Automatic skin lesion segmentation on dermoscopic images is an essential step in computer-aided diagnosis of melanoma. However, this task is challenging due to significant variations of lesion appearances across different patients. This challenge is ...
PURPOSE: Mammographic breast density is an established risk marker for breast cancer and is visually assessed by radiologists in routine mammogram image reading, using four qualitative Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) breast density...
Machine learning is a powerful tool that has previously been used to classify schizophrenia (SZ) patients from healthy controls (HC) using magnetic resonance images. Each study, however, uses different datasets, classification algorithms, and validat...
Segmenting human left ventricle (LV) in magnetic resonance imaging images and calculating its volume are important for diagnosing cardiac diseases. The latter task became the topic of the Second Annual Data Science Bowl organized by Kaggle. The datas...

OBJECTIVE: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is the most severe complication of reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Management of AIS patients could benefit from accurate prediction of upcoming HT. While prediction of HT occurr...
Machine learning systems are achieving better performances at the cost of becoming increasingly complex. However, because of that, they become less interpretable, which may cause some distrust by the end-user of the system. This is especially importa...
Current cancer diagnosis employs various nuclear morphometric measures. While these have allowed accurate late-stage prognosis, early diagnosis is still a major challenge. Recent evidence highlights the importance of alterations in mechanical propert...
BACKGROUND: In the era of computer-assisted diagnostic tools for various brain diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD) covers a large percentage of neuroimaging research, with the main scope being its use in daily practice. However, there has been no stud...
