Selection of peripheral intravenous catheters with 24-gauge side-holes versus those with 22-gauge end-hole for MDCT: A prospective randomized study.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To compare the 24-gauge side-holes catheter and conventional 22-gauge end-hole catheter in terms of safety, injection pressure, and contrast enhancement on multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT).

Mammogram Enhancement Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Conventional mammogram enhancement methods use transform-domain filtering, which possibly produce some artifacts or not well highlight all local details in images. This paper presents a new enhancement method based on intuitionistic fuzzy ...

Decision Making Based on Fuzzy Aggregation Operators for Medical Diagnosis from Dental X-ray images.

Journal of medical systems
Medical diagnosis is considered as an important step in dentistry treatment which assists clinicians to give their decision about diseases of a patient. It has been affirmed that the accuracy of medical diagnosis, which is much influenced by the clin...

Computer-aided diagnosis system for lung nodules based on computed tomography using shape analysis, a genetic algorithm, and SVM.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Lung cancer is the major cause of death among patients with cancer worldwide. This work is intended to develop a methodology for the diagnosis of lung nodules using images from the Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LID...

Pulmonary Nodule Detection Model Based on SVM and CT Image Feature-Level Fusion with Rough Sets.

BioMed research international
In order to improve the detection accuracy of pulmonary nodules in CT image, considering two problems of pulmonary nodules detection model, including unreasonable feature structure and nontightness of feature representation, a pulmonary nodules detec...

Efficient Descriptor-Based Segmentation of Parotid Glands With Nonlocal Means.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: We introduce descriptor-based segmentation that extends existing patch-based methods by combining intensities, features, and location information. Since it is unclear which image features are best suited for patch selection, we perform a b...

Adapting content-based image retrieval techniques for the semantic annotation of medical images.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The automatic annotation of medical images is a prerequisite for building comprehensive semantic archives that can be used to enhance evidence-based diagnosis, physician education, and biomedical research. Annotation also has important applications i...

Abdominal multi-organ segmentation from CT images using conditional shape-location and unsupervised intensity priors.

Medical image analysis
This paper addresses the automated segmentation of multiple organs in upper abdominal computed tomography (CT) data. The aim of our study is to develop methods to effectively construct the conditional priors and use their prediction power for more ac...
