EVOLVING BRAIN LESION: CAAN'T MAKE A DIAGNOSIS

Asymptomatic, evolving lesion on the upper arm.

1. Breast lesion diagnosis

We have developed a family of quantitative descriptors in order to provide noninvasive, reliable means of distinguishing benign from malignant breast lesions. These include acoustic descriptors (“echogenicity,” “heterogeneity,” “shadowing”) and morphometric descriptors (“area,” “aspect ratio,” “border irregularity,” “margin definition”). These quantitative descriptors are designed to be indepen...

Correlation between Brain Lesion Site and Fluent/Non-Fluent Aphasia

 Background and purpose: Aphasia is the most common communication disorder resulting from stroke. In this condition all modalities of language, including reading, writing, auditory perception, and oral speech may be affected. Aphasia is divided into two categories: fluent (Wernicke's aphasia, Transcortical sensory aphasia, conduction aphasia, and anomic aphasia) and non-fluent (Broca's aphasia,...

A hierarchical Convolutional Neural Network for Segmentation of Stroke Lesion in 3D Brain MRI

Introduction: Brain tumors such as glioma are among the most aggressive lesions, which result in a very short life expectancy in patients. Image segmentation is highly essential in medical image analysis with applications, particularly in clinical practices to treat brain tumors. Accurate segmentation of magnetic resonance data is crucial for diagnostic purposes, planning surgical treatments, a...
