A risk management model for familial breast cancer: A new application using Fuzzy Cognitive Map method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is the most deadly disease affecting women and thus it is natural for women aged 40-49 years (who have a family history of breast cancer or other related cancers) to assess their personal risk for developing familial breast cancer (FBC)...

Feature-based fuzzy connectedness segmentation of ultrasound images with an object completion step.

Medical image analysis
Medical ultrasound (US) image segmentation and quantification can be challenging due to signal dropouts, missing boundaries, and presence of speckle, which gives images of similar objects quite different appearance. Typically, purely intensity-based ...

Multi-channel EEG-based sleep stage classification with joint collaborative representation and multiple kernel learning.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) based sleep staging is commonly used in clinical routine. Feature extraction and representation plays a crucial role in EEG-based automatic classification of sleep stages. Sparse representation (SR) is a state...

Features identification for automatic burn classification.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
PURPOSE: In this paper an automatic system to diagnose burn depths based on colour digital photographs is presented.

Computational Discrimination of Breast Cancer for Korean Women Based on Epidemiologic Data Only.

Journal of Korean medical science
Breast cancer is the second leading cancer for Korean women and its incidence rate has been increasing annually. If early diagnosis were implemented with epidemiologic data, the women could easily assess breast cancer risk using internet. National Ca...

Automatic diagnosis of premature ventricular contraction based on Lyapunov exponents and LVQ neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a common type of abnormal heartbeat. Without early diagnosis and proper treatment, PVC may result in serious harms. Diagnosis of PVC is of great importance in goal-directed treatment and preoperation prognos...

Weighting training images by maximizing distribution similarity for supervised segmentation across scanners.

Medical image analysis
Many automatic segmentation methods are based on supervised machine learning. Such methods have proven to perform well, on the condition that they are trained on a sufficiently large manually labeled training set that is representative of the images ...

Machine learning algorithm accurately detects fMRI signature of vulnerability to major depression.

Psychiatry research
Standard functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analyses cannot assess the potential of a neuroimaging signature as a biomarker to predict individual vulnerability to major depression (MD). Here, we use machine learning for the first time to ad...

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...
