Machine-learning strategies for testing patterns of morphological variation in small samples: sexual dimorphism in gray wolf (Canis lupus) crania.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Studies of mammalian sexual dimorphism have traditionally involved the measurement of selected dimensions of particular skeletal elements and use of single data-analysis procedures. Consequently, such studies have been limited by a variet...

On the use of machine learning algorithms in forensic anthropology.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)
The classification performance of the statistical methods binary logistic regression (BLR), multinomial and penalized multinomial logistic regression (MLR, pMLR), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and the machine learning algorithms naïve Bayes cla...

Data mining for sex estimation based on cranial measurements.

Forensic science international
The aim of the present study is to develop effective and understandable classification models for sex estimation and to identify the most dimorphic linear measurements in adult crania by means of data mining techniques. Furthermore, machine learning ...

Skull shape reconstruction using cascaded convolutional networks.

Computers in biology and medicine
Designing a cranial implant to restore the protective and aesthetic function of the patient's skull is a challenging process that requires a substantial amount of manual work, even for an experienced clinician. While computer-assisted approaches with...

Dosimetry-Driven Quality Measure of Brain Pseudo Computed Tomography Generated From Deep Learning for MRI-Only Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate the impact of key parameters on the pseudo computed tomography (pCT) quality generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a 3-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network.

Birds have peramorphic skulls, too: anatomical network analyses reveal oppositional heterochronies in avian skull evolution.

Communications biology
In contrast to the vast majority of reptiles, the skulls of adult crown birds are characterized by a high degree of integration due to bone fusion, e.g., an ontogenetic event generating a net reduction in the number of bones. To understand this proce...

Learning-based local-to-global landmark annotation for automatic 3D cephalometry.

Physics in medicine and biology
The annotation of three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric landmarks in 3D computerized tomography (CT) has become an essential part of cephalometric analysis, which is used for diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. The automation of 3D...

A novel transcranial ultrasound imaging method with diverging wave transmission and deep learning approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Real time brain transcranial ultrasound imaging is extremely intriguing because of its numerous applications. However, the skull causes phase distortion and amplitude attenuation of ultrasound signals due to its density: the speed of sound is signifi...

Sex estimation: a comparison of techniques based on binary logistic, probit and cumulative probit regression, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, neural networks, and naïve Bayes classification using ordinal variables.

International journal of legal medicine
The performance of seven classification methods, binary logistic (BLR), probit (PR) and cumulative probit (CPR) regression, linear (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) discriminant analysis, artificial neural networks (ANN), and naïve Bayes classification (NBC)...

One-Shot Generative Adversarial Learning for MRI Segmentation of Craniomaxillofacial Bony Structures.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Compared to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) delineation of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bony structures can avoid harmful radiation exposure. However, bony boundaries are blurry in MRI, and structural information needs to be b...
