The current study aims to evaluate the accuracy of CTCA compared to CCA as a gold standard to find an alternative method to CCA in diagnosing CAD. 65 patients with suspected coronary heart disease underwent CCA and CTCA procedures using 128-section computed tomography (MDCT). The CT images were analyzed by three consultant radiologists with more than 10 years of experience. CCA and CTCA reports were compared, and sensitivity, specificity, positive expected value (PPV) and negative expected value (NPV) were analyzed. These values were found for the 'per artery' and 'per patient' criteria. The results showed that the sensitivity, specificity of PPV, and NPV for accuracy measures of 'per patient' analyzes were 96.8%, 97%, 96.8%, and 97%, respectively. For left main coronary artery (LM), left anterior Descending (LAD), Circumflex artery (CX), and Right Coronary Artery (RCA), the results were 100%, 98.40%, 75%, 100%, 90.6%, 97%, 96.6 %, 91.4% and 61.1%, 100%, 100%, 87% and 73.70%, 97.8%, 93.3%, 90%, respectively with p<.001. The study concluded that it is possible to use MDCT as an alternative part of CCA, which can be used to reduce CCA pain, procedure time, and at a lower cost.","PeriodicalId":191094,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 5th International Conference on Digital Medicine and Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129798408","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}

Binary tomography aims to reconstruct binary images from their projections. Possible applications can be the field of human X-ray angiography, where the aim is to reconstruct images representing blood vessels or heart chambers, using X-ray tomography methods. Injecting a contrast agent with high linear attenuation coefficient into the part of the body being examined and seek for the presence or absence of the contrast agent in certain positions. Other common applications of this field are electron tomography and industrial non-destructive testing. To reconstruct a binary image from their projections, an improved algebraic approach is proposed in this paper. An energy-minimization reconstruction model is used; this model employs a loss function to be minimized. This loss function combines three features that can be extracted from the given projections. First, data fitting term based on the given projections; second, the first two image moments that are extracted from the given projections; and third, a term that enforces the binary solution. The first two terms are expressed in terms of a linear system and the third is expressed as anon linear cost function. The projected gradient descent algorithm is then employed for this minimization process. Experimental evaluations show that reasonable results can be obtained from minimal number of projections.","PeriodicalId":191094,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 5th International Conference on Digital Medicine and Image Processing","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114875229","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}

Noise elimination in ultrasound images in the pre-processing stage is an important step to make the image fit for the following steps involved in image segmentation. However, various noises produce a range of significant impacts on the quality of the image and thus tend to affect the interpretation of neural networks. In this study, 35 different image processing techniques, including denoising, feature descriptor, edge detection, miscellaneous, clustering, morphological, sharpening, and composite techniques were used to determine the most optimal ultrasound image in order to improve the segmentation of ultrasound images. The performance of image processing techniques was compared using a statistical parameter, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). All techniques were examined on deep learning segmentation approach. The segmentation performance was evaluated using mean intersection over union (mIoU) and mean pixel accuracy (mPA). The results showed that the composite image technique (FancyPCA + Bilateral + Gabor) slightly enhanced the segmentation performance, with the most ideal mIoU 0.96893%, mPA 0.97831%, and average PSNR 53.034 dB.","PeriodicalId":191094,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 5th International Conference on Digital Medicine and Image Processing","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116393959","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 disabled elderly who are in bed for a long time need long-term monitoring of physiological parameters because of the serious decline of physical function. At the same time, it is also necessary to monitor the surface contact pressure between patients and nursing beds to prevent pressure ulcers. In traditional systems, physiological and stress monitoring are kept separate and are expensive and difficult to operate. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time, visualization, and cloud-linked disabled elderly monitoring system based on WiFi technology. It can not only monitor physiological parameters in real-time but also monitor surface contact pressure. This system consists of four levels: (1) The sensor terminal nodes collect electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and collect interface pressure in real-time. (2) The network transport layer adopts WIFI (IEEE 802.11b) protocol. (3) The application layer designs a visual sever written by Qt software. (4) Cloud layer is deployed in the Ali-Cloud IoT server to connect to other cloud medical services. Six subjects took participated in the test and each subject was tested five times. The experimental results demonstrate that the system has a good performance to acquire data, visualize real-time, to connect clouds with a small delay.","PeriodicalId":191094,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 5th International Conference on Digital Medicine and Image Processing","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122648151","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}
