Radiomics in gliomas: clinical implications of computational modeling and fractal-based analysis.

Neuroradiology
Radiomics is an emerging field that involves extraction and quantification of features from medical images. These data can be mined through computational analysis and models to identify predictive image biomarkers that characterize intra-tumoral dyna...

Two dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis of low coherence images for diagnosis of cervical pre-cancer.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
We report detection of cervical pre-cancer through their low coherence images by applying two dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis. Low coherent backscattered images of pre-cancerous cervical tissue sections were captured using a c...

Liver tissue classification of en face images by fractal dimension-based support vector machine.

Journal of biophotonics
Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) has been reported with its label-free subcellular imaging performance. To realize quantitive cancer detection, the support vector machine model of classifying normal and cancerous human liver tissue is...

Fractal dimension of cerebral white matter: A consistent feature for prediction of the cognitive performance in patients with small vessel disease and mild cognitive impairment.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Patients with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) frequently show decline in cognitive performance. However, neuroimaging in SVD patients discloses a wide range of brain lesions and alterations so that it is often difficult to understand which of the...

The Adaptive Hermite Fractal Tree (AHFT): a novel surgical 3D path planning approach with curvature and heading constraints.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In the context of minimally invasive neurosurgery, steerable needles such as the one developed within the Horizon2020-funded EDEN2020 project (Frasson et al. in Proc Inst Mech Eng Part H J Eng Med 224(6):775-88, 2010. https://doi.org/10.1243...

Application of fractal theory and fuzzy enhancement in ultrasound image segmentation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...

Estimation of soil specific surface area using some mechanical properties of soil by artificial neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Soil specific surface area (SSA) is an important property of soil. Depending on the measurement techniques, determination of the SSA is costly and time consuming. Hence, a limited number of studies have been conducted to predict the SSA from the soil...

Morphological classification of odontogenic keratocysts using Bouligand-Minkowski fractal descriptors.

Computers in biology and medicine
The Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a cystic lesion of the jaws, which has high growth and recurrence rates compared to other cysts of the jaws (for instance, radicular cyst, which is the most common jaw cyst type). For this reason OKCs are considere...
