Effective treatment can be enhanced with the use of adjuvant visual biofeedback from surface electromyography (sEMG) to monitor muscle movement during intensive swallowing exercises. However, access to this therapy is currently possible only in a clinical setting, and is therefore restricted due to limited clinical capacity and technology costs. In this paper, we describe the concept for a new hardware-and-software mobile system for swallowing therapy: Mobili-T. The system, designed by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical engineers, clinicians, and industrial designers, will help patients with dysphagia go through their rehabilitation regimens at home.","PeriodicalId":398710,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130617440","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 first step produces the features vector of MR image using Gabor Filter for the data train and test, then as second step features vector of training data are indexed into CBIR module. The third step makes the training of SVM and as four step the test dataset is classified with the SVM trained. Finally, the result of classification are presented with a set of similar images product of a KNN query. This model was implemented as a software tool with graphical interface. We obtained 94.12% of correct classification. Our medical image dataset is composed of 187 MRI images collected from a medical diagnosis company and selected by medical specialist. The result shows that the proposed model is robust and effective as a software tool to aid support to medical diagnostic.","PeriodicalId":398710,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"236 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130921306","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}

These results will help us recreate plausible regulatory networks by using a probabilistic logical model. Hence, network hypotheses can be generated from existing gene expression data for use by experimental biologists.","PeriodicalId":398710,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132148150","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}

Thus, plenty of Content-Based Image Retrieval systems have emerged in order to index and retrieve images according to similarity criteria. Some of those systems are applied in very specific domains, such as mammography, lung or spine exams. Others, however, are general-purpose applications that can be adopted in a medical environment. In such context, we realized those specific systems could benefit from the facilities brought by generic frameworks and propose our solution. This article presents a novel information retrieval core framework that performs both indexing and similarity search operations over medical image data sets. The framework follows a modular architecture based on Design Patterns and can be easily extended, allowing to other system developers to take advantages of its functions by using the provided interfaces. We performed extensive experiments evaluating several of its properties and target abstractions using medical real data, and show that it allows the implementation to achieve proper similarity retrieval and significant performance improvements in relation to the existing alternatives.","PeriodicalId":398710,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134360811","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}
