Projection-domain scatter correction for cone beam computed tomography using a residual convolutional neural network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Scatter is a major factor degrading the image quality of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Conventional scatter correction strategies require handcrafted analytical models with ad hoc assumptions, which often leads to less accurate scatt...

Machine learning algorithms for the detection of spurious white blood cell differentials due to erythrocyte lysis resistance.

Journal of clinical pathology
AIMS: Red blood cell (RBC) lysis resistance interferes with white blood cell (WBC) count and differential; still, its detection relies on the identification of an abnormal scattergram, and this is not clearly adverted by specific flags in the Beckman...

Machine learning-based in-line holographic sensing of unstained malaria-infected red blood cells.

Journal of biophotonics
Accurate and immediate diagnosis of malaria is important for medication of the infectious disease. Conventional methods for diagnosing malaria are time consuming and rely on the skill of experts. Therefore, an automatic and simple diagnostic modality...

A machine learning approach to the accurate prediction of monitor units for a compact proton machine.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Clinical treatment planning systems for proton therapy currently do not calculate monitor units (MUs) in passive scatter proton therapy due to the complexity of the beam delivery systems. Physical phantom measurements are commonly employed t...

A facile and sensitive peptide-modulating graphene oxide nanoribbon catalytic nanoplasmon analytical platform for human chorionic gonadotropin.

International journal of nanomedicine
The nanogold reaction between HAuCl and citrate is very slow, and the catalyst graphene oxide nanoribbon (GONR) enhanced the nanoreaction greatly to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that exhibited strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption (...

The potential of computer vision, optical backscattering parameters and artificial neural network modelling in monitoring the shrinkage of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) during drying.

Journal of the science of food and agriculture
BACKGROUND: Drying is a method used to preserve agricultural crops. During the drying of products with high moisture content, structural changes in shape, volume, area, density and porosity occur. These changes could affect the final quality of dried...

Characterization and prediction of the backscattered form function of an immersed cylindrical shell using hybrid fuzzy clustering and bio-inspired algorithms.

Ultrasonics
The acoustic scattering of a plane wave by an elastic cylindrical shell is studied. A new approach is developed to predict the form function of an immersed cylindrical shell of the radius ratio b/a ('b' is the inner radius and 'a' is the outer radius...

Robust phase-based texture descriptor for classification of breast ultrasound images.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Classification of breast ultrasound (BUS) images is an important step in the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for breast cancer. In this paper, a novel phase-based texture descriptor is proposed for efficient and robust classifiers t...

Prediction of the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy using computational intelligence.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are investigated to predict the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy. In the proposed models, the input parameters are field size (...
