PURPOSE: Percutaneous spinal needle insertion procedures often require proper identification of the vertebral level to effectively and safely deliver analgesic agents. The current clinical method involves "blind" identification of the vertebral level...
Ultrasound (US) imaging is a widely used screening tool for obstetric examination and diagnosis. Accurate acquisition of fetal standard planes with key anatomical structures is very crucial for substantial biometric measurement and diagnosis. However...
Feature selection is an important preprocessing method in machine learning and data mining. This process can be used not only to reduce the amount of data to be analyzed but also to build models with stronger interpretability based on fewer features....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main pathologic feature of asthma is episodic airway obstruction. This is usually detected by spirometry and body plethysmography. These tests, however, require a high degree of collaboration and maximal effort on the p...
BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction is the leading cause of non-communicable deaths worldwide. Its diagnosis is a highly complex task, for which modelling through automated methods has been attempted. A systematic review of the literature was per...
PURPOSE: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness globally. Performing retinal screening examinations on all diabetic patients is an unmet need, and there are many undiagnosed and untreated cases of DR. The obje...
Knowledge of protein fold type is critical for determining the protein structure and function. Because of its importance, several computational methods for fold recognition have been proposed. Most of them are based on well-known machine learning tec...
