The rapid increase of PD will place a substantial burden on individuals, society, and health systems. In recent years, a series of works have been published on the use of mobile devices, equipped with sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers to diagnosis and monitor PD outpatients . In this work, the influence of a series of factors on the diagnosis of Parkinson disease were evaluated, using walking activity data obtained from an mPower study. Through constructing several databases, the following factors were evaluated: dependent individual and independent individual approach, input record size, interleaved and non-interleaved data. In addition to these factors, the effect of the complexity of the CNN network on its performance was also evaluated. Databases with large records provided models with better performance in PD diagnosis than databases with small records. CNN's complexity also had a great impact on PD diagnosis performance. In this work, the best results achieved for the independent individual approach and for the dependent individual approach were an AUCROC of 0.511 and 0.861, respectively.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115820238","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 principal objective is to protect the patient’s information using imperceptible watermarking and preserve its diagnosis. Thus, the watermark imperceptibility is achieved using the high-order Steered Hermite coefficients, whereas the SVD decomposition and the JS ensure the watermark against attacks. We use the medicine symbol Caduceus as a watermark. The metrics employed to evaluate the algorithm’s performance are the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), the Mean Structural Similarity Index (MSSIM), and the Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC). The evaluation metrics over the watermarked image show that it does not suffer quantitative and qualitative changes, and the extracted watermark was recovered successfully with high PSNR values. In addition, several watermark extraction tests were performed against geometric and common processing attacks. These tests show that the proposed algorithm is robust under critical conditions of attacks, for example, against nonlinear smoothing (median filter), high noise addition (Gaussian and Salt & Pepper noise), high compression rates (JPEG compression), rotation between 0 to 180 degree, and translations up to 100 pixels.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122201936","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 system is based on a graphical user interface, which records the three video cameras, the ultrasound image and the accelerometer simultaneously. The interface was developed according to the Volume Sweep Imaging acquisition protocol. The translational and rotational movement of the transducer are tracked and monitored by the accelerometer and the position of the transducer is obtained from the images acquired by the three video cameras.

Under this context, we developed and evaluated the first predictive model of diabetes risk that combines both electrocardiography (ECG) and exposome predictors. A comprehensive list of ECG signals and exposome variables were extracted from the UK Biobank, then used to build and compare a set of machine learning models for diabetes risk prediction. Random Forest combining ECGs and exposome variables achieved an 0.82 ± 0.03 AUC when predicting diabetes risk. This integrative model outperformed separate models based on exposome factors or ECG signals alone. These preliminary results indicate the potential of low-cost machine learning models trained from ECG and exposome data to predict diabetes years before its onset.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127685977","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}

Although these methods have provided much information about muscle activation and function during voice production, they are invasive, uncomfortable, and subjective. The objective of this work is to explore the use of the high-density electromyography (HDsEMG) as a non-invasive alternative that can potentially provide objective information on the activity of the laryngeal muscles during speech. with a focus on the cricothyroid muscle (CT). From this set of signals, it is possible to decompose the electromyography signal, providing indirect information on the spatial recruitment and firing rates of motor units (MU) within the muscle. It is hypothesized that the use of MU firing rate and recruitment will allow for a better estimation of muscle activation compared to traditional methods. A high-density wireless HDsEMG equipment (Sessantaquattro, OT Bioelettronica) is used with a 64-channel electrode grid, which are centered on the CT muscle. Preliminary results of a case study illustrated that it was possible to obtain the rates and firing trains of 4 motor units.

A preliminary sub-parcellation is performed using intra-subject and inter-subject fiber clustering to obtain representative bundles among subjects with similar shapes and trajectories. The sub-parcellation is obtained by intersecting fiber clusters with cortical meshes. Next, mean connectivity and mean overlap matrices are computed over the sub-parcels to obtain spatial and connectivity information. To hierarchize the information, we propose to weight both matrices, to obtain an affinity graph, and then a dendrogram to merge or divide parcels by their hierarchy. Finally, to obtain homogeneous parcels, the method computes morphological operations. By selecting a different number of clusters over the dendrogram, the method obtains a different number of parcels and a variation in the resulting parcel sizes, depending on the parameters used. We computed the coefficient of variation (CV ) of the parcel size to evaluate the homogeneity of the parcels. Preliminary results suggest that the use of representative clusters and the integration of sub-parcel overlap and connectivity strength provide useful information to generate cortical parcellations at different levels of granularity. Even results are preliminary, this novel method allows researchers to add group-wise connectivity strength and spatial information for the construction of diffusion-based parcellations. Future work will include a detailed analysis of parameters, such as the matrix weights and the number of sub-parcel clusters, and the generation of hierarchical parcellations to improve the insight into the cortex subdivision and hierarchy among parcels.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131468984","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}

It is a tedious process that requires substantial guidance from experienced physicians. Adipose tissue labeling on CT scans is particularly time-consuming because adipose tissue is present throughout the entire body. One possible solution is to create inaccurate annotations from conventional (non-deep learning) adipose tissue segmentation methods. This work demonstrates the development of a deep learning model directly from these inaccurate annotations. The model is a multi-scale 3D residual U-Net where the encoder path is composed of residual blocks and the decoder path fuses multi-scale feature maps from different layers of decoder blocks. The training set consisted of 101 patients and the testing set consisted of 14 patients. Ten patients with anasarca were purposely added to the testing dataset as a stress test to evaluate model generality. Anasarca is a medical condition that leads to the generalized accumulation of edema within subcutaneous adipose tissue. Edema creates heterogeneity inside the adipose tissue which is absent in the training data. In comparison with a baseline method of manual annotations, the Dice coefficient improved significantly from 73.4 ± 14.1% to 80.2 ± 7.1% (p < 0.05). The model trained on inaccurate annotations improved the accuracy of adipose tissue segmentation by 7% without the need for any manual annotation.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133282965","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}

Teleultrasound monitoring is a service that has been useful for lung, thyroid or liver monitoring. In particular, one of the most promising protocols to attend this type of monitoring is sending asynchronous acquired ultrasound videos following the volume sweep imaging protocol; however, one of the main limitations is the poor internet bandwidth that does not allow sending files with a large amount of information. For this reason, in this work, it was proposed to send a single image that includes all the information of the acquisition using panoramic reconstruction of the ultrasound video. To perform the experiments, an ultrasound phantom was used with the commercially available ultrasound scanner with a linear transducer at different acquisition depths of 2.5, 3.7, 4.9, 6.1 and 7.4 cm. For the reconstructions, three phases were used detection of the acquisition moment, by means of optical flow; image processing for the selection of the region of interest and intensity adjustment; and panoramic reconstruction determining the displacement between frames. It was observed that this was successful for the deeper and higher contrast acquisitions.","PeriodicalId":147201,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132120898","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}
