In this paper, a novel biometric modality is proposed based on the seismocardiogram (SCG). The SCG represents the mechanical activities generated by the heart, as measured using accelerometer sensors, and has been found to be an important biomarker for cardiac diseases. This paper explores the biometric potential of the SCG. To this end, an SCG-biometric verification system is designed, focusing mainly...
The planning of radiotherapy is increasingly based on multi-modal imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT), since PET/CT provides not only anatomical but also functional assessment of the tumor. In this work, we propose a novel co-segmentation method, utilizing both the PET and CT images, to localize the tumor. The method constructs the segmentation problem...
The problem of cell counting is of tremendous importance in many clinical laboratory and pathology testing procedures, where an accurate cell count is vital for various diagnostic objectives, such as classifying disease developments and assessing drug effectiveness. Unfortunately, even today, this task remains mostly a manual endeavor, and depends on time-consuming human labor. Automated cell counting...
The seismocardiogram (SCG) measures the acceleration generated by the mechanical contraction and relaxation activities of the heart. It has been demonstrated to facilitate accurate identification of various coronary artery diseases. However, applications involving SCG are severely hampered by the large amount of data to be processed, preventing real-time monitoring and detection of diseases. This...
