Method of Improved Fuzzy Contrast Combined Adaptive Threshold in NSCT for Medical Image Enhancement.

BioMed research international
Noises and artifacts are introduced to medical images due to acquisition techniques and systems. This interference leads to low contrast and distortion in images, which not only impacts the effectiveness of the medical image but also seriously affect...

Improving dense conditional random field for retinal vessel segmentation by discriminative feature learning and thin-vessel enhancement.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As retinal vessels in color fundus images are thin and elongated structures, standard pairwise based random fields, which always suffer the "shrinking bias" problem, are not competent for such segmentation task. Recently, a...

Sparse Representation Based Multi-Instance Learning for Breast Ultrasound Image Classification.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
We propose a novel method based on sparse representation for breast ultrasound image classification under the framework of multi-instance learning (MIL). After image enhancement and segmentation, concentric circle is used to extract the global and lo...

Scanning double-sided documents without incurring show-through by learning to fuse two complementary images using multilayer perceptron.

PloS one
This paper presents a novel method for scanning duplex-printed documents without incurring the unwanted show-through artifact. The proposed method achieves the goal of eliminating the leaked-out reverse-side content by fusing a white backed scan imag...

Semi-automated brain tumor segmentation on multi-parametric MRI using regularized non-negative matrix factorization.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Segmentation of gliomas in multi-parametric (MP-)MR images is challenging due to their heterogeneous nature in terms of size, appearance and location. Manual tumor segmentation is a time-consuming task and clinical practice would benefit ...

Differentiation of Enhancing Glioma and Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma by Texture-Based Machine Learning.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate preoperative differentiation of primary central nervous system lymphoma and enhancing glioma is essential to avoid unnecessary neurosurgical resection in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma. The purp...

Computer vision-based diameter maps to study fluoroscopic recordings of small intestinal motility from conscious experimental animals.

Neurogastroenterology and motility
BACKGROUND: When available, fluoroscopic recordings are a relatively cheap, non-invasive and technically straightforward way to study gastrointestinal motility. Spatiotemporal maps have been used to characterize motility of intestinal preparations in...

Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis.

Annual review of biomedical engineering
This review covers computer-assisted analysis of images in the field of medical imaging. Recent advances in machine learning, especially with regard to deep learning, are helping to identify, classify, and quantify patterns in medical images. At the ...

Implementing Machine Learning in Radiology Practice and Research.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this article are to describe concepts that radiologists should understand to evaluate machine learning projects, including common algorithms, supervised as opposed to unsupervised techniques, statistical pitfalls, and data ...
