A review of machine learning methods for retinal blood vessel segmentation and artery/vein classification.

Medical image analysis
The eye affords a unique opportunity to inspect a rich part of the human microvasculature non-invasively via retinal imaging. Retinal blood vessel segmentation and classification are prime steps for the diagnosis and risk assessment of microvascular ...

Cleaning Up the MESS: Can Machine Learning Be Used to Predict Lower Extremity Amputation after Trauma-Associated Arterial Injury?

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: Thirty years after the Mangled Extremity Severity Score was developed, advances in vascular, trauma, and orthopaedic surgery have rendered the sensitivity of this score obsolete. A significant number of patients receive amputation during ...

Prediction of stenosis behaviour in artery by neural network and multiple linear regressions.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
Blood flow analysis in the artery is a paramount study in the field of arterial stenosis evaluation. Studies conducted so far have reported the analysis of blood flow parameters using different techniques, but the regression analysis is not adequatel...

Machine learning derived input-function in a dynamic F-FDG PET study of mice.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Tracer kinetic modelling, based on dynamic F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is used to quantify glucose metabolism in humans and animals. Knowledge of the arterial input-function (AIF) is required for such measurements. O...

Post-processing radio-frequency signal based on deep learning method for ultrasonic microbubble imaging.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Improving imaging quality is a fundamental problem in ultrasound contrast agent imaging (UCAI) research. Plane wave imaging (PWI) has been deemed as a potential method for UCAI due to its' high frame rate and low mechanical index. High fr...

Abdominal artery segmentation method from CT volumes using fully convolutional neural network.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSEĀ : The purpose of this paper is to present a fully automated abdominal artery segmentation method from a CT volume. Three-dimensional (3D) blood vessel structure information is important for diagnosis and treatment. Information about blood ves...

Precise estimation of renal vascular dominant regions using spatially aware fully convolutional networks, tensor-cut and Voronoi diagrams.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
This paper presents a new approach for precisely estimating the renal vascular dominant region using a Voronoi diagram. To provide computer-assisted diagnostics for the pre-surgical simulation of partial nephrectomy surgery, we must obtain informatio...

Reduction of operator radiation exposure using a passive robotic device during fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncture: an experimental study in a swine model.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: Vascular interventions imply radiation exposure to the operating physician (OP). To reduce radiation exposure, we propose a novel passive robotic device for fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncturing.
