Knowledge Based Framework For Localization Of Retinal Landmarks From Diabetic Retinopathy DR Images

Diabetes Is A Disease Which Occurs When The Pancreas Does Not Secrete Enough Insulin Or The Body Is Unable To Process It Properly. The Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Is A Complication Of Diabetes That Is Caused By Changes In The Blood Vessels Of Retina. The Symptoms Can Distort Or Blur The Patient’s Vision And Are The Main Causes Of Blindness. One Of The Difficulties In This Illness Is That The Patient With Diabetes Mellitus Requires A Continuous Screening For Early Detection. We Propose An Algorithm For The Detection Of Retinal Landmarks (optic Nerve Head Or Optic Disc, Macula, And Vasculature) Based On Optic Cup Location And Anatomical Structural Details From Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Images Of Both Left And Right Eye. Our Algorithm Uses Color Fundus Images Obtained From Mydriatic Camera. This System Intends To Help The Ophthalmologists Not Only In DR Screening Process But Any Other Eye Related Abnormality Which Is Based On Retinal Photography.

Computer-Aided Diagnosis Of Depression Using EEG Signals

Depression Is An Important Type Of Mood Disorder With Prominent, Prolonged, And Depressed Moods As The Main Clinical Features. Depression Has Become A Serious Disease That Affects People’s Mental Health. How To Detect It Promptly And Accurately Is A Difficult Task. Electroencephalogram Can Reflect The Spontaneous Biological Potential Signals In The Cerebral Cortex And Is Widely Used In The Prediction And Diagnosis Of Depression. With Electroencephalogram, The Key And Most Difficult Challenge Is To Find The Brain Regions And Frequencies Associated With Depression. The Linear And Nonlinear Methods Are Effective In Identifying The Changes In EEG Signals For The Detection Of Depression. Linear Methods Do Not Exhibit The Complex Dynamical Variations In The EEG Signals. Hence, Chaos Theory And Nonlinear Dynamic Methods Are Widely Used In Extracting The EEG Signal Features For Computer-aided Diagnosis (CAD) Of Depression.

MTEMO - A Multilevel Thresholding Algorithm Using Electromagnetism Optimization

Image Processing Has Several Applications In Areas Such As Medicine, Industry, Agriculture, Etc. Most Of The Methods Of Image Processing Require A First Step Called Segmentation. Segmentation Is One Of The Most Important Tasks In Image Processing. It Consists Of Classifying The Pixels Into Two Or More Groups Depending On Their Intensity Levels And A Threshold Value. The Quality Of The Segmentation Depends On The Method Applied To Select The Threshold. When The Image Is Segmented Into Two Classes, The Task Is Called Bi-level Thresholding (BT) And It Requires Only One Th Value. On The Other Hand, When Pixels Are Separated Into More Than Two Classes, The Task Is Named As Multilevel Thresholding (MT) And Demands More Than One Th Value. The Use Of The Classical Implementations For Multilevel Thresholding Is Computationally Expensive Since They Exhaustively Search The Best Values To Optimize The Objective Function. Under Such Conditions, The Use Of Optimization Evolutionary Approaches Has Been Extended. The Electromagnetism-like Algorithm (EMO) Is An Evolutionary Method Which Mimics The Attraction–repulsion Mechanism Among Charges To Evolve The Members Of A Population. Different To Other Algorithms, EMO Exhibits Interesting Search Capabilities Whereas Maintains A Low Computational Overhead. In This Paper, A Multilevel Thresholding (MT) Algorithm Based On The EMO Is Introduced

Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis System

Diabetes Is A Disease Which Occurs When The Pancreas Does Not Secrete Enough Insulin Or The Body Is Unable To Process It Properly. The Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Is A Complication Of Diabetes That Is Caused By Changes In The Blood Vessels Of Retina. The Symptoms Can Distort Or Blur The Patient’s Vision And Are The Main Causes Of Blindness. One Of The Difficulties In This Illness Is That The Patient With Diabetes Mellitus Requires A Continuous Screening For Early Detection. So Far, Numerous Methods Have Been Proposed By Researchers To Automate The Detection Process Of DR In Retinal Fungus Images. In This Paper, We Developed An Alternative Simple Approach To Detect DR. This Method Will Built On The Inverse Segmentation. Background Image Approach Along With Inverse Segmentation Will Be Employed To Measure And Follow Up The Degenerations In Retinal Fundus Images.

Intelligent Brain Hemorrhage Diagnosis Using Artificial Neural Networks

Brain Hemorrhage Is A Type Of Stroke Which Is Caused By An Artery In The Brain Bursting And Causing Bleeding In The Surrounded Tissues. Diagnosing Brain Hemorrhage, Which Is Mainly Through The Examination Of A CT Scan Enables The Accurate Prediction Of Disease And The Extraction Of Reliable And Robust Measurement For Patients In Order To Describe The Morphological Changes In The Brain As The Recovery Progresses. Though A Lot Of Research On Medical Image Processing Has Been Done, Still There Is Opportunity For Further Research In The Area Of Brain Hemorrhage Diagnosis Due To The Low Accuracy Level In The Current Methods And Algorithms, Coding Complexity Of The Developed Approaches, Impracticability In The Real Environment, And Lack Of Other Enhancements Which May Make The System More Interactive And Useful. This Proposed Method Investigates The Possibility Of Diagnosing Brain Hemorrhage Using An Image Segmentation Of CT Scan Images Using Watershed Method And Feeding Of The Appropriate Inputs Extracted From The Brain CT Image To An Artificial Neural Network For Classification.
