However, current image viewing systems do not record it in a format that permits machine interpretation. The ePAD tool can generate machine-computable image annotations on 2D images as part of a radiologist's routine workflow. The tool has been evaluated in image studies with good results. Since ePAD currently only provides 2D visualization and annotation of images, we developed a plugin to ePAD for the visualization of volumetric image datasets, using the three planes: axial, frontal and sagittal. A study with 6 radiologists was carried out to determine the best interface for also marking 3D ROIs. Video prototypes were created for 3 options: join pixels based on intensity similarity, detect borders around image features, and paint ROIs using a spheric 3D cursor. The 3D cursor was the preferred option. We present these results and also show the final 3D cursor implementation.","PeriodicalId":164356,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 28th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131198815","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 combination of these two contexts creates a new term called mobile health, which has motivated much discussion of how greater access to mobile phone technology can be leveraged to mitigate the numerous pressures faced in the medical care of health systems.

The Discrete Conditional Phase-type (DC-Ph) model consists of two components, the conditional component measuring the inter-relationships between covariates and the survival component which models the survival distribution using a Coxian phase-type distribution. This paper expands the DC-Ph models by introducing a support vector machine (SVM), in the role of the conditional component. The SVM is capable of classifying multiple outcomes and is used to identify the infant's risk of developing ROP. Class imbalance makes predicting rare events difficult. A new class decomposition technique, which deals with the problem of multiclass imbalance, is introduced. Based on the SVM classification, the length of stay in the neonatal ward is modelled using a 5, 8 or 9 phase Coxian distribution.","PeriodicalId":164356,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 28th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117314321","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 then applies a line vectorization process that connects prominent broken lines along the subpanel boundaries while eliminating insignificant line segments within the subpanels. We have validated our fully automatic technique on a subset of stitched multipanel biomedical figures extracted from articles within the Open Access subset of PubMed Central repository, and have achieved precision and recall of 81.22% and 85.08%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":164356,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 28th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130484552","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 dataset is part of a joint research project that aims at extracting both visual and signal-based information from healthy and PD patients in order to go forward the early diagnosis of PD patients.

Wavelets possess the ability to unveil location-specific features within signals but there exists no principled method to choose the optimal scales and time shifts. We present a scalable, robust system to find the best wavelet parameters using Gaussian processes (GPs). We demonstrate our system by assessing wavelets as predictors for the occurrence of acute hypotensive episodes (AHEs) using over 1 billion blood pressure beats. We obtain an AUROC of 0.79 with wavelet features only, and the false positive rate when the true positive rate is fixed at 0.90 is reduced by 14% when the wavelet feature is used in conjunction with other statistical features. Furthermore, the use of GPs reduces the selection effort by a factor of 3 compared with a naive grid search.","PeriodicalId":164356,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 28th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134179669","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}
