BM-BronchoLC - A rich bronchoscopy dataset for anatomical landmarks and lung cancer lesion recognition.

Flexible bronchoscopy has revolutionized respiratory disease diagnosis. It offers direct visualization and detection of airway abnormalities, including lung cancer lesions. Accurate identification of airway lesions during flexible bronchoscopy plays an important role in the lung cancer diagnosis.

Automatic scan range for dose-reduced multiphase CT imaging of the liver utilizing CNNs and Gaussian models.

Multiphase CT scanning of the liver is performed for several clinical applications; however, radiation exposure from CT scanning poses a nontrivial cancer risk to the patients. The radiation dose may be reduced by determining the scan range of the subsequent scans by the location of the target of interest in the first scan phase. The purpose of this study is to present and assess an automatic method for determining the scan range for multiphase CT scans.

Benchmarking a reduced multivariate polynomial pattern classifier.

A novel method using a reduced multivariate polynomial model has been developed for biometric decision fusion where simplicity and ease of use could be a concern. However, much to our surprise, the reduced model was found to have good classification accuracy for several commonly used data sets from the Web. In this paper, we extend the single output model to a multiple outputs model to handle multiple class problems.

An empirical comparison of nine pattern classifiers.

There are many learning algorithms available in the field of pattern classification and people are still discovering new algorithms that they hope will work better. Any new learning algorithm, beside its theoretical foundation, needs to be justified in many aspects including accuracy and efficiency when applied to real life problems. In this paper, we report the empirical comparison of a recent algorithm RM, its new extensions and three classical classifiers in different aspects including classification accuracy, computational time and storage requirement.
