Implementing Machine Learning in Radiology Practice and Research.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this article are to describe concepts that radiologists should understand to evaluate machine learning projects, including common algorithms, supervised as opposed to unsupervised techniques, statistical pitfalls, and data ...

Exploring temporal information in neonatal seizures using a dynamic time warping based SVM kernel.

Computers in biology and medicine
Seizure events in newborns change in frequency, morphology, and propagation. This contextual information is explored at the classifier level in the proposed patient-independent neonatal seizure detection system. The system is based on the combination...

EXiO-A Brain-Controlled Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rhesus Macaques.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Recent advances in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated enormous potential to shape the future of rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Here, a lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by the intracortical activity of an awake beh...

Automated seizure detection using limited-channel EEG and non-linear dimension reduction.

Computers in biology and medicine
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an essential component in evaluation of epilepsy. However, full-channel EEG signals recorded from 18 to 23 electrodes on the scalp is neither wearable nor computationally effective. This paper presents advantages of bo...

Deep ensemble learning of sparse regression models for brain disease diagnosis.

Medical image analysis
Recent studies on brain imaging analysis witnessed the core roles of machine learning techniques in computer-assisted intervention for brain disease diagnosis. Of various machine-learning techniques, sparse regression models have proved their effecti...

Gap-free segmentation of vascular networks with automatic image processing pipeline.

Computers in biology and medicine
Current image processing techniques capture large vessels reliably but often fail to preserve connectivity in bifurcations and small vessels. Imaging artifacts and noise can create gaps and discontinuity of intensity that hinders segmentation of vasc...

Disease-free survival assessment by artificial neural networks for hepatocellular carcinoma patients after radiofrequency ablation.

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides an effective treatment for patients who exhibit early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stages or are waiting for liver transplantation. It is important to assess patients after RFA. The goal of...

Design and Characterization of an Exoskeleton for Perturbing the Knee During Gait.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: An improved understanding of mechanical impedance modulation in human joints would provide insights about the neuromechanics underlying functional movements. Experimental estimation of impedance requires specialized tools with highly repro...

Control and Evaluation of a Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis for Stair Ascent.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper assesses the metabolic effort exerted by three transfemoral amputees, when using a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for stair ascent, relative to ascending stairs with passive knee and ankle prostheses. The paper describes a controller th...

Automatic detection and measurement of nuchal translucency.

Computers in biology and medicine
In this paper we propose a new methodology to support the physician both to identify automatically the nuchal region and to obtain a correct thickness measurement of the nuchal translucency. The thickness of the nuchal translucency is one of the main...
