LiDSCUNet++: A lightweight depth separable convolutional UNet++ for vertebral column segmentation and spondylosis detection.

Research in veterinary science
Accurate computer-aided diagnosis systems rely on precise segmentation of the vertebral column to assist physicians in diagnosing various disorders. However, segmenting spinal disks and bones becomes challenging in the presence of abnormalities and c...

Continuous automated analysis of facial dynamics of brachycephalic and normocephalic dogs in different contexts.

BMC veterinary research
This study develops a novel automated method for measuring continuous dynamics of dog facial behavior based on video-based tracking of 46 facial landmarks grounded in the Dog Facial Action Coding System. This method is applied for comparing the facia...

Deep learning-based evaluation of the severity of mitral regurgitation in canine myxomatous mitral valve disease patients using digital stethoscope recordings.

BMC veterinary research
BACKGROUND: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most prevalent cardiac disorder in dogs, frequently resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) and congestive heart failure. Although echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, i...

Bulldogs stenosis degree classification using synthetic images created by generative artificial intelligence.

Scientific reports
Nasal stenosis in bulldogs significantly impacts their quality of life, making early diagnosis crucial for effective treatment. This study developed an automated deep learning model to classify the severity of nasal stenosis using 1020 images of bull...

PFSH-Net: Parallel frequency-spatial hybrid network for segmentation of kidney stones in pre-contrast computed tomography images of dogs.

Computers in biology and medicine
Kidney stone is a common urological disease in dogs and can lead to serious complications such as pyelonephritis and kidney failure. However, manual diagnosis involves a lot of burdens on radiologists and may cause human errors due to fatigue. Automa...

Machine learning approach in canine mammary tumour classification using rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
Rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) coupled with a monopolar handpiece used for surgical resection and combined with chemometrics has been previously explored by our research group (Mangraviti et al. in Int J Mol Sci 23(18):10562, ...

A machine-learning algorithm to grade heart murmurs and stage preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs.

Journal of veterinary internal medicine
BACKGROUND: The presence and intensity of heart murmurs are sensitive indicators of several cardiac diseases in dogs, particularly myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), but accurate interpretation requires substantial clinical expertise.

Artificial intelligence can be trained to predict -11 mutational status of canine mast cell tumors from hematoxylin and eosin-stained histological slides.

Veterinary pathology
Numerous prognostic factors are currently assessed histologically and immunohistochemically in canine mast cell tumors (MCTs) to evaluate clinical behavior. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is often performed to detect internal tandem dup...

Utilizing machine learning and hemagglutinin sequences to identify likely hosts of influenza H3Nx viruses.

Preventive veterinary medicine
Influenza is a disease that represents both a public health and agricultural risk with pandemic potential. Among the subtypes of influenza A virus, H3 influenza virus can infect many avian and mammalian species and is therefore a virus of interest to...
