Article
Comparing Different Classifiers for Automatic Age Estimation
(2004)We describe a quantitative evaluation of the performance of different classifiers in the task of automatic age estimation. In this context, we generate a statistical model of facial appearance, which is subsequently used ...

Article
Computer-aided detection of breast cancer nuclei
(1997)A computer-aided detection system for tissue cell nuclei in histological sections is introduced and validated as part of the Biopsy Analysis Support System (BASS). Cell nuclei are selectively stained with monoclonal ...

Article
Computer-aided diagnosis in hysteroscopic imaging
(2015)The paper presents the development of a computeraided diagnostic (CAD) system for the early detection of endometrial cancer. The proposed CAD system supports reproducibility through texture feature standardization, ...

Article
Effect of zooming on texture features of ultrasonic images
(2006)Background: Unstable carotid plaques on subjective, visual, assessment using B-mode ultrasound scanning appear as echolucent and heterogeneous. Although previous studies on computer assisted plaque characterisation have ...

Article
Exploitation of medical crisp database for fuzzy diagnostic decision support systems
(2015)There are several types of Diagnostic Decision Support Systems (DDSS) but all move towards a common direction: provide assistance to the doctors/clinicians to make the right diagnosis for a specific patient, minimizing as ...

Article
An integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque
(2007)In this paper, we propose and evaluate an integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic plaque in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery based on normalization, speckle reduction filtering, and four different ...

Article
An integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque ultrasound video
(2014)The robust border identification of atherosclerotic carotid plaque, the corresponding degree of stenosis of the common carotid artery (CCA), and also the characteristics of the arterial wall, including plaque size, ...

Article
Neural Network Models in EMG Diagnosis
(1995)In the past years, several computer-aided quantitative motor unit action potential (MUAP) techniques were reported. It is now possible to add to these techniques the capability of automated medical diagnosis so that all ...

Article
Texture-based classification of hysteroscopy images of the endometrium.
(2006)The objective of this study was to classify hysteroscopy images of the endometrium based on texture analysis for the early detection of gynaecological cancer. A total of 418 regions of interest (ROIs) were extracted (209 ...
