Learning-based prediction of gestational age from ultrasound images of the fetal brain.

Medical image analysis
We propose an automated framework for predicting gestational age (GA) and neurodevelopmental maturation of a fetus based on 3D ultrasound (US) brain image appearance. Our method capitalizes on age-related sonographic image patterns in conjunction wit...

Computer-aided diagnosis from weak supervision: a benchmarking study.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Supervised machine learning is a powerful tool frequently used in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) applications. The bottleneck of this technique is its demand for fine grained expert annotations, which are tedious for medical image analysis applicatio...

Selective invocation of shape priors for deformable segmentation and morphologic classification of prostate cancer tissue microarrays.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Shape based active contours have emerged as a natural solution to overlap resolution. However, most of these shape-based methods are computationally expensive. There are instances in an image where no overlapping objects are present and applying thes...

Computer-aided diagnosis of mammographic masses using scalable image retrieval.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Computer-aided diagnosis of masses in mammograms is important to the prevention of breast cancer. Many approaches tackle this problem through content-based image retrieval techniques. However, most of them fall short of scalability in the retrieval s...

Towards semantic-driven high-content image analysis: an operational instantiation for mitosis detection in digital histopathology.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
This study concerns a novel symbolic cognitive vision framework emerged from the Cognitive Microscopy (MICO(1)) initiative. MICO aims at supporting the evolution towards digital pathology, by studying cognitive clinical-compliant protocols involving ...

Trainable COSFIRE filters for vessel delineation with application to retinal images.

Medical image analysis
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive opportunity for the diagnosis of several medical pathologies. The automatic segmentation of the vessel tree is an important pre-processing step which facilitates subsequent automatic processes that contribute t...

Four-class classification of skin lesions with task decomposition strategy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper proposes a new computer-aided method for the skin lesion classification applicable to both melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs) and nonmelanocytic skin lesions (NoMSLs). The computer-aided skin lesion classification has drawn attention as an ai...

Feature selection in supervised saliency prediction.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
There is an increasing interest in learning mappings from features to saliency maps based on human fixation data on natural images. These models have achieved better results than most bottom-up (unsupervised) saliency models. However, they usually us...

Detection of temporal lobe epilepsy using support vector machines in multi-parametric quantitative MR imaging.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The detection of MRI abnormalities that can be associated to seizures in the study of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a challenging task. In many cases, patients with a record of epileptic activity do not present any discernible MRI findings. In this...

Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle segmentation in 2D beam-steered ultrasound images. We used a statistical boosting approach to train a p...
