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...

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 ...
