Automated detection of pulmonary nodules in PET/CT images: Ensemble false-positive reduction using a convolutional neural network technique.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Automated detection of solitary pulmonary nodules using positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) images shows good sensitivity; however, it is difficult to detect nodules in contact with normal organs, and additional e...

Evaluation of a Machine-Learning Classifier for Keratoconus Detection Based on Scheimpflug Tomography.

Cornea
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of a support vector machine algorithm that automatically and objectively identifies corneal patterns based on a combination of 22 parameters obtained from Pentacam measurements and to compare this method with othe...

Automatic Classification on Multi-Modal MRI Data for Diagnosis of the Postural Instability and Gait Difficulty Subtype of Parkinson's Disease.

Journal of Parkinson's disease
BACKGROUND: Patients with the postural instability and gait difficulty subtype (PIGD) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are a refractory challenge in clinical practice. Despite previous attempts that have been made at studying subtype-specific brain altera...

Fractal and twin SVM-based handgrip recognition for healthy subjects and trans-radial amputees using myoelectric signal.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Identifying functional handgrip patterns using surface electromygram (sEMG) signal recorded from amputee residual muscle is required for controlling the myoelectric prosthetic hand. In this study, we have computed the signal fractal dimension (FD) an...

Random forests in non-invasive sensorimotor rhythm brain-computer interfaces: a practical and convenient non-linear classifier.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
There is general agreement in the brain-computer interface (BCI) community that although non-linear classifiers can provide better results in some cases, linear classifiers are preferable. Particularly, as non-linear classifiers often involve a numbe...

Assessing the association between 25-OH vitamin D levels and ROMA score in a population of obese women.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
The “Risk of Malignancy Algorithm” (ROMA) combines the diagnostic power of the CA125 and HE4 markers with menopausal status to predict the risk for developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association betw...

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in diagnosing neonatal septicemia.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
Neonatal septicemia (NS) is a common cause of death of newborn infants, hence early diagnosis and treatment are of the utmost importance. However, lack of specific clinical symptoms and late detection delay a correct diagnosis. It is therefore of gre...

Classifying prostate cancer patients based on total prostate-specific antigen and free prostate-specific antigen features by support vector machine.

Journal of cancer research and therapeutics
AIMS OF STUDY: In this work, we enhanced the role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test by examining the relation between free PSA (fPSA) and total PSA (tPSA) value and other biological information such as age and volume of prostate. Our primary go...

Defining a Patient Population With Cirrhosis: An Automated Algorithm With Natural Language Processing.

Journal of clinical gastroenterology
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to use natural language processing (NLP) as a supplement to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and laboratory values in an automated algorithm to better define and risk-stratif...
