Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with pediatric cases posing a major concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for chest X-rays (CXRs) for TB screening. However, visual interpretation by…

Tuberculosis (TB) is still recognized as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Recent advances in deep learning (DL) have shown to enhance radiologists' ability to interpret chest X-ray (CXR) images accurately and with fewer errors,…

The evaluation of infectious disease processes on radiologic images is an important and challenging task in medical image analysis. Pulmonary infections can often be best imaged and evaluated through computed tomography (CT) scans, which…

Raman spectroscopy, a photonic modality based on the inelastic backscattering of coherent light, is a valuable asset to the intraoperative sensing space, offering non-ionizing potential and highly-specific molecular fingerprint-like…

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and primarily affects the lungs, as well as other body parts. TB is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.…

The worldwide increase of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to human health. To avert the spread of AMR, fast reliable diagnostics tools that facilitate optimal antibiotic stewardship are an unmet need. In this regard,…

Regular tuberculosis (TB) screening is required for healthcare employees since they can come into contact with infected patients. TB is a serious, contagious, and potentially deadly disease. Early detection of the disease, even when it is…

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem, and is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease. A crucial step in the treatment of tuberculosis is screening high risk populations and the early detection of the disease, with…

We demonstrate novel instrumentation for spontaneous Raman spectroscopy in biofluids, enabling development of a portable, automated, reliable diagnostics technique requiring minimal operator expertise to quantify disease markers. Label-free…

We propose a learning method well-suited to infer the presence of Tuberculosis (TB) manifestations on Computer Tomography (CT) scans mimicking the radiologist reports. Latent features are extracted from the CT volumes employing the V-Net…

Background: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease presenting similar symptoms to pneumonia; therefore, differentiating between TB and pneumonia is challenging. Therefore, the main aim of this study is proposing…

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat, causing millions of deaths annually. Although early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the chances of survival, it remains a major challenge, especially in developing countries.…

Tuberculosis persists as a global health crisis, especially in resource-limited populations and remote regions, with more than 10 million individuals newly infected annually. It stands as a stark symbol of inequity in public health.…

Strabismus is one of the most influential ophthalmologic diseases in human's life. Timely detection of strabismus contributes to its prognosis and treatment. Telemedicine, which has great potential to alleviate the growing demand of the…

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems in Peru and the world. The development of this project seeks to facilitate and automate the diagnosis of tuberculosis…

Score-based algorithms for tuberculosis (TB) verbal screening perform poorly, causing misclassification that leads to missed cases and unnecessary costly laboratory tests for false positives. We compared score-based classification defined…

One of the most serious public health problems in Peru and worldwide is Tuberculosis (TB), which is produced by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The purpose of this work is to facilitate and automate the diagnosis of…

Background: This study proposes a Vision-Language Model (VLM) leveraging the SIGLIP encoder and Gemma-3b transformer decoder to enhance automated chronic tuberculosis (TB) screening. By integrating chest X-ray images with clinical data, the…

Raman spectroscopy's capability to provide meaningful composition predictions is heavily reliant on a pre-processing step to remove insignificant spectral variation. This is crucial in biofluid analysis. Widespread adoption of diagnostics…

We present a novel spectral machine learning (SML) method in screening for pancreatic mass using CT imaging. Our algorithm is trained with approximately 30,000 images from 250 patients (50 patients with normal pancreas and 200 patients with…
