Pulmonary Image Segmentation And Registration Algorithms: Towards Regional Evaluation Of Obstructive Lung Disease, Fumin Guo
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Pulmonary imaging, including pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), provides a way to sensitively and regionally measure spatially heterogeneous lung structural-functional abnormalities. These unique imaging biomarkers offer the potential for better understanding pulmonary disease mechanisms, monitoring disease progression and response to therapy, and developing novel treatments for improved patient care. To generate these regional lung structure-function measurements and enable broad clinical applications of quantitative pulmonary MRI and CT biomarkers, as a first step, accurate, reproducible and rapid lung segmentation and registration methods are required. In this regard, we first developed a 1H MRI lung segmentation algorithm that …
Automated Quantification Of White Blood Cells In Light Microscopic Images Of Injured Skeletal Muscle, Yang Jiao
Automated Quantification Of White Blood Cells In Light Microscopic Images Of Injured Skeletal Muscle, Yang Jiao
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Muscle regeneration process tracking and analysis aim to monitor the injured muscle tissue section over time and analyze the muscle healing procedure. In this procedure, as one of the most diverse cell types observed, white blood cells (WBCs) exhibit dynamic cellular response and undergo multiple protein expression changes. The characteristics, amount, location, and distribution compose the action of cells which may change over time. Their actions and relationships over the whole healing procedure can be analyzed by processing the microscopic images taken at different time points after injury. The previous studies of muscle regeneration usually employ manual approach or basic …
Basic Science To Clinical Research: Segmentation Of Ultrasound And Modelling In Clinical Informatics, Ali K. Hamou
Basic Science To Clinical Research: Segmentation Of Ultrasound And Modelling In Clinical Informatics, Ali K. Hamou
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The world of basic science is a world of minutia; it boils down to improving even a fraction of a percent over the baseline standard. It is a domain of peer reviewed fractions of seconds and the world of squeezing every last ounce of efficiency from a processor, a storage medium, or an algorithm. The field of health data is based on extracting knowledge from segments of data that may improve some clinical process or practice guideline to improve the time and quality of care. Clinical informatics and knowledge translation provide this information in order to reveal insights to …
A New Segmentation Method Of Cerebral Mri Images Based On The Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm, Mohamed Zaki Abderrezak, Mouatez Billah Chibane, Karim Mansour
A New Segmentation Method Of Cerebral Mri Images Based On The Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm, Mohamed Zaki Abderrezak, Mouatez Billah Chibane, Karim Mansour
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The aim of this work is to present a new method for cerebral MRI image segmentation based on modification of the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm. We used local and nonlocal information distance in the initial function of the robust FCM model. The obtained results of the classification of MRI images showed the effectiveness of the suggested model. Calculation of the similarity index confirms that our method is well adapted to MRI images even in the presence of noise.
Pixel- Versus Object-Based Classification Of Forest And Agricultural Areas From Multiresolution Satellite Images, Di̇jle Boyaci, Mustafa Erdoğan, Ferruh Yildiz
Pixel- Versus Object-Based Classification Of Forest And Agricultural Areas From Multiresolution Satellite Images, Di̇jle Boyaci, Mustafa Erdoğan, Ferruh Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Managing of natural resources including agriculture and forestry is a very important subject for governments and decision makers. Up-to-date, accurate, and timely geospatial information about natural resources is needed in the management process. Remote sensing technology plays a significant role in the production of this geospatial information. Compared to terrestrial work, the analysis of larger areas with remote sensing techniques can be done on a shorter timescale and at lower cost. Image classification in remote sensing is one of the most popular methods used for the detection of forest and agricultural areas. However, the accuracy of classification changes according to …
Universal And Stable Medical Image Generation For Tissue Segmentation (The Unistable Method), Ihab Elaff, Ali El-Kemany, Mohammed Kholif
Universal And Stable Medical Image Generation For Tissue Segmentation (The Unistable Method), Ihab Elaff, Ali El-Kemany, Mohammed Kholif
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Segmentation of medical images has been one of the most important research areas because of its impact in modeling and diagnosing the structure and the functions of various organs. The lack of unique solution for the segmentation problem of medical images is caused by the wide range of selections among different medical imaging modalities and clustering methods where each setting has its own estimates for solving this problem. The unistable method is a novel method that generates enhanced images with high contrast, which can reduce boundary overlap between different tissues. This is accomplished by fusion of different clustering maps, which …
Multiphase Segmentation Based On New Signed Pressure Force Functions And One Level Set Function, Haider Ali, Noor Badshah, Ke Chen, Gulzar Ali Khan, Nosheen Zikria
Multiphase Segmentation Based On New Signed Pressure Force Functions And One Level Set Function, Haider Ali, Noor Badshah, Ke Chen, Gulzar Ali Khan, Nosheen Zikria
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper we propose a new model to detect multiple objects of various intensities in images having maximum, minimum, or middle-intensity background by evolving only one level set function. In this model, a new signed pressure force function based on novel generalized averages is used for segmentation of images with maximum or minimum intensity background. For images with middle-intensity backgrounds, which are indeed challenging for 2-phase models, we propose a new product generalized signed pressure force function. Finally, to give experimental and qualitative evidence, our model is tested on both synthetic and real images with the Jaccard similarity index. …
