Background: After the treatment of the patients with malignant lymphoma, there may persist lesions that must be labeled either as evolutive lymphoma requiring new treatments or as residual masses. We present in this work, a machine learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) applied to whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images.
Methods: The database consists of a total of 1005 MRI images with evolutive lymphoma and residual masses.
Background: In this paper, we propose a new efficient method of radionuclide ventriculography image segmentation to estimate the left ventricular ejection fraction. This parameter is an important prognostic factor for diagnosing abnormal cardiac function.
Methods: The proposed method combines the Chan-Vese and the mathematical morphology algorithms.
Background: Determination of BRAF status is mandatory for targeted therapy but it is not currently available in most developing countries.
Aim: We aimed to analyze BRAF mutations in a series of cutaneous melanoma of Tunisian patients and to compare BRAF V600E mutation detection by immunohistochemistry to DNA sequencing.
Patients And Methods: Archival formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues from 28 patients with primary cutaneous melanoma were evaluated for the BRAF mutations by Sanger sequencing and immunohistochemistry.
