Lung cancer is one of the most critical diseases due to its significant death rate compared to all other types of cancer. The early diagnosis of lung cancer that improves the patient's chance of surviving is mostly done in two phases: screening throu...
Being a second most cause of mortality worldwide, cancer has been identified as a perilous disease for human beings, where advance stage diagnosis may not help much in safeguarding patients from mortality. Thus, efforts to provide a sustainable archi...
This study aimed to propose a computerized method for detecting the tooth region for each tooth type as the initial stage in the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme for dental panoramic X-ray images. Our database consists of 160 pa...
Myocardial infarction (MI) accounts for a high number of deaths globally. In acute MI, accurate electrocardiography (ECG) is important for timely diagnosis and intervention in the emergency setting. Machine learning is increasingly being explored for...
Computer aided diagnostics often requires analysis of a region of interest (ROI) within a radiology scan, and the ROI may be an organ or a suborgan. Although deep learning algorithms have the ability to outperform other methods, they rely on the avai...
