Recently, the deep learning method has been commonly used to achieve vessel segmentation, but it usually requires manual labels, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this work, we propose a fast vessel label extraction scheme, which can detect labels accurately and automatically. We first construct vesselness maps using the vessel structure features detected by the optimally oriented flux (OOF) filter. Then, we extracted the main vessel structure by the threshold approach. Thirdly, we utilize the local maximum method to detect the vessel skeleton that contains the entire vessel structures, especially the thin vessels. Besides, the existing topological enhancement methods do not consider the differences between thick and thin vessels, which may lead to poor extraction of thin vessels. Hence, we propose an adaptive topology-enhanced loss function to increase the different weights of thick and thin vessels. The correct topology of vessels is guaranteed, especially for thin vessels. The segmentation performance of the method is analyzed through extensive experiments. The results show that the method extracts excellent vessel labels, and the model trained with the automatically extracted labels is comparable to the supervised learning method.","PeriodicalId":131256,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123915207","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}

In order to ensure the effectiveness of FHSS communication under strong interference conditions, it is necessary to suppress the comb jamming effectively. The existing FHSS communication comb jamming suppression method has the disadvantage that its application is limited by the high sampling rate. The compressive sensing (CS) is applied to the suppression of comb jamming in FHSS communication in this study. According to the different sparse characteristics of FHSS signal and comb jamming in frequency domain, a block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL) based FHSS communication comb interference suppression model is constructed. To further improve the performance of the BSBL algorithm used in this model, a BSBL based algorithm, aid BSBL (ABSBL), is proposed exploiting the nature of comb jamming in the frequency domain, where the intra-correlation matrix is modeled as unit matrix. A comb jamming suppression algorithm for FHSS communications is designed based on ABSBL. The efficiency of comb jamming mitigation is improved while keeping the performance of comb jamming mitigation using the proposed algorithm. Besides, the performance of the algorithm does not rely on the block sparse structure information of the comb jamming. The simulation results show the performance of the proposed algorithm could suppress the comb jamming in FHSS communications effectively, and achieves better performance compared to other conventional algorithms.","PeriodicalId":131256,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124283204","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}

On the other hand, information entropy has been applied to determine whether certain biomedical signals represent pathological changes. In this study, Shannon entropy, sample entropy, and permutation entropy were derived from ECG and PPG signals collected through a wrist band wearable device, and were used to test whether the combination use of common features extracted from ECG and PPG, plus information entropies of ECG and PPG, may serve as effective features for blood pressure estimation when using machine learning-based linear regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), deep neural network (DNN), and XGBoost. Overall, the accuracy for blood pressure estimation was higher for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) than that for systolic blood pressure (SBP). The use of the entropies of ECG, PPG, or both, may increase the performance of BP estimation at an increase ranging from 3.3% to 10%. Accuracy of DBP estimation reached the highest when using entropies of ECG and PPG in either SVR or RF, with RF having a lower root-mean-square error (RMSE) compared with that for SVR. Likewise, SVR outperformed other models for the estimation of systolic blood pressure (SBP). The use of PPG entropy benefited the performance of LR, RF, and DNN in SBP estimation, which was better than when using entropies of ECG; for DNN, PPG entropy also brought about higher accuracy when it comes to the estimation of DBP. In conclusion, the use of entropies of ECG and PPG can improve the performance of blood pressure estimation, thus appears to be useful features in wearable devices that may facilitate blood pressure monitoring.","PeriodicalId":131256,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124995124","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}

Until now, a large part of the heritability of pain sensitivity remains unclear. This research focuses on exploring the genetic and neuroimage bases of pain sensitivity. A brain-wide genome-wide association study was carried out on 462 normal subjects, which were divided into high and low pain sensitivity groups according to the cold pain threshold from the cold pressor test. By using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), 116 brain structural features of grey matter (GM) densities were extracted based on high-resolution structural T1-weighted images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Afterward, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on each phenotype using quality-controlled genotype and analysis data including 755,875 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Hierarchical clustering and heat maps were used to demonstrate the GWAS results. Significant associations between SNPs and phenotypes were reported at the threshold ($p < 10^{-6}$). SNPs in the NECTIN1 gene were identified to be strongly associated with various of brain regions, such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and regions at basal ganglia. These results suggest that the imaging genetics study is able to to reveal possible candidate genes and loci that may be associated with pain sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":131256,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121942357","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}

There has great challenge for the understanding of AD functional and metabolic pathological changes. In this study, we aimed to study the relationship between functional connectivity and amyloid metabolic activity in the whole AD continuum. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging data were collected from the ADNI database, including 43 normal controls (NCs), 37 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 32 patients with AD. We calculated the functional and amyloid metabolic connectivity for each subject and group. To assess the relationship between the functional connectivity of specific region and amyloid regions, we used the general linear model (GLM) model to measure the association between region-to-region functional connectivity and amyloid PET metabolic connectivity, controlled with other variances (sex, age, education level). The results showed that the average amyloid uptake of AD patients was highest ($1.62pm 0.22, mathrm{P} < 0.001$) rather than other groups (MCI: $1.41pm 0.18$ and NC: $1.13+0.21$). The functional connectivity of default mode network showed that there was significant connectivity difference ($mathrm{P} < 0.001$), and the functional strength was decrease with disease severity. There was significant positive correlation between functional connectivity and amyloid metabolic connectivity in both NC group ($mathrm{r}=0.31, mathrm{P} < 0.001$), MCI group ($mathrm{r}=0.42, mathrm{P} < 0.001$), and AD group ($mathrm{r}=0.47, mathrm{P} < 0.001$). This study showed that the higher amyloid metabolic connectivity in AD continuum maybe related with a higher AD-related functional connectivity strength, which may indicate the co-pathology of functional activity and amyloid accumulation might be caused using similar mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":131256,"journal":{"name":"2021 14th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (CISP-BMEI)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116296675","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}
