Adaptive emergency scenery video communications using HEVC for responsive decision support in disaster incidents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
This study proposes a unifying framework for m-Health video communication systems that provides for the joint optimization of video quality, bitrate demands, and encoding time. The framework is video modality and infrastructure ...
Atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video encoding, wireless transmission, and quality assessment using H.264
(2011)
We propose a unifying framework for efficient encoding, transmission, and quality assessment of atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video. The approach is based on a spatially varying encoding scheme, where video-slice ...
A fully automated method using active contours for the evaluation of the intima-media thickness in carotid US images.
(2011)
The thickness of the intima-media complex (IMC) of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall is important in the evaluation of the risk for the development of atherosclerosis. This paper presents a fully automated algorithm for ...
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 ...
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 ...
Texture-based classification of atherosclerotic carotid plaques
(2003)
There are indications that the morphology of atherosclerotic carotid plaques, obtained by high-resolution ultrasound imaging, has prognostic implications. The objective of this study was to develop a computer-aided system ...
Unsupervided pattern recognition for the classification of EMG signals
(1999)
The shapes and firing rates of motor unit action potentials (MUAP's) in an electromyographic (EMG) signal provide an important source of information for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. In order to extract this ...
Multiscale amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation (AMFM) texture analysis of multiple sclerosis in brain MRI images
(2011)
This study introduces the use of multiscale amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) texture analysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) using magnetic resonance (MR) images from brain. Clinically, there is interest in ...
Comparative evaluation of despeckle filtering in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery
(2005)
It is well-known that speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades the visual evaluation in ultrasound imaging. The recent advancements in ultrasound instrumentation and portable ultrasound devices necessitate the need ...
