Ultrasound Image Discrimination between Benign and Malignant Adnexal Masses Based on a Neural Network Approach.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
The discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses in ultrasound images represents one of the most challenging problems in gynecologic practice. In the study described here, a new method for automatic discrimination of adnexal masses base...

Fast Multiclass Dictionaries Learning With Geometrical Directions in MRI Reconstruction.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Improve the reconstructed image with fast and multiclass dictionaries learning when magnetic resonance imaging is accelerated by undersampling the k-space data.

Color Correction Parameter Estimation on the Smartphone and Its Application to Automatic Tongue Diagnosis.

Journal of medical systems
BACKGROUND: An automatic tongue diagnosis framework is proposed to analyze tongue images taken by smartphones. Different from conventional tongue diagnosis systems, our input tongue images are usually in low resolution and taken under unknown lightin...

Exploiting ensemble learning for automatic cataract detection and grading.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Cataract is defined as a lenticular opacity presenting usually with poor visual acuity. It is one of the most common causes of visual impairment worldwide. Early diagnosis demands the expertise of trained healthcare professionals, which may present a...

Analyzing animal behavior via classifying each video frame using convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
High-throughput analysis of animal behavior requires software to analyze videos. Such software analyzes each frame individually, detecting animals' body parts. But the image analysis rarely attempts to recognize "behavioral states"-e.g., actions or f...

A bifurcation identifier for IV-OCT using orthogonal least squares and supervised machine learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) is an in-vivo imaging modality based on the intravascular introduction of a catheter which provides a view of the inner wall of blood vessels with a spatial resolution of 10-20 μm. Recent studies in...

Multi-scale deep networks and regression forests for direct bi-ventricular volume estimation.

Medical image analysis
Direct estimation of cardiac ventricular volumes has become increasingly popular and important in cardiac function analysis due to its effectiveness and efficiency by avoiding an intermediate segmentation step. However, existing methods rely on eithe...

Retinal vessel segmentation using multi-scale textons derived from keypoints.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
This paper presents a retinal vessel segmentation algorithm which uses a texton dictionary to classify vessel/non-vessel pixels. However, in contrast to previous work where filter parameters are learnt from manually labelled image pixels our filter p...

A Bayesian approach to distinguishing interdigitated tongue muscles from limited diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The tongue is a critical organ for a variety of functions, including swallowing, respiration, and speech. It contains intrinsic and extrinsic muscles that play an important role in changing its shape and position. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has b...

Exploring multifractal-based features for mild Alzheimer's disease classification.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: Multifractal applications to resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) time series for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) are still limited. We aim to address two issues: (I) if and what multifractal features are sufficiently discriminative to...
