A novel method of diagnosing premature ventricular contraction based on sparse auto-encoder and softmax regression.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is one of the most serious arrhythmias. Without early diagnosis and proper treatment, PVC can result in significant complications. In this paper, a novel feature extraction method based on a sparse auto-encoder...

Automatic segmentation in image stacks based on multi-constraint level-set evolution.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Contour extraction of image stacks is a basic task in medical modeling. The existing level-set methods usually suffer from some problems (e.g. serious errors around sharp features, incorrect split of topology and contour occlusions). This paper propo...

Image manifold revealing for breast lesion segmentation in DCE-MRI.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely used for breast lesion differentiation. Manual segmentation in DCE-MRI is difficult and open to viewer interpretation. In this paper, an automatic segmentation method based on i...

Automatic brain MR image denoising based on texture feature-based artificial neural networks.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Noise is one of the main sources of quality deterioration not only for visual inspection but also in computerized processing in brain magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis such as tissue classification, segmentation and registration. Accordingly, no...

Identification of Conversion from Normal Elderly Cognition to Alzheimer's Disease using Multimodal Support Vector Machine.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most serious progressive neurodegenerative diseases among the elderly, therefore the identification of conversion to AD at the earlier stage has become a crucial issue. In this study, we applied multimodal suppo...

A Comparative Study of Bayes Net, Naive Bayes and Averaged One-Dependence Estimators for Osteoporosis Analysis.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents an evaluation of the accuracy of the Bayesian classifiers: Bayes Net, Naive Bayes and Averaged One-Dependence Estimator, to support diagnoses of osteopenia and osteoporosis. All classifiers showed good results, thus, given data, i...

Automated Classification of Pathology Reports.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This work develops an automated classifier of pathology reports which infers the topography and the morphology classes of a tumor using codes from the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O). Data from 94,980 patients of the A.C...

Rule-based Cervical Spine Defect Classification Using Medical Narratives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Classifying the defects occurring at the cervical spine provides the basis for surgical treatment planning and therapy recommendation. This process requires evidence from patient records. Further, the degree of a defect needs to be encoded in a stand...

Follow-up Recommendation Detection on Radiology Reports with Incidental Pulmonary Nodules.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The management of follow-up recommendations is fundamental for the appropriate care of patients with incidental pulmonary findings. The lack of communication of these important findings can result in important actionable information being lost in hea...
