PURPOSE: This paper addresses the detection of the clinical target volume (CTV) in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) image-guided intraoperative for permanent prostate brachytherapy. Developing a robust and automatic method to detect the CTV on intraoper...
BACKGROUND: Technological advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and chromatographic assays [e.g., liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)] have made it possible to identify thousands of microbe and metabolite species, and to measure th...
Machine learning algorithms trained to predict the regulatory activity of nucleic acid sequences have revealed principles of gene regulation and guided genetic variation analysis. While the human genome has been extensively annotated and studied, mod...
Automated monitoring of the movements and behaviour of animals is a valuable research tool. Recently, machine learning tools were applied to many species to classify units of behaviour. For the monitoring of wild species, collecting enough data for t...

The segmentation of the lesion plays a core role in diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis (MS). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most frequent image modality used to evaluate such lesions. Because of the massive amount of data, manual...
A new method to predict coronary artery lesions (CALs) in Kawasaki disease (KD) was developed using a mean structure equation model (SEM) and neural networks (Nnet). There were 314 admitted children with KD who met at least four of the six diagnostic...

PURPOSE: The analysis of the maxillary sinus (MS) can provide an assessment for many clinical diagnoses, so accurate CT image segmentation of the MS is essential. However, common segmentation methods are mainly done by experienced doctors manually, a...
Background Deep learning has presented considerable potential and is gaining more importance in computer assisted diagnosis. As the gold standard for pathologically diagnosing cervical intraepithelial lesions and invasive cervical cancer, colposcopy-...
Translational research of many disease areas requires a longitudinal understanding of disease development and progression across all biologically relevant scales. Several corresponding studies are now available. However, to compile a comprehensive pi...
In forensic investigation, retrieving biological information from DNA evidence is a promising field of interest. One of the applications is on the estimation of the age of the donor based on DNA methylation. A large number of studies focused on age p...
