Echocardiogram enhancement using supervised manifold denoising.

Medical image analysis
This paper presents data-driven methods for echocardiogram enhancement. Existing denoising algorithms typically rely on a single noise model, and do not generalize to the composite noise sources typically found in real-world echocardiograms. Our meth...

Automated extraction and labelling of the arterial tree from whole-body MRA data.

Medical image analysis
In this work, we present a fully automated algorithm for extraction of the 3D arterial tree and labelling the tree segments from whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WB-MRA) sequences. The algorithm developed consists of two core parts (i) 3D v...

MR image synthesis by contrast learning on neighborhood ensembles.

Medical image analysis
Automatic processing of magnetic resonance images is a vital part of neuroscience research. Yet even the best and most widely used medical image processing methods will not produce consistent results when their input images are acquired with differen...

Online kernel slow feature analysis for temporal video segmentation and tracking.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Slow feature analysis (SFA) is a dimensionality reduction technique which has been linked to how visual brain cells work. In recent years, the SFA was adopted for computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose an exact kernel SFA (KSFA) framework f...

Support vector machine classification of brain metastasis and radiation necrosis based on texture analysis in MRI.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
PURPOSE: To develop a classification model using texture features and support vector machine in contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images to differentiate between brain metastasis and radiation necrosis.

Robust representation and recognition of facial emotions using extreme sparse learning.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Recognition of natural emotions from human faces is an interesting topic with a wide range of potential applications, such as human-computer interaction, automated tutoring systems, image and video retrieval, smart environments, and driver warning sy...

Efficient method for analyzing MR real-time cines: Toward accurate quantification of left ventricular function.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: To develop and assess an efficient method to identify end-expiratory end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) images for accurate quantification of left ventricular (LV) function in real-time cine imaging.

Structured patch model for a unified automatic and interactive segmentation framework.

Medical image analysis
We present a novel interactive segmentation framework incorporating a priori knowledge learned from training data. The knowledge is learned as a structured patch model (StPM) comprising sets of corresponding local patch priors and their pairwise spat...

Predicting Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease in Subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Machine Learning Classification of Multimodal Multicenter Diffusion-Tensor and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data.

Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients show early changes in white matter (WM) structural integrity. We studied the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing WM alterations in the predementia stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Watershed based intelligent scissors.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Watershed based modification of intelligent scissors has been developed. This approach requires a preprocessing phase with anisotropic diffusion to reduce subtle edges. Then, the watershed transform enhances the corridors. Finally, a roaming procedur...
