The field of medical imaging gains its importance with increase in the need of automated and efficient diagnosis in a short period of time. Other than that, medical image retrieval system is to provide a tool for radiologists to retrieve the images similar to query image in content. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that has played an important role in neuroscience research...
We present the first use of multi-region FDG-PET data for classification of subjects from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Image data were obtained from 69 healthy controls, 71 AD patients, and 147 patients with a baseline diagnosis of MCI. Anatomical segmentations were automatically generated in the native MRI-space of each subject, and the mean signal intensity per cubic millimetre...
A new procedure is proposed for the automated detection of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) lesions on T1-weighted MRIs using volume-based discriminative features. Statistical features are obtained from of a set of neighboring voxels without using any computation that requires hard labeling of grey matter and white matter tissues. The significance of the proposed features is quantitatively evaluated...
The degree of white matter (WM) myelination is rather inhomogeneous across the brain. As a consequence, white matter appears differently across the cortical lobes in MR images acquired during early postnatal development. At 1 year old specifically, the gray/white matter contrast of MR images in prefrontal and temporal lobes is limited and thus tissue segmentation results show commonly reduce accuracy...
In this paper, Probabilistic Neural Network with image and data processing techniques was employed to implement an automated brain tumor classification. The conventional method for medical resonance brain images classification and tumors detection is by human inspection. Operator-assisted classification methods are impractical for large amounts of data and are also non-reproducible. Medical Resonance...
Brain structural volumes can be used for automatically classifying subjects into categories like controls and patients. We aimed to automatically separate patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with and without hippocampal atrophy on MRI, pTLE and nTLE, from controls, and determine the epileptogenic side. In the proposed framework 83 brain structure volumes are identified using multi-atlas segmentation...
This paper presents a novel classification via aggregated regression algorithm - dubbed CAVIAR - and its application to the OASIS MRI brain image database. The CAVIAR algorithm simultaneously combines a set of weak learners based on the assumption that the weight combination for the final strong hypothesis in CAVIAR depends on both the weak learners and the training data. A regularization scheme using...
This article studies the possibility of detecting dementia in an early stage, using nonrigid registration of MR brain scans in combination with dissimilarity-based pattern recognition techniques. Instead of focussing on the shape of a single brain structure, we take into account the shape differences within the entire brain. Imaging data was obtained from a longitudinal, population based study of...
Magnetic resonance imaging is performed without ionizing radiation, however, the applied radio frequency power leads to heating, which is dependent on the body part being imaged. Determining the patient position in the scanner allows to better monitor the absorbed power and therefore optimize the image acquisition. Low-resolution images, acquired during the initial placement of the patient in the...
The magnetic resonance contrast of a neuroimaging data set has strong impact on the utility of the data in image analysis tasks, such as registration and segmentation. Lengthy acquisition times often prevent routine acquisition of multiple MR contrast images, and opportunities for detailed analysis using these data would seem to be irrevocably lost. This paper describes an example based approach which...
As medical imaging datasets continue to grow, interest in effective ways to analyze the statistical properties and data variability within those datasets has surged. Accurate analysis of the morphological statistical properties of a group of images has proven to be extremely important in medical imaging. This paper introduces Relational Statistical Deformation Models, or RSDMs, as a generic modeling...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), being noninvasive and having no radiation hazards, provides abundant tissue information and has become an efficient instrument for clinical diagnoses and research in recent years. When tissues are classified by means of MRI, the images are multi-spectral. Therefore, if only a single image with a certain spectrum is processed, the goal of tissue classification will...
The clinical interpretation of breast MRI remains largely subjective, and the reported findings qualitative. Although the sensitivity of the method for detecting breast cancer is high, its specificity is poor. Computerised interpretation offers the possibility of improving specificity through objective quantitative measurement. This paper reviews the plethora of such features that have been proposed...
Magnetic resonance image (MRI) has been widely used for clinical applications in recent years. With the ability of scanning the same section by multiple frequencies, MRI makes it possible to generate several images on the same section. Despite of accessible abundant information, MRI also makes it more difficult to judge the location of every tissue. MRI will complicate the judgment due to strong noise...
The objective of this paper is to establish an "averaged learning subspace method" (ALSM) applicable for classification of multi-spectral MR images. By using the ALSM to process the massive amounts of information in multi-spectral MR images, and classification tissues of brain. The classification result of each tissue has shown by binary image, respectively. The classification results would...
Advances in medical imaging techniques and devices has resulted in increased use of imaging in monitoring disease progression in patients. However, extracting decision-enabling information from the resulting longitudinal multi-modal image sets poses a challenge. Radiologists often have to manually identify and quantify certain regions of interest in the longitudinal image sets, which bear upon the...
The objective of this study is to investigate the use of pattern classification methods for distinguishing different types of brain tumors, such as primary gliomas from metastases, and also for grading of gliomas. A computer-assisted classification method combining conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and perfusion MRI is developed and used for differential diagnosis. The proposed scheme...
This paper presents a unified framework for automatic segmentation of intervertebral disks of scoliotic spines from different types of magnetic resonance (MR) image sequences. The method exploits a combination of statistical and spectral texture features to discriminate closed regions representing intervertebral disks from background in MR images of the spine. Specific texture features are evaluated...
In this paper we report our experience using different types of wavelets and different SVM kernel functions for classification of Magnetic Resonance Images to identify those showing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. We have developed a novel computational framework for extracting discriminative Gabor wavelet features from the images for classification using Support Vector Machines with various kernel...
