Banana and plantain (a type of cooking banana) are produced in 135 countries and territories, and rank among the world's most valuable primary agricultural commodities. Exported bananas, valued at over US$8.9 billion, are key contributors of foreign currency in several producing countries yet comprise less than 15% of the total annual output of 145 million tonnes (Mt). Much of the remaining harvest...
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) are strains of the bacterium S. aureus that are responsible for skin and soft tissue, blood, bone, and other infections that can be life threatening. CA-MRSA strains are resistant to standard antibiotics related to penicillins and have a high prevalence in the general community, as well as in healthcare facilities. CA-MRSA...
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is an important cause of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Small FCD lesions are difficult to distinguish from non-lesional cortex and remain often overlooked on radiological MRI inspection. This paper presents a method to detect small FCD lesions on Tl-MRI relying on surface-based features: cortical thickness, gradient magnitude at the white-matter / grey-matter interface,...
Automatic segmentation of the liver has the potential to assist in the diagnosis of disease, preparation for organ transplantation, and possibly assist in treatment planning. This paper presents initial results from work that extends on previous two-dimensional (2D) segmentation methods by implementing full three-dimensional (3D) liver segmentation, using a self-reparameterising discrete deformable...
