Tear Film Classification in Interferometry Eye Images Using Phylogenetic Diversity Indexes and Ripley's K Function.

Dry eye syndrome is one of the most frequently reported eye diseases in ophthalmological practice. The diagnosis of this disease is a challenging task due to its multifactorial etiology. One of the most applied tests is the manual classification of tear film images captured with the Doane interferometer.

Interferometer eye image classification for dry eye categorization using phylogenetic diversity indexes for texture analysis.

Background and Objective Dry eye syndrome disease negatively impacts many people in various ways. Several tests are required to diagnose it for evaluating different physiological characteristics. One of the most applied tests for this is the manual classification of tear film images captured with Doane interferometer.

An automatic method for lung segmentation and reconstruction in chest X-ray using deep neural networks.

Background And Objective: Chest X-ray (CXR) is one of the most used imaging techniques for detection and diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. A critical component in any computer-aided system, for either detection or diagnosis in digital CXR, is the automatic segmentation of the lung field. One of the main challenges inherent to this task is to include in the segmentation the lung regions overlapped by dense abnormalities, also known as opacities, which can be caused by diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia.
