OBJECTIVE: Deep learning based methods for retinal vessel segmentation are usually trained based on pixel-wise losses, which treat all vessel pixels with equal importance in pixel-to-pixel matching between a predicted probability map and the correspo...
Diagnostic information regarding the health status of the corneal endothelium may be obtained by analyzing the size and the shape of the endothelial cells in specular microscopy images. Prior to the analysis, the endothelial cells need to be extracte...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to explore the natural clustering of echocardiographic variables used for assessing left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) in order to isolate high-risk phenotypic patterns and assess their prognostic significa...
In this paper, we present a new automatic diagnosis method for facial acne vulgaris which is based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To overcome the shortcomings of previous methods which were the inability to classify enough types of acne vul...
Over 26 million people worldwide suffer from heart failure annually. When the cause of heart failure cannot be identified, endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) represents the gold-standard for the evaluation of disease. However, manual EMB interpretation has ...
This work presents a systematic review concerning recent studies and technologies of machine learning for Barrett's esophagus (BE) diagnosis and treatment. The use of artificial intelligence is a brand new and promising way to evaluate such disease. ...

GOAL: We present a model-based feature augmentation scheme to improve the performance of a learning algorithm for the detection of cardiac radio-frequency ablation (RFA) targets with respect to learning from images alone.
Discriminating Alzheimer's disease (AD) from its prodromal form, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is a significant clinical problem that may facilitate early diagnosis and intervention, in which a more challenging issue is to classify MCI subtypes, i...
