Quantitative analysis of breast echotexture patterns in automated breast ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Breast tissue composition is considered to be associated with breast cancer risk. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided classification (CAC) system to automatically classify echotexture patterns as heterogeneous or homogeneous using a...

Integrating different data types by regularized unsupervised multiple kernel learning with application to cancer subtype discovery.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Despite ongoing cancer research, available therapies are still limited in quantity and effectiveness, and making treatment decisions for individual patients remains a hard problem. Established subtypes, which help guide these decisions, a...

Automatic Detection of Masses in Mammograms Using Quality Threshold Clustering, Correlogram Function, and SVM.

Journal of digital imaging
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world. Several computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems have been used to assist health experts and to indicate suspect areas that would be difficult to perceive by the human eye; th...

Semi-Supervised Affinity Propagation with Soft Instance-Level Constraints.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Soft-constraint semi-supervised affinity propagation (SCSSAP) adds supervision to the affinity propagation (AP) clustering algorithm without strictly enforcing instance-level constraints. Constraint violations lead to an adjustment of the AP similari...

[The blind source separation method based on self-organizing map neural network and convolution kernel compensation for multi-channel sEMG signals].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
A new method based on convolution kernel compensation (CKC) for decomposing multi-channel surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals is proposed in this paper. Unsupervised learning and clustering function of self-organizing map (SOM) neural network are e...

A multi-stage random forest classifier for phase contrast cell segmentation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We present a machine learning based approach to automatically detect and segment cells in phase contrast images. The proposed method consists of a multi-stage classification scheme based on random forest (RF) classifier. Both low level and mid level ...

Segmentation of acne lesion using fuzzy C-means technique with intelligent selection of the desired cluster.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Segmentation is the basic and important step for digital image analysis and understanding. Segmentation of acne lesions in the visual spectrum of light is very challenging due to factors such as varying skin tones due to ethnicity, camera calibration...

Multiple fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm in medical diagnosis.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the use of the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering techniques in medical diagnosis has steadily increased, because of its effectiveness in recognizing systems in the medical database to help medical experts diagnosing diseases...

An improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm for assisted therapy of chronic bronchitis.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Bronchitis is considered a non-specific inflammation in the peripheral tissues of the trachea and bronchus. Many therapeutic schemes for chronic bronchitis have been reported in existing research.
