A novel feature extraction technique for pulmonary sound analysis based on EMD.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The stethoscope based auscultation technique is a primary diagnostic tool for chest sound analysis. However, the performance of this method is limited due to its dependency on physicians experience, knowledge and also clarit...

Predicting Treatment Response to Intra-arterial Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with the Use of Supervised Machine Learning-An Artificial Intelligence Concept.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To use magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and clinical patient data to create an artificial intelligence (AI) framework for the prediction of therapeutic outcomes of transarterial chemoembolization by applying machine learning (ML) techniques.

Predicting urinary tract infections in the emergency department with machine learning.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common emergency department (ED) diagnosis with reported high diagnostic error rates. Because a urine culture, part of the gold standard for diagnosis of UTI, is usually not available for 24-48 hours aft...

Acral melanoma detection using a convolutional neural network for dermoscopy images.

PloS one
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Acral melanoma is the most common type of melanoma in Asians, and usually results in a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis. We applied a convolutional neural network to dermoscopy images of acral melanoma and benign nevi on the h...

Two-stage approach for risk estimation of fetal trisomy 21 and other aneuploidies using computational intelligence systems.

Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and other chromosomal abnormalities (OCA) at 11-13 weeks' gestation using computational intelligence classification methods.

Tissue classification and segmentation of pressure injuries using convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This paper presents a new approach for automatic tissue classification in pressure injuries. These wounds are localized skin damages which need frequent diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, a reliable and accurate systems fo...

Multi-channel multi-scale fully convolutional network for 3D perivascular spaces segmentation in 7T MR images.

Medical image analysis
Accurate segmentation of perivascular spaces (PVSs) is an important step for quantitative study of PVS morphology. However, since PVSs are the thin tubular structures with relatively low contrast and also the number of PVSs is often large, it is chal...

Automated Interpretation of Blood Culture Gram Stains by Use of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of clinical microbiology
Microscopic interpretation of stained smears is one of the most operator-dependent and time-intensive activities in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Here, we investigated application of an automated image acquisition and convolutional neural net...

Predicting treatment outcome of drug-susceptible tuberculosis patients using machine-learning models.

Informatics for health & social care
Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly contagious disease and a serious global health problem. It is curable but due to its lengthy treatment process, a patient is likely to leave the treatment incomplete, leading to a more lethal, drug resistant form of dise...

High efficiency classification of children with autism spectrum disorder.

PloS one
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a wide-ranging collection of developmental diseases with varying symptoms and degrees of disability. Currently, ASD is diagnosed mainly with psychometric tools, often unable to provide an early and reliable diagnosis...
