Classification of Volumetric Images Using Multi-Instance Learning and Extreme Value Theorem.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Volumetric imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for medical practitioners. The use of popular techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) for analysis of volumetric images is constrained by the availability of detailed (with local annot...

Digital whole-slide image analysis for automated diatom test in forensic cases of drowning using a convolutional neural network algorithm.

Forensic science international
Diatom examinations have been widely used to perform drowning diagnosis in forensic practice. However, current methods for recognizing diatoms, which use light or electron microscopy, are time-consuming and laborious and often result in false positiv...

Learning to Quantify Emphysema Extent: What Labels Do We Need?

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Accurate assessment of pulmonary emphysema is crucial to assess disease severity and subtype, to monitor disease progression, and to predict lung cancer risk. However, visual assessment is time-consuming and subject to substantial inter-rater variabi...

A convolutional neural network for ultra-low-dose CT denoising and emphysema screening.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Reducing dose level to achieve ALARA is an important task in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of computed tomography (CT) imaging. Effective image quality enhancement strategies are crucial to compensate for the degradation caused by ...

Transbronchial biopsy catheter enhanced by a multisection continuum robot with follow-the-leader motion.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Current manual catheters for transbronchial biopsy in the lung lack a steering ability, which hampers a physician's ability to reach nodules in the peripheral lung. The objective of this paper is to design and build a multisection robot with...

Diagnostic value of spirometry vs impulse oscillometry: A comparative study in children with sickle cell disease.

Pediatric pulmonology
BACKGROUND: Spirometry is conventionally used to diagnose airway diseases in children with sickle cell disease (C-SCD). However, spirometry is difficult for younger children to perform, is effort dependent, and it provides limited information on resp...

Deep Learning-based Image Conversion of CT Reconstruction Kernels Improves Radiomics Reproducibility for Pulmonary Nodules or Masses.

Radiology
Background Intratumor heterogeneity in lung cancer may influence outcomes. CT radiomics seeks to assess tumor features to provide detailed imaging features. However, CT radiomic features vary according to the reconstruction kernel used for image gene...

An Intelligent Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) BASED Batch Normalization for Medical Image Denoising.

Journal of medical systems
The process of denoising of medical images that are corrupted by noise is considered as a long established setback in the signal or image processing domain. An effective system for denoising in order to remove white, salt and also pepper noises by me...
