The choice of features greatly influences the performance of a tissue classification system. Despite this, many systems are built with standard, predefined filter banks that are not optimized for that particular application. Representation learning m...
This paper presents a fully automated method for the identification of bone marrow infiltration in femurs in low-dose CT of patients with multiple myeloma. We automatically find the femurs and the bone marrow within them. In the next step, we create ...

We turn the Self-organizing Map (SOM) into an Oriented and Scalable Map (OS-Map) by generalizing the neighborhood function and the winner selection. The homogeneous Gaussian neighborhood function is replaced with the matrix exponential. Thus we can s...
One of the most common diseases that affect human red blood cells (RBCs) is anaemia. To diagnose anaemia, the following methods are typically employed: an identification process that is based on measuring the level of haemoglobin and the classificati...
Cryosection brain images in Chinese Visible Human (CVH) dataset contain rich anatomical structure information of tissues because of its high resolution (e.g., 0.167 mm per pixel). Fast and accurate segmentation of these images into white matter, gray...

BACKGROUND: In radiology, a vast amount of diverse data is generated, and unstructured reporting is standard. Hence, much useful information is trapped in free-text form, and often lost in translation and transmission. One relevant source of free-tex...
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are shockable ventricular cardiac ailments. Detection of VT/VF is one of the important step in both automated external defibrillator (AED) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)...
Surveying threatened and invasive species to obtain accurate population estimates is an important but challenging task that requires a considerable investment in time and resources. Estimates using existing ground-based monitoring techniques, such as...
