    Abstract Infection of leukemia in humans causes many complications in its later stages. It impairs bone marrow’s ability to produce blood. Morphological diagnosis of human blood cells is a well-known and well-proven technique for diagnosis in this case. The binary classification is employed to distinguish between normal and leukemia-infected cells. In addition, various subtypes of leukemia require different treatments. These sub-classes must also be detected to obtain an accurate diagnosis of the type of leukemia. This entails using multi-class classification to determine the leukemia subtype. This is usually done using a microscopic examination of these blood… More >

    Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is one of the noninvasive physiological measurement techniques commonly used in cardiac diagnosis. However, in real scenarios, the ECG signal is susceptible to various noise erosion, which affects the subsequent pathological analysis. Therefore, the effective removal of the noise from ECG signals has become a top priority in cardiac diagnostic research. Aiming at the problem of incomplete signal shape retention and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) after denoising, a novel ECG denoising network, named attention-based residual dense shrinkage network (ARDSN), is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the shallow ECG characteristics are extracted by More >

    Abstract In clinical practice, the microscopic examination of urine sediment is considered an important in vitro examination with many broad applications. Measuring the amount of each type of urine sediment allows for screening, diagnosis and evaluation of kidney and urinary tract disease, providing insight into the specific type and severity. However, manual urine sediment examination is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subjective. Traditional machine learning based object detection methods require hand-crafted features for localization and classification, which have poor generalization capabilities and are difficult to quickly and accurately detect the number of urine sediments. Deep learning based object detection… More >

    Abstract In recent years, the soft subspace clustering algorithm has shown good results for high-dimensional data, which can assign different weights to each cluster class and use weights to measure the contribution of each dimension in various features. The enhanced soft subspace clustering algorithm combines interclass separation and intraclass tightness information, which has strong results for image segmentation, but the clustering algorithm is vulnerable to noisy data and dependence on the initialized clustering center. However, the clustering algorithm is susceptible to the influence of noisy data and reliance on initialized clustering centers and falls into a… More >

    Peng Geng, Ji Lu, Ying Zhang, Simin Ma, Zhanzhong Tang, Jianhua Liu
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.2, pp. 2001-2023, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027127

    Abstract In medical image segmentation task, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are difficult to capture long-range dependencies, but transformers can model the long-range dependencies effectively. However, transformers have a flexible structure and seldom assume the structural bias of input data, so it is difficult for transformers to learn positional encoding of the medical images when using fewer images for training. To solve these problems, a dual branch structure is proposed. In one branch, Mix-Feed-Forward Network (Mix-FFN) and axial attention are adopted to capture long-range dependencies and keep the translation invariance of the model. Mix-FFN whose depth-wise convolutions… More >

    Abstract This paper presents a 6-layer customized convolutional neural network model (6L-CNN) to rapidly screen out patients with COVID-19 infection in chest CT images. This model can effectively detect whether the target CT image contains images of pneumonia lesions. In this method, 6L-CNN was trained as a binary classifier using the dataset containing CT images of the lung with and without pneumonia as a sample. The results show that the model improves the accuracy of screening out COVID-19 patients. Compared to other methods, the performance is better.

    Abstract As a mainstream research direction in the field of image segmentation, medical image segmentation plays a key role in the quantification of lesions, three-dimensional reconstruction, region of interest extraction and so on. Compared with natural images, medical images have a variety of modes. Besides, the emphasis of information which is conveyed by images of different modes is quite different. Because it is time-consuming and inefficient to manually segment medical images only by professional and experienced doctors. Therefore, large quantities of automated medical image segmentation methods have been developed. However, until now, researchers have not developed… More >

    Abstract With the development of urbanization, the problem of neurological diseases brought about by population aging has gradually become a social problem of worldwide concern. Aging leads to gradual degeneration of the central nervous system, shrinkage of brain tissue, and decline in physical function in many elderlies, making them susceptible to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), stroke, Parkinson’s and major depressive disorder (MDD). Due to the influence of these neurological diseases, the elderly have troubles such as memory loss, inability to move, falling, and getting lost, which seriously affect their quality of life.

    Abstract The structure and function of brain networks have been altered in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Manifold regularization (MR) only considers the pairing relationship between two brain regions and cannot represent functional interactions or higher-order relationships between multiple brain regions. To solve this issue, we developed a method to construct a dynamic brain functional network (DBFN) based on dynamic hypergraph MR (DHMR) and applied it to the classification of ESRD associated with mild cognitive impairment (ESRDaMCI). The construction of DBFN with Pearson’s correlation (PC) was transformed into an optimization model. Node convolution and hyperedge convolution… More >
