Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the major health issues among the elderly population. MRI is the most popular technology to observe and evaluate the progress of OA course. However, the extreme labor cost of MRI analysis makes the process…
Diabetes is considered a lifestyle disease and a well managed self-care plays an important role in the treatment. Clinicians often conduct surveys to understand the self-care behaviors in their patients. In this context, we propose to use…
Texture is one of the most important properties of visual surface that helps in discriminating one object from another or an object from background. The self-organizing map (SOM) is an excellent tool in exploratory phase of data mining. It…
Osteoporosis, a prevalent condition among the aging population worldwide, is characterized by diminished bone mass and altered bone structure, increasing susceptibility to fractures. It poses a significant and growing global public health…
Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) are promising tools for the (early) diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These non-invasive imaging techniques are cost-effective and more…
Recent advancements in computer vision promise to automate medical image analysis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that would profit from computer-based diagnosis, as there are no direct markers known, and doctors have to rely…
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease affecting over 250 million people worldwide. Currently, radiologists grade the severity of OA on an ordinal scale from zero to four using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) system. Recent studies…
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a destructive joint disease identified by joint stiffness, pain, and functional disability concerning millions of lives across the globe. It is generally assessed by evaluating physical symptoms, medical history,…
We present a fully automated learning-based approach for segmenting knee cartilage in the presence of osteoarthritis (OA). The algorithm employs a hierarchical set of two random forest classifiers. The first is a neighborhood approximation…
Purpose: To organize a knee MRI segmentation challenge for characterizing the semantic and clinical efficacy of automatic segmentation methods relevant for monitoring osteoarthritis progression. Methods: A dataset partition consisting of 3D…
Osteoporosis, characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and compromised bone microstructure, increases fracture risk in aging populations. While dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the clinical standard for BMD assessment,…
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is very common progressive and degenerative musculoskeletal disease worldwide creates a heavy burden on patients with reduced quality of life and also on society due to financial impact. Therefore, any attempt to…
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) caused by diabetes occurs as a result of changes in the retinal vessels and causes visual impairment. Microaneurysms (MAs) are the early clinical signs of DR, whose timely diagnosis can help detecting DR in the…
The development and progression of arthritis is strongly associated with osteophytes, which are small and elusive bone growths. This paper presents one of the first efforts towards automated spinal osteophyte detection in spinal X-rays. A…
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) affects more than 600 million individuals globally and is associated with significant pain, functional impairment, and disability. While personalized multidisciplinary interventions have the potential to slow…
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the highest disability factors in the world. This musculoskeletal disorder is assessed from clinical symptoms, and typically confirmed via radiographic assessment. This visual assessment done by a…
Osteoporosis is a common disease that increases fracture risk. Hip fractures, especially in elderly people, lead to increased morbidity, decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Being a silent disease before fracture, osteoporosis…
The assessment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severity on knee X-rays is a central criteria for the use of total knee arthroplasty. However, this assessment suffers from imprecise standards and a remarkably high inter-reader variability. An…
Currently, a large number of stored tissue samples are unavailable for spectroscopic study without the time consuming and destructive process of paraffin removal. Instead, a structurally sensitive technique, sum frequency generation, and a…
The quality of datasets plays a crucial role in the successful training and deployment of deep learning models. Especially in the medical field, where system performance may impact the health of patients, clean datasets are a safety…
