Classification of Spectroscopic Images in the DIROlab Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) analysis functionality of DIROlab, an integrated software platform for cancer diagnosis and therapy planning. Completely automated estimation of cancer probability from the spectral signature is achieved by state-of-theart statistical classification techniques; furthermore an easyto-use interface for spectrum labeling, classifier retraining and evaluation and the benchmarking and comparison of several alternative algorithms is currently under development. The effectiveness of this approach is exemplarily demonstrated by detecting adenocarcinoma in 1.5 Tesla MRSI measurements of the prostate. Keywords—Magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, computer-assisted diagnostics, statistical classification, prostate adenocarcinoma, DIROlab.

Automated classification of pulmonary nodules through a retrospective analysis of conventional CT and two-phase PET images in patients undergoing biopsy
Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...
متن کاملModified CLPSO-based fuzzy classification System: Color Image Segmentation
Fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. In this paper, a modified method based on the Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) is proposed for pixel classification in HSI color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

متن کاملEvaluating the effect of using different reference spectra on SAM classification results: an implication for hydrothermal alteration mapping
This research was performed with the objective of evaluating the accuracy of spectral angle mapper (SAM) classification using different reference spectra. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) digital images were applied in the SAM classification in order to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks in the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA), Iran...
