In this paper, we present a data augmentation method that generates synthetic medical images using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We propose a training scheme that first uses classical data augmentation to enlarge the training set and then further enlarges the data size and its diversity by applying GAN techniques for synthetic data augmentation. Our method is demonstrated on a limited...

The Hill-Sachs lesion is an osseous defect of the humeral head that is typically associated with anterior shoulder instability. The incidence of these lesions in the setting of glenohumeral instability is relatively high and approaches 100% in persons with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Reverse Hill-Sachs lesion has been described in patients with posterior shoulder instability. Gleno...

Brain lesions, especially White Matter Lesions (WMLs), are associated with cardiac and vascular disease, but also with normal aging. Quantitative analysis of WML in large clinical trials is becoming more and more important. In this paper, we present a computer-assisted WML segmentation method, based on local features extracted from conventional multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ...

Skin cancer is one of the major types of cancers and its incidence has been increasing over the past decades. Skin lesions can arise from various dermatologic disorders and can be classified to various types according to their texture, structure, color and other morphological features. The accuracy of diagnosis of skin lesions, specifically the discrimination of benign and malignant lesions, is...

There has been a paradigm shift from Black's 'extension for prevention' to a minimal intervention approach in the recent time. The most important aspect in diagnosis of earliest stages of enamel demineralization involves accurate and reliable detection of such lesions. The newer diagnostic aids would enable the dentist to detect and diagnose early enamel lesions and direct appropriate preventiv...

Classification and detection abnormal Mammography application is extremely valuable if there should arise an occurrence of analyze, checking and evaluating Lesion. Be that as it may, mechanized Lesion Detection in MAMMOGRAPHY postures many difficulties as to qualities of a picture. Numerous strategies are included to recognize the injury in the medicinal pictures such watershed, picture Detecti...

Diagnosing malignant skin lesions early is often the difference between life or death. With the increasing accessibility of deep learning tools that have demonstrated outstanding performance for image classification, it is no surprise that there has been an extensive effort to employ neural networks in the diagnosis of skin lesions. We explore a method of late-fusion of three identical CNN’s mo...

Diffusion MRI can be used to study the structural connectivity within the brain. Brain connectivity is often represented by a binary network whose topology can be studied using graph theory. We present a framework for the construction of weighted structural brain networks, containing information about connectivity, which can be effectively analyzed using statistical methods. Network nodes are d...

Background: Meniscus tear is a common finding in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and may affectthe natural history of the injury and the outcomes of treatment. In the current study, the characteristics of meniscus tearsin patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were investigated.Methods: The hospital records of 1022 patients were reviewed. ...

Skin Ulcers are likely to be caused by the increase in UV radiation which occurs as a result of ozone depletion with the culture of the sun. Major other causes of skin cancer are burns, scars, sores, radiation or certain chemicals like arsenic. Moreover, tattooing is considered as a fashion in the younger generations, unaware of the fact that it can cause a skin cancer. However, if detected ear...
