These features indicated molecular-level information of tissue at different carcinoma development-level. This study suggested an automatic and quick method for the NPC Raman spectra classification at different stages by multivariate statistical analysis. In the RS measurement, high quality Raman spectra was acquired from each NPC tissue sample in two groups: one group consisted of 30 NPC patients at the early stages (I-II), another group was 46 NPC patients at the advanced stages (III-IV). Moreover, tentative diagnostic algorithms based on principle components analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) were employed to classify the multivariate data of Raman spectra effectively. The classification performance (sensitivities and specificities were 70% (21/30) and 91% (42/46)) was achieved by the PCA-SVM in conjunction with leave-one-out cross validation method. In this beneficial study, the RS technique in conjunction with PCA-SVM provided a great clinical potential for rapid NPC stage diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131693595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The real system is implemented in PCB, and the testing result is close to the simulations. We also compare the results obtained from the sweeping optimization method with the proposed PSO method for this design case.

The proposed method consists of four phases: First, dark holes and wrinkle edges of each frame were removed in preprocessing. Second, each frame was segmented into small patches by using super-pixel segmentation. A coarse bleeding region filter was adopted to remove noisy patches. Third, the red ratio feature and the a feature of the WCE images were extracted. Finally, the bleeding fragment was detected based on the temporal red ratio feature and the temporal a features fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good performance.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115265986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed segmentation scheme is based on joint histogram modelling followed by false positive reduction and alpha matting, which is used to deal with the tissue density overlap problem and partial volume effects in MR images. Firstly, the joint histogram is generated by using fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (Flair), T1-weighted (T1-w) and T2-weighted (T2-w) MRI. Then the region for MS lesions in the joint histogram are located. Sub-sequently, the located region is projected back into the 2D MR images with potential MS lesions. Secondly, priori information is utilized to remove false positive volume of interests. Finally, the partial volume effect is modelled by using an alpha technique provides region level lesion refinement. Validation is performed on real multi-channel T1-w, T2-w, and Flair MR volumes. The experimental results show the proposed method can obtain better results than some state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115747284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But most surgery simulators still suffer from stability and efficiency problems when simulating complex surgical procedures like cutting with respect to the graphical rendering. For naturalistic rendering, the response of soft tissue during the cutting operation should be cautiously verified, analyzed and simulated. In this paper, a novel hybrid rendering approach to tracheotomy simulation combining traditional mesh-based rendering with emerging point-based rendering is proposed, where mesh-based rendering algorithm is applied on the non-surgical area while point-based rendering algorithm is applied on the surgical area. Central to our method is different appropriate rendering methods applied to the two regions respectively, resulting in a contribution to the speed up of the calculation. The approach has been integrated into our virtual tracheotomy surgery training prototype system. The details and results of experiments indicate that our hybrid rendering approach is suitable in the design of surgical simulators. It can keep the visual reality while significantly increasing the efficiency and stability for simulation of soft-tissue's cutting.","PeriodicalId":119361,"journal":{"name":"2015 8th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123778822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
