Skin disorders, a prevalent cause of illnesses, may be identified by studying their physical structure and history of the condition. Currently, skin diseases are diagnosed using invasive procedures such as clinical examination and histology. The examinations are quite effective and beneficial. This paper describes an evolutionary model for skin disease classification and detection based on machine...
The use of computer-assisted decision system (CAD) for the diagnosis of skin cancer dermoscopy is aggravated by the potential gains of its excellent performance. It automates the skin lesion analysis and reduces the amount of repetitive and tedious tasks to be done by physicians. This research is mainly focused on the computer vision perspective to design a CAD system which will facilitate the physicians...
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...
We present a saliency-enhanced method for the classification of professional photos and snapshots. First, we extract the salient regions from an image by utilizing a visual saliency model. We assume that the salient regions contain the photo subject. Then, in addition to a set of discriminative global image features, we extract a set of salient features that characterize the subject and depict the...
It is estimated that a quarter of a million people in the USA are living with kidney cancer. In clinical practice, the response to treatment is monitored by manual measurements of tumor size, which are time consuming and show high intra- and inter-operator variability. We propose a computer-assisted radiology tool to assess renal tumors in contrast-enhanced CT for the management of tumor diagnoses...
Delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) can be used to identify myocardial infarct (MI). Classification of MI into the infarct core and heterogeneous periphery (called the gray zone) on conventional inversion-recovery gradient echo (IR-GRE) DE-MRI images has been related to inducibility for ventricular tachycardia. However, this classification is sensitive to image noise, depends on the signal intensity...
In this paper we present a high accuracy computer-aided diagnosis scheme. The goal of the developed system is to classify benign and malignant microcalcifications on mammograms. It is mainly based on a combination of wavelet decomposition, feature extraction and classification methodology using Fisherpsilas linear discriminant. The contribution of wavelet decomposition is to denoise and to enhance...
We present a mammographic computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system, which uses an adaptive level set segmentation method (ALSSM), which segments suspicious masses in the polar domain and adaptively adjusts the border threshold at each angle to provide high-quality segmentation results. The primary contribution of this paper is the adaptive speed function for controlling level set segmentation. To assess...
