The performance of case-based reasoning (CBR) depends on an accurate ranking of similar cases in the retrieval phase that affects all subsequent phases and profits from the potential of large databases. Unfortunately, growing databases come along wit...
Traditional methods for assessing illness severity and predicting in-hospital mortality among critically ill patients require time-consuming, error-prone calculations using static variable thresholds. These methods do not capitalize on the emerging a...
Automatic and accurate classification of retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is essential to assist ophthalmologist in the diagnosis and grading of macular diseases. Clinically, ophthalmologists usually diagnose macular diseases accordi...

MOTIVATION: Despite its great success in various physical modeling, differential geometry (DG) has rarely been devised as a versatile tool for analyzing large, diverse, and complex molecular and biomolecular datasets because of the limited understand...
BACKGROUND: Traditional statistical approaches to prediction of outcomes have drawbacks when applied to large clinical databases. It is hypothesized that machine learning methodologies might overcome these limitations by considering higher-dimensiona...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a computational clinical decision support system (DSS) on the basis of CT radiomics features for the prediction of lymph node (LN) metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) using machine learning-bas...
BACKGROUND: We designed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to diagnose thyroid malignancy on ultrasound (US) and compared the diagnostic performance of CNN with that of experienced radiologists.
Early detection and classification of pulmonary nodules using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems is useful in reducing mortality rates of lung cancer. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning method to improve classification accuracy of pulm...
