Breast cancer detection and classification in digital mammography based on Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Super Resolution.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is one of the most perilous diseases among women. Breast screening is a method of detecting breast cancer at a very early stage which can reduce the mortality rate. Mammography is a standard method for the early diagnosis of breast canc...

Myocardial perfusion analysis in cardiac computed tomography angiographic images at rest.

Medical image analysis
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a non-invasive method for anatomic evaluation of coronary artery stenoses. However, CTA is prone to artifacts that reduce the diagnostic accuracy to identify stenoses. Further, CTA does not allow for d...

Efficient multi-atlas abdominal segmentation on clinically acquired CT with SIMPLE context learning.

Medical image analysis
Abdominal segmentation on clinically acquired computed tomography (CT) has been a challenging problem given the inter-subject variance of human abdomens and complex 3-D relationships among organs. Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) provides a potentially...

A hybrid method for airway segmentation and automated measurement of bronchial wall thickness on CT.

Medical image analysis
Inflammatory and infectious lung diseases commonly involve bronchial airway structures and morphology, and these abnormalities are often analyzed non-invasively through high resolution computed tomography (CT) scans. Assessing airway wall surfaces an...

Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble for lung image classification.

Medical image analysis
In this paper, we propose a new Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble (LSRE) model, to classify high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Medical images normally exhibit large intra-clas...

Multi-scale textural feature extraction and particle swarm optimization based model selection for false positive reduction in mammography.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The high number of false positives and the resulting number of avoidable breast biopsies are the major problems faced by current mammography Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems. False positive reduction is not only a requirement for mass but also ...

2D-3D radiograph to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration for C-arm image-guided robotic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: C-arm radiographs are commonly used for intraoperative image guidance in surgical interventions. Fluoroscopy is a cost-effective real-time modality, although image quality can vary greatly depending on the target anatomy. Cone-beam computed ...

Computer-aided diagnosis of malignant mammograms using Zernike moments and SVM.

Journal of digital imaging
This work is directed toward the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect abnormalities or suspicious areas in digital mammograms and classify them as malignant or nonmalignant. Original mammogram is preprocessed to separate t...

PIAA: Pre-imaging all-round assistant for digital radiography.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: In radiography procedures, radiographers' suboptimal positioning and exposure parameter settings may necessitate image retakes, subjecting patients to unnecessary ionizing radiation exposure. Reducing retakes is crucial to minimize patien...
