Ultrasound Image Segmentation: A Deeply Supervised Network With Attention to Boundaries.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Segmentation of anatomical structures in ultrasound images requires vast radiological knowledge and experience. Moreover, the manual segmentation often results in subjective variations, therefore, an automatic segmentation is desirable. We...

The hepatotoxic potential of protein kinase inhibitors predicted with Random Forest and Artificial Neural Networks.

Toxicology letters
Protein kinases (PKs) play a role in many pivotal aspects of cellular function. Dysregulation and mutations of protein kinases are involved in the development of different diseases, which might be treated by inhibition of the corresponding kinase. Pr...

Application of fractal theory and fuzzy enhancement in ultrasound image segmentation.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...

In vitro and in vivo resistance of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG carried by a mixed pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merril) and jussara (Euterpe edulis Martius) juice to the gastrointestinal tract.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
This study evaluated the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and its in vitro and in vivo resistance to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) when carried by a mixed fermented pineapple and jussara juice. The effects of product ingestion on the ...

Registration-Based Organ Positioning and Joint Segmentation Method for Liver and Tumor Segmentation.

BioMed research international
The automated segmentation of liver and tumor from CT images is of great importance in medical diagnoses and clinical treatment. However, accurate and automatic segmentation of liver and tumor is generally complicated due to the complex anatomical st...

Development of deep neural network for individualized hepatobiliary toxicity prediction after liver SBRT.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of radiation toxicity of healthy organs-at-risks (OARs) critically determines the radiation therapy (RT) success. The existing dose-volume histogram-based metric may grossly under/overestimate the therapeutic toxicity ...

Development and Validation of a Deep Learning System for Staging Liver Fibrosis by Using Contrast Agent-enhanced CT Images in the Liver.

Radiology
Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning system (DLS) for staging liver fibrosis by using CT images in the liver. Materials and Methods DLS for CT-based staging of liver fibrosis was created by using a development data set that included portal...

Robust liver vessel extraction using 3D U-Net with variant dice loss function.

Computers in biology and medicine
PURPOSE: Liver vessel extraction from CT images is essential in liver surgical planning. Liver vessel segmentation is difficult due to the complex vessel structures, and even expert manual annotations contain unlabeled vessels. This paper presents an...
