Computer-aided decision making systems can assist physicians in prompt and accurate treatment of the high-energy pelvic trauma injuries by rapidly analyzing patient data and generating recommendations based on a large database of prior cases. However, no current system incorporates information contained in medical images. This paper presents a method which combines demographic information, standard...
Traumatic pelvic injuries are complex and difficult to treat, due to the high risk of complications. Prompt and accurate medical treatment is therefore vital. Computer-aided decision-making systems can assist physicians in this task, but none of those proposed so far incorporate features extracted from medical images. The study in this paper uses demographic information, standard medical measurements,...
X-ray segmentation is a challenging problem, particularly when dealing with complex bone structures such as the human pelvis. However, initial diagnosis of traumatic pelvic injuries is typically made via x-ray images, due to low cost and lack of disruption to the patient. Diagnosis is a complex task, as fractures in different regions of the pelvis display different characteristics. An effective decision-making...
Traumatic pelvic injuries are often associated with severe, life-threatening hemorrhage, and immediate medical treatment is therefore vital. However, patient prognosis depends heavily on the type, location and severity of the bone fracture. Detecting these fractures can prove challenging for physicians due to the complexity of the pelvic bone structure, but is vital in identifying the most severe...
It is estimated that every year, 1.5 million people in the United States sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Over 50,000 of these patients will not survive, and many others will be left permanently disabled. TBI is known to be accompanied by an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP), as the presence of hematomas compresses the brain tissue. Severe ICP can be fatal, and so must be monitored. This...
