BACKGROUND: Breast cancer causes hundreds of thousands of deaths each year worldwide. The early stage diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce the mortality rate. However, the traditional manual diagnosis needs intense workload, and diagnosti...
BACKGROUND: In this age of big data, certain models require very large data stores in order to be informative and accurate. In many cases however, the data are stored in separate locations requiring data transfer between local sites which can cause v...
Owing to the diversity of pulse-wave morphology, pulse-based diagnosis is difficult, especially pulse-wave-pattern classification (PWPC). A powerful method for PWPC is a convolutional neural network (CNN). It outperforms conventional methods in patte...
CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging has gained importance in the diagnosis of acute stroke. Conventional perfusion analysis performs a deconvolution of the measurements and thresholds the perfusion parameters to determine the tissue status. We pursue a data-d...
Liver and hepatic tumor segmentation remains a challenging problem in Computer Tomography (CT) images analysis due to its shape variation and vague boundary. The general hypothesis says that deep learning methods produce improved results on medical i...
There is significant interest in the development and application of deep neural networks (DNNs) to neuroimaging data. A growing literature suggests that DNNs outperform their classical counterparts in a variety of neuroimaging applications, yet there...
Utilizing clinical observational data to estimate individualized treatment effects (ITE) is a challenging task, as confounding inevitably exists in clinical data. Most of the existing models for ITE estimation tackle this problem by creating unbiased...
Surgical tool presence detection and surgical phase recognition are two fundamental yet challenging tasks in surgical video analysis as well as very essential components in various applications in modern operating rooms. While these two analysis task...
