With a worldwide prevalence of about 1%, epilepsy is one of the most common serious brain diseases with profound physical, psychological and, social consequences. Characteristic symptoms are seizures caused by abnormally synchronized neuronal activity ...
Interconnectivity analysis of supercritical CO2-foamed scaffolds
This paper describes a computer algorithm for the determination of the interconnectivity of the pore space inside scaffolds used for tissue engineering. To validate the algorithm and its computer implementation, the algorithm was applied to a computer-...
Automating the tracking of lymph nodes in follow-up studies of thoracic CT images
The study of lymph node features over time is of great clinical significance. Tracking of the same lymph node in CT images over time is done manually in the current clinical practice, which is tedious and lack of consistency. In this paper, we propose a ...
User-centered requirements engineering in health information systems
The use of sophisticated information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the health care domain is a way to improve the quality of services. However, there are also hazards associated with the introduction of ICTs in this domain and a great number ...
CUDA optimization strategies for compute- and memory-bound neuroimaging algorithms
As neuroimaging algorithms and technology continue to grow faster than CPU performance in complexity and image resolution, data-parallel computing methods will be increasingly important. The high performance, data-parallel architecture of modern ...
Image registration and atlas-based segmentation of cardiac outflow velocity profiles
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and for this reason computer-based diagnosis of cardiac diseases is a very important task. In this article, a method for segmentation of aortic outflow velocity profiles from cardiac Doppler ...
Supervised restoration of degraded medical images using multiple-point geostatistics
AbstractReducing noise in medical images has been an important issue of research and development for medical diagnosis, patient treatment, and validation of biomedical hypotheses. Noise inherently exists in medical and biological images due to the ...
Effect of missing RR-interval data on nonlinear heart rate variability analysis
The effects of missing RR-interval data on nonlinear heart rate variability (HRV) analysis were investigated using simulated missing data in actual RR-interval tachograms and actual missing RR-interval data. For the simulation study, randomly selected ...
SOA-based digital library services and composition in biomedical applications
Carefully collected, high-quality data are crucial in biomedical visualization, and it is important that the user community has ready access to both this data and the high-performance computing resources needed by the complex, computational algorithms ...
Mammogram retrieval on similar mass lesions
Enormous numbers of digital mammograms have been produced in hospitals and breast screening centers. To exploit those valuable resources in aiding diagnoses and research, content-based mammogram retrieval systems are required to effectively access the ...
A real time online assessment system with modelized architecture on clinical infometrics for patient reported outcomes of prostate cancer
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to establish a real time online health and decision support system with the novel information technology integrating modelized architecture and Web services for clinical infometrics on patient reported outcome (PRO) ...
Availability of a newly devised ambulatory urodynamics monitoring system based on personal device assistance in patients with spinal cord injury
Conventional urodynamics systems have been widely used for the assessment of bladder functions. However, they have some drawbacks due to the unfamiliar circumstances for the patient, restrictive position during the test, expense and immovability of the ...
A bootstrap approach for lower injury levels of the risk curves
Survival analysis is widely applied to develop injury risk curves from biomechanical data. To obtain more accurate estimation of confidence intervals of parameters, bootstrap method was evaluated by a designed simulation process. Four censoring schemes ...
An associative memory approach to medical decision support systems
AbstractClassification is one of the key issues in medical diagnosis. In this paper, a novel approach to perform pattern classification tasks is presented. This model is called Associative Memory based Classifier (AMBC). Throughout the experimental ...
Medical imaging correction
Contrast and brightness matching are often required in many medical imaging applications, especially when comparing medical data acquired over different time periods, due to dissimilarities in the acquisition process. Numerous methods have been proposed ...
Automated approaches for analysis of multimodal MRI acquisitions in a study of cognitive aging
In this work we describe an integrated and automated workflow for a comprehensive and robust analysis of multimodal MR images from a cohort of more than hundred subjects. Image examinations are done three years apart and consist of 3D high-resolution ...
