Variability of automated carotid intima-media thickness measurements by novice operators.

Clinical physiology and functional imaging
Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measurements provide a non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability of automated C-IMT measurements undertaken by two novic...

Trainable COSFIRE filters for vessel delineation with application to retinal images.

Medical image analysis
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive opportunity for the diagnosis of several medical pathologies. The automatic segmentation of the vessel tree is an important pre-processing step which facilitates subsequent automatic processes that contribute t...

Four-class classification of skin lesions with task decomposition strategy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper proposes a new computer-aided method for the skin lesion classification applicable to both melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs) and nonmelanocytic skin lesions (NoMSLs). The computer-aided skin lesion classification has drawn attention as an ai...

Feature selection in supervised saliency prediction.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
There is an increasing interest in learning mappings from features to saliency maps based on human fixation data on natural images. These models have achieved better results than most bottom-up (unsupervised) saliency models. However, they usually us...

Detection of temporal lobe epilepsy using support vector machines in multi-parametric quantitative MR imaging.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The detection of MRI abnormalities that can be associated to seizures in the study of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a challenging task. In many cases, patients with a record of epileptic activity do not present any discernible MRI findings. In this...

Computer-aided diagnosis of malignant mammograms using Zernike moments and SVM.

Journal of digital imaging
This work is directed toward the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect abnormalities or suspicious areas in digital mammograms and classify them as malignant or nonmalignant. Original mammogram is preprocessed to separate t...

Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle segmentation in 2D beam-steered ultrasound images. We used a statistical boosting approach to train a p...

A data-driven approach to prostate cancer detection from dynamic contrast enhanced MRI.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging, has shown great potential in prostate cancer diagnosis and staging. In the current practice of DCE-MRI, diagnosis is based on quantitative parameters extracted fr...

Machine learning-based augmented reality for improved surgical scene understanding.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
In orthopedic and trauma surgery, AR technology can support surgeons in the challenging task of understanding the spatial relationships between the anatomy, the implants and their tools. In this context, we propose a novel augmented visualization of ...
