We present a bag-of-feature and sparse learning based framework to automatically recognize pathological myopia in retinal fundus images and discover the most related visual features corresponding to the retinal changes in pathological myopia. In the learning phase, the codebook for the bag-of-feature model and the classification model are first learnt, and the top related visual features are discovered via sparse learning concurrently. In the testing phase, for a given retinal fundus image, local features are first extracted and then quantized with the learned codebook to obtain the global feature. Finally, the classification model is used to determine the presence of pathological myopia. Our results on a population based study dataset of 2258 images achieve a 0.964 ± 0.007 AUC value and 90.6±1.0% balanced accuracy at a 85.0% specificity. The results are promising for further development and validation of this framework.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129655626","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}

Due to this distributed nature of immuno-pathology and associated PET uptake, intensity based methods are much better suited over region based methods for segmentation. The most commonly used intensity based segmentation is thresholding, but it has a major drawback of a lack of consensus on the selection of the thresholding value. We propose a method to select an optimal thresholding value by utilizing a novel similarity metric between the data points along the gray-level histogram of the image then using Affinity Propagation (AP) to cluster the intensities based on this metric. This method is tested against the PET images of rabbits infected with tuberculosis with distributed uptakes with promising results.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129921279","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 this work, we used the traveling wave approximation model to describe the evolution of the visible boundary of the tumor modeled by the FK equation to investigate the impact of replacing the patient DTI by (i) an isotropic diffusion map or (ii) an anisotropic high-resolution DTI atlas formed by averaging DTIs of multiple patients.

Automatic segmentation of vocal tract shape in MRI is a challenging task due to the dynamic nature of articulation, the variability in the shape introduced by different sounds or different speakers' articulatory configurations, and the connectivity of vocal tract airway to other channels of air such as the nasal tract. A new approach for the automatic segmentation of the vocal tract shape in dynamic MR images is proposed. A method of automatic landmark tagging by recursive boundary subdivision (RBS) is applied to obtain the corresponding sets of landmarks on the vocal tract contours. The oriented active shape model (OASM) technique is adopted to recognise and delineate the shape of the vocal tract in standardised MR images. The results are presented and evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. We demonstrate that this is a promising approach for automatic segmentation of large databases of vocal tract images for the purposes of speech production studies.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114739122","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 contrary, magnetic resonance (MR) images offer the possibility to better delineate both the tumor and healthy prostate tissues. Because CT is still used during the planning, MRICT image registration is an essential step to improve the targeting. In this paper, we propose a new framework to propagate the MRI prostate delineation to the CT-scan based on a robust contour matching approach. Prostate boundaries in CT are characterized with several multi-scale features and detected with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. A new cost function for aligning the MRI delineation to the detected contours was developed. We evaluated the proposed approach on 11 manually aligned and delineated MR and CT images. The method outperformed the widely used mutual information (MI) and demonstrated the drawbacks of this metric for this application.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"333 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115980678","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}

As a common practice, all existing IECG problems are solved on anatomically-detailed heart and torso models derived from tomographic images of individual subjects. This practice constitutes a major obstacle to clinical translation of IECG methods, imposing high demands on the quality and processing of medical images. Because anatomical modeling is always associated with variations due to different factors such as image quality and segmentation methods, we design a novel and systematic approach to statistically quantify the impact of ventricular shape variations on the diagnostic accuracy of IECG methods. We propose a novel use of statistical shape modeling to account for the variations in subject-specific anatomical modeling, and from it to generate ventricular models with controlled variations, whose relation to the variations of IECG outputs are then statistically assessed. In this study, we test the feasibility of the proposed approach considering two existing IECG methods for epicardial potential reconstruction and transmural action potential imaging. Both phantom and real-data experiments report statistical equivalency of IECG diagnostic accuracy on ventricular models with local variations. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed approach to be generalized to establish the proper level of anatomical details needed in ventricular modeling, which has the potential to change the common practice and facilitate the clinical translation of IECG research.","PeriodicalId":178011,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134250973","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}
