting 35% of adults in Europe and North America. The early diagnosis of CVD is critical, however, the diagnosis relies on a visual recognition of the ...

Towards a Closed-loop Neuro-Robotic Approach to DBS Electrode Implantation based on Real-Time Wrist Rigidity Evaluation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The iHandU system is a wearable device that quantitatively evaluates changes in wrist rigidity during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, allowing clinicians to find optimal stimulation settings that reduce patient symptoms. Robotic accuracy is als...

A novel ergodic cellular automaton gene network model towards efficient hardware-based genome simulator.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, a novel ergodic cellular automaton model of Hes1 mRNA and Hes1 protein network is presented. Detailed analyses reveal that the presented network model can reproduce a typical nonlinear bifurcation phenomenon observed in a conventional ...

Addressing the Intra-class Mode Collapse Problem using Adaptive Input Image Normalization in GAN-based X-ray Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Biomedical image datasets can be imbalanced due to the rarity of targeted diseases. Generative Adversarial Networks play a key role in addressing this imbalance by enabling the generation of synthetic images to augment datasets. It is important to ge...

The Effectiveness of Narrowing the Window size for LD & HD EMG Channels based on Novel Deep Learning Wavelet Scattering Transform Feature Extraction Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The use of the Electromyogram (EMG) signals as a source of control to command externally powered prostheses is often challenged by the signal complexity and non-stationary behavior. Mainly, two factors affect classification accuracy: selecting the op...

Dilated Convolution ResNet with Boosting Attention Modules and Combined Loss Functions for LDCT Image Denoising.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
With the increasing concern regarding the radiation exposure of patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers have been using deep learning techniques to improve the quality of denoised low-dose CT (LDCT) images. In this paper, a ca...

A Deep Learning Scheme for Detecting Atrial Fibrillation Based on Fusion of Raw and Discrete Wavelet Transformed ECG Features.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a powerful non-invasive tool for its clinical diagnosis. Automatic AF detection remains a very challenging task due to the high inter-patient varia...
