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...

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...

Retinal vessel extraction using Lattice Neural Networks with Dendritic Processing.

Computers in biology and medicine
Retinal images can be used to detect and follow up several important chronic diseases. The classification of retinal images requires an experienced ophthalmologist. This has been a bottleneck to implement routine screenings performed by general physi...

A generic support vector machine model for preoperative glioma survival associations.

Radiology
PURPOSE: To develop a generic support vector machine (SVM) model by using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based blood volume distribution data for preoperative glioma survival associations and to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of...

Predicting outcome in clinically isolated syndrome using machine learning.

NeuroImage. Clinical
We aim to determine if machine learning techniques, such as support vector machines (SVMs), can predict the occurrence of a second clinical attack, which leads to the diagnosis of clinically-definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) in patients with a clini...

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 system based on fuzzy logic for breast cancer categorization.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Fuzzy logic can help reduce the difficulties faced by computational systems to represent and simulate the reasoning and the style adopted by radiologists in the process of medical image analysis. The study described in this paper consists...

Machine learning framework for early MRI-based Alzheimer's conversion prediction in MCI subjects.

NeuroImage
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD). For the effective treatment of AD, it would be important to identify MCI patients at high risk for conversion to AD. In this 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 ...
