ntroduction: Diagnosing brain tumor is not always easy for doctors, and existence of an assistant that                                                      facilitates the interpretation process is an asset in the clinic. Computer vision techniques are devised to aid the clinic in detecting tumors based on a database of tumor c...

brain mr images tissue segmentation is one of the most important parts of the clinical diagnostic tools. pixel classification methods have been frequently used in the image segmentation with two supervised and unsupervised approaches up to now. supervised segmentation methods lead to high accuracy but they need a large amount of labeled data, which is hard, expensive and slow to obtain. moreove...

One of the most often grown crops is potato. As a main food, potatoes are prioritised for cultivation worldwide. Because such rich source vitamins and minerals, we can create robust system food security. However, number illnesses delay growth agriculture harm potato output. Consequently, early disease identification offer better answer effective crop production. In this research work aim to cla...

Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...

An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

Purpose: Non-cancerous prostate lesions such as prostate calcification, prostate enlargement, and prostate inflammation cause too many problems for men’s health. This research proposes a novel approach, a combination of image processing techniques and deep learning methods for classification and segmentation of the prostate in CT-scan images by considering the experienced physicians’ reports. ...

Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women.  Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...

‎This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...

introduction: various computer assisted medical procedures such as dental implant, orthodontic planning, face, jaw and cosmetic surgeries require automatic quantification and volumetric visualization of teeth. in this regard, segmentation is a major step. material and methods: in this paper, inspired by our previous experiences and considering the anatomical knowledge of teeth and jaws, we prop...
