Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widespread condition that can cause chronic pain and stiffness in the knee joint. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for successful clinical intervention and management to prevent severe complications,…
The aim of this study is to use a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for phaseless imaging the human heel (modeled as a bilayer dielectric media: bone and surrounding tissue) and the calcaneus cross-section size and…
Accurate nuclei segmentation in histopathological images is crucial for cancer diagnosis. Automating this process offers valuable support to clinical experts, as manual annotation is time-consuming and prone to human errors. However,…
The ultrasound (US) screening of the infant hip is vital for the early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The US diagnosis of DDH refers to measuring alpha and beta angles that quantify hip joint development. These two…
Benefiting from its succinctness and robustness, skeleton-based action recognition has recently attracted much attention. Most existing methods utilize local networks (e.g., recurrent, convolutional, and graph convolutional networks) to…
Diagnosis based on medical images, such as X-ray images, often involves manual annotation of anatomical keypoints. However, this process involves significant human efforts and can thus be a bottleneck in the diagnostic process. To fully…
Reliable fall detection in elderly care requires monitoring systems that are not only accurate but also capable of producing stable, interpretable explanations of motion dynamics, a requirement that existing post hoc explainability methods…
Background: Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values and Total Diffusion Volume (TDV) from Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) are recognized cancer imaging biomarkers. However, manual disease delineation for ADC and TDV…
Legal age estimation plays a critical role in forensic and medico-legal contexts, where decisions must be supported by accurate, robust, and reproducible methods with explicit uncertainty quantification. While prior artificial intelligence…
Early and accurate prediction of overall survival (OS) time can help to obtain better treatment planning for brain tumor patients. Although many OS time prediction methods have been developed and obtain promising results, there are still…
