Subject-specific trunk segmental masses prediction for musculoskeletal models using artificial neural networks
AbstractAccurate determination of body segment parameters is crucial for studying human movement and joint forces using musculoskeletal (MSK) models. However, existing methods for predicting segment mass have limited generalizability and sensitivity to body shapes. With recent advancements in machine learning, this study proposed a novel artificial neural network-based method for computing subject-specific trunk segment mass and center of mass (CoM) using only anthropometric measurements. We first developed, trained, and validated two artificial neural networks that used anthropometric measurements as input to predict body...

BraNet: a mobil application for breast image classification based on deep learning algorithms
This study aims to develop an open-source mobile app named “BraNet” for 2D breast imaging segmentation and classification using deep learning algorithms. During the phase off-line, an SNGAN model was previously trained for synthetic image generation, and subsequently, these images were used to pre-trained SAM and ResNet18 segmentation and classification models. During phase online, the BraNet app was developed using the react native framework, offering a modular deep-learning pipeline for mammography (DM) and ultrasound (US) breast imaging classification. This application operates on a client–server architecture and ...

Adversarial attacks and adversarial training for burn image segmentation based on deep learning
AbstractDeep learning has been widely applied in the fields of image classification and segmentation, while adversarial attacks can impact the model ’s results in image segmentation and classification. Especially in medical images, due to constraints from factors like shooting angles, environmental lighting, and diverse photography devices, medical images typically contain various forms of noise. In order to address the impact of these physica lly meaningful disturbances on existing deep learning models in the application of burn image segmentation, we simulate attack methods inspired by natural phenomena and propose an ...

Prediction of endovascular leaks after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair though machine learning applied to pre-procedural computed tomography angiographs
AbstractTo predict endoleaks after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) we submitted patient characteristics and vessel features observed on pre- operative computed tomography angiography (CTA) to machine-learning. We evaluated 1-year follow-up CT scans (arterial and delayed phases) in patients who underwent TEVAR for the presence or absence of an endoleak. We evaluated the effect of machine learning of the patient age, sex, weight, and height, plus 22 vascular features on the ability to predict post-TEVAR endoleaks. The extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for ML system was trained on 14 patients with- and 131 wit...

Parotid Gland Segmentation Using Purely Transformer-Based U-Shaped Network and Multimodal MRI
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 May 1. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03510-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParotid gland tumors account for approximately 2% to 10% of head and neck tumors. Segmentation of parotid glands and tumors on magnetic resonance images is essential in accurately diagnosing and selecting appropriate surgical plans. However, segmentation of parotid glands is particularly challenging due to their variable shape and low contrast with surrounding structures. Recently, deep learning has developed rapidly, and Transformer-based networks have performed well on many computer vision tasks. However, Transformer-based networks...

Efficient skin lesion segmentation with boundary distillation
AbstractMedical image segmentation models are commonly known for their complex structures, which often render them impractical for use on edge computing devices and compromising efficiency in the segmentation process. In light of this, the industry has proposed the adoption of knowledge distillation techniques. Nevertheless, the vast majority of existing knowledge distillation methods are focused on the classification tasks of skin diseases. Specifically, for the segmentation tasks of dermoscopy lesion images, these knowledge distillation methods fail to fully recognize the importance of features in the boundary regions of...
