Liver vessel segmentation based on extreme learning machine.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
Liver-vessel segmentation plays an important role in vessel structure analysis for liver surgical planning. This paper presents a liver-vessel segmentation method based on extreme learning machine (ELM). Firstly, an anisotropic filter is used to remo...

3D Fast Automatic Segmentation of Kidney Based on Modified AAM and Random Forest.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In this paper, a fully automatic method is proposed to segment the kidney into multiple components: renal cortex, renal column, renal medulla and renal pelvis, in clinical 3D CT abdominal images. The proposed fast automatic segmentation method of kid...

Predicting High Imaging Utilization Based on Initial Radiology Reports: A Feasibility Study of Machine Learning.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Imaging utilization has significantly increased over the last two decades, and is only recently showing signs of moderating. To help healthcare providers identify patients at risk for high imaging utilization, we developed a...

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...

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 natural language processing pipeline for pairing measurements uniquely across free-text CT reports.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To standardize and objectivize treatment response assessment in oncology, guidelines have been proposed that are driven by radiological measurements, which are typically communicated in free-text reports defying automated processing. We st...

Evaluation of SR-DLR in low-dose abdominal CT: superior image quality and noise reduction.

Abdominal radiology (New York)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) in low-dose abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging compared with hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and conventional deep learning reconstructi...

Generalizability of AI-based image segmentation and centering estimation algorithm: a multi-region, multi-center, and multi-scanner study.

Radiation protection dosimetry
We created and validated an open-access AI algorithm (AIc) for assessing image segmentation and patient centering in a multi-body-region, multi-center, and multi-scanner study. Our study included 825 head, chest, and abdomen-pelvis CT from 275 patien...
