    Håvard Bjerkeseth Solvin1,2,5,*, Simone Goa Diab1,4, Ole Jakob Elle2,3, Henrik Holmstrøm1,4, Henrik Brun2,4,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 551-559, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.031537

    Abstract Background: The management of suspected critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) relies on timely echocardiographic diagnosis. The availability of experienced echocardiographers is limited or even non-existent in many hospitals with obstetric units. This study evaluates remote-mentored echocardiography performed by physicians without experience in imaging of congenital heart defects (CHD). Methods: The setup included a pediatric cardiologist in a separate room, guiding a physician without experience in echocardiographic imaging of CHD in the examination of a symptomatic newborn. This remote-mentoring pair was blinded to the diagnosis of the newborn and presented with a simplified patient history. The echocardiographic images were streamed to… More > Graphic Abstract

    Intelligent Networked Control of Vasoactive Drug Infusion for Patients with Uncertain Sensitivity

    Mohamed Esmail Karar1,2,*, Amged Sayed A. Mahmoud2,3

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.1, pp. 721-739, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039235

    Abstract Abnormal high blood pressure or hypertension is still the leading risk factor for death and disability worldwide. This paper presents a new intelligent networked control of medical drug infusion system to regulate the mean arterial blood pressure for hypertensive patients with different health status conditions. The infusion of vasoactive drugs to patients endures various issues, such as variation of sensitivity and noise, which require effective and powerful systems to ensure robustness and good performance. The developed intelligent networked system is composed of a hybrid control scheme of interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) logic and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. This networked IT2F… More >

    Robust Reversible Audio Watermarking Scheme for Telemedicine and Privacy Protection

    Xiaorui Zhang1,2,*, Xun Sun1, Xingming Sun1, Wei Sun3, Sunil Kumar Jha4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 3035-3050, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022304

    Abstract The leakage of medical audio data in telemedicine seriously violates the privacy of patients. In order to avoid the leakage of patient information in telemedicine, a two-stage reversible robust audio watermarking algorithm is proposed to protect medical audio data. The scheme decomposes the medical audio into two independent embedding domains, embeds the robust watermark and the reversible watermark into the two domains respectively. In order to ensure the audio quality, the Hurst exponent is used to find a suitable position for watermark embedding. Due to the independence of the two embedding domains, the embedding of the second-stage reversible watermark will… More >

    Developing Secure Healthcare Video Consultations for Corona Virus (COVID-19) Pandemic

    Mohammed A. AlZain1,*, Jehad F. Al-Amri1, Ahmed I. Sallam2, Emad Sami Jaha3, Sultan S. Alshamrani1, Hala S. El-Sayed4, Osama S. Faragallah1

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.31, No.3, pp. 1627-1640, 2022, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2022.020137

    Abstract Many health networks became increasingly interactive in implementing a consulting approach to telemedicine before the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate patient trafficking and reduce the virus exposure in health centers, several GPs, physicians and people in the video were consulted during the pandemic at the start. Video and smartphone consultations will allow well-insulated and high-risk medical practitioners to maintain their patient care security. Video appointments include diabetes, obesity, hypertension, stroke, mental health, chemotherapy and chronic pain. Many urgent diseases, including an emergency triage for the eye, may also be used for online consultations and triages. The COVID-19 pandemic shows that healthcare… More >

    Artifacts Reduction Using Multi-Scale Feature Attention Network in Compressed Medical Images

    Seonjae Kim, Dongsan Jun*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 3267-3279, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020651

    Abstract Medical image compression is one of the essential technologies to facilitate real-time medical data transmission in remote healthcare applications. In general, image compression can introduce undesired coding artifacts, such as blocking artifacts and ringing effects. In this paper, we proposed a Multi-Scale Feature Attention Network (MSFAN) with two essential parts, which are multi-scale feature extraction layers and feature attention layers to efficiently remove coding artifacts of compressed medical images. Multi-scale feature extraction layers have four Feature Extraction (FE) blocks. Each FE block consists of five convolution layers and one CA block for weighted skip connection. In order to optimize the… More >

    Secure Watermarking Scheme for Color DICOM Images in Telemedicine Applications

    Kamred Udham Singh1, Hatem Salem Abu-Hamatta2, Abhishek Kumar3, Achintya Singhal4, Mamoon Rashid5,*, A. K. Bashir6

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.70, No.2, pp. 2525-2542, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.019302

    Abstract Teleradiology plays a vital role in the medical field, which permits transmitting medical and imaging data over a communication network. It ensures data reliability and provides convenient communication for clinical interpretation and diagnostic purposes. The transmission of this medical data over a network raises the problems of legal, ethical issues, privacy, and copyright authenticity. The copyright protection of medical images is a significant issue in the medical field. Watermarking schemes are used to address these issues. A gray-level or binary image is used as a watermark frequently in color image watermarking schemes. In this paper, the authors propose a novel… More >

    Steganography-Based Transmission of Medical Images Over Unsecure Network for Telemedicine Applications

    Romany F. Mansour1,*, Moheb R. Girgis2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.68, No.3, pp. 4069-4085, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.017064

    Abstract Steganography is one of the best techniques to hide secret data. Several steganography methods are available that use an image as a cover object, which is called image steganography. In image steganography, the major features are the cover object quality and hiding data capacity. Due to poor image quality, attackers could easily hack the secret data. Therefore, the hidden data quantity should be improved, while keeping stego-image quality high. The main aim of this study is combining several steganography techniques, for secure transmission of data without leakage and unauthorized access. In this paper, a technique, which combines various steganography-based techniques,… More >
