SVM-Based CAC System for B-Mode Kidney Ultrasound Images.

Journal of digital imaging
The present study proposes a computer-aided classification (CAC) system for three kidney classes, viz. normal, medical renal disease (MRD) and cyst using B-mode ultrasound images. Thirty-five B-mode kidney ultrasound images consisting of 11 normal im...

Detection of elevated intracranial pressure in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using ultrasonography of optic nerve sheath diameter.

Journal of neurosurgical anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is becoming an increasingly frequent procedure. Pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg positioning associated with this surgery may increase patient's risk for elevated intracran...

SINGLE-ACCESS TRANSUMBILICAL LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDECTOMY USING CURVED REUSABLE INSTRUMENTS: AN INITIAL REPORT OF THREE CASES.

Khirurgiia
INTRODUCTION: The continuous evolution of laparoscopic surgery and the ambition of better cosmetic results raise the need for less invasive procedures. The umbilicus represents a natural scar and constitutes a well-healing site of access to the perit...

Breast tumor classification in ultrasound images using neural networks with improved generalization methods.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Mammography, scintimammography and ultrasound images have been used to increase the specificity of breast cancer image diagnosis. Concerning breast cancer image diagnosis with ultrasound, some results found in the literature show better performance o...

Hand-eye calibration of a robot--UltraSound probe system without any 3D localizers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
3D UltraSound (US) probes are used in clinical applications for their ease of use and ability to obtain intra-operative volumes. In surgical navigation applications a calibration step is needed to localize the probe in a general coordinate system. Th...

Classification of focal liver lesions on ultrasound images by extracting hybrid textural features and using an artificial neural network.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
This paper focuses on the improvement of the diagnostic accuracy of focal liver lesions by quantifying the key features of cysts, hemangiomas, and malignant lesions on ultrasound images. The focal liver lesions were divided into 29 cysts, 37 hemangio...

Content based image retrieval using local binary pattern operator and data mining techniques.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Content based image retrieval (CBIR) concerns the retrieval of similar images from image databases, using feature vectors extracted from images. These feature vectors globally define the visual content present in an image, defined by e.g., texture, c...
