Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the major health problems in modern times with a high mortality rate. While efforts are being made to make early diagnosis accessible and more reliable in high burden TB countries, digital chest radiography has become...
This study was performed to propose a method, the Feature Ambiguity Mitigate Operator (FAMO) model, to mitigate feature ambiguity in bone fracture detection on radiographs of various body parts. A total of 9040 radiographic studies were extracted. Th...
Accurate identification of the boundaries of organs or abnormal objects (e.g., tumors) in medical images is important in surgical planning and in the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based method to segme...
