However, this technique is currently limited by the need for commercial software packages that require manual input to create finite element (FE) models from computed tomography (CT) scans. The purpose of this study was to develop automated image analysis algorithms that can create subject-specific models from CT scans without a human in the loop. Two competing techniques were developed and tested on an imaging dataset consisting of 26 intact and 44 osteotomized ovine tibiae. In both techniques, the raw image was cropped to an efficient bounding box, downsampled, segmented by an element-formation threshold, and cleaned up for efficient FE analysis using voxel-based meshes. The key difference between contour-free (CFT) and snake-reliant (SRT) techniques was threshold- and contour-based segmentation of images, respectively, before bounding box detection. The contours were detected using a snake that balanced desired aspects of the contours through energy minimization. Virtual torsion tests were performed and the results were validated by comparison to ground-truth experimental data. The CFT and SRT models produced nearly identical predictions of virtual torsional rigidity and both methods reliably replicated the physical tests. Models generated by SRT were faster to solve, but model preparation and solution combined was faster by CFT. Automatic digital twin creation by CFT is therefore recommended except where other downstream analyses require systematic spatial data sampling of the bone, which is only achieved by SRT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10578,"journal":{"name":"Computers in biology and medicine","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 110268"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143899809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the biometric signals collected, ECG (electrocardiogram) stands out given its critical role in healthcare, particularly for the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated that ECG contains traits to distinctively identify a person. As a result, the need for anonymization methods is becoming increasingly crucial to protect personal privacy while ensuring the integrity of health data for effective clinical utility. Although many anonymization methods have been proposed in the literature, there has been limited exploration into their ability to preserve data integrity while complying with stringent data protection regulations. More specifically, the utility of anonymized signal and the privacy level achieved often present a trade-off that has not been thoroughly addressed. This paper analyzes the trade-off between balancing privacy protection with the preservation of health data integrity in ECG signals focusing on memory-efficient anonymization techniques that are suitable for real-time or streaming applications and do not require heavy memory computation. Moreover, we introduce an analytical framework to evaluate the privacy preservation methods alongside health integrity, incorporating state-of-the-art disease and person identifiers. We also propose a novel metric that assists users in selecting an anonymization method based on their desired trade-off between health insights and privacy protection. The experimental results demonstrate the impact of the de-identification techniques on critical downstream tasks, such as Arrhythmia detection and Myocardial Infarction detection along with identification performance, while statistical analysis reveals the biometric nature of ECG signals. The findings highlight the limitations of using such anonymization methods and models, emphasizing the need for approaches that maintain the clinical relevance of ECG data in real-time and streaming applications, particularly in memory-constrained environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10578,"journal":{"name":"Computers in biology and medicine","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 110234"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we proposed an improved plankton classification model that is more accurate and interpretable. We train two models, InceptionResNetV2 (transfer learning) and DeepPlanktonNet (from scratch), on the WHOI dataset. We utilize feature fusion to supplement feature representation, merging the outputs of both models.

Additionally, we also employ Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) to make the model more interpretable and gain insights into how the model makes decisions. Additionally, feature selection using WOA reduces feature space and has less inference and computational cost. Our method achieves a classification accuracy of 98.79 %, which is better than previous state-of-the-art methods. For robustness testing, we train nine machine learning classifiers on the optimized features.
