Categorization of medical images means selecting the appropriate class for a given image out of a set of pre-defined categories. This is an important step for data mining and content-based image retrieval (CBIR). So far, published approaches are capable to distinguish up to 10 categories. In this paper, we evaluate automatic categorization into more than 80 categories describing the imaging modality and direction as well as the body part and biological system examined. Based on 6231 reference images from hospital routine, 85.5% correctness is obtained combining global texture features with scaled images. With a frequency of 97.7%, the correct class is within the best ten matches, which is sufficient for medical CBIR applications.

Department of Informatics, Systems and Communication, University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy.
Introduction: Modeling multi-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) time-series is a challenging tasks, even for the most recent deep learning approaches. Particularly, in this work, we targeted our efforts to the high-fidelity reconstruction of this type of data, as this is of key relevance for several applications such as classification, anomaly detection, automatic labeling, and brain-computer interfaces.
Methods: We analyzed the most recent works finding that high-fidelity reconstruction is seriously challenged by the complex dynamics of the EEG signals and the large inter-subject variability.
Multimodal MRI radiomics-based stacking ensemble learning model with automatic segmentation for prognostic prediction of HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids: a multicenter study.

Department of Radiology, Yiyang Central Hospital, Yiyang, China.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an MRI radiomics stacking ensemble learning model, which combines T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CE-T1WI) with deep learning-based automatic segmentation, for preoperative prediction of the prognosis of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids.
Methods: This retrospective study collected data from 360 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent HIFU treatment. The dataset was sourced from Center A (training set: N = 240; internal test set: N = 60) and Center B (external test set: N = 60).

Background: Colon diseases are major global health issues that often require early detection and correct diagnosis to be effectively treated. Deep learning approaches and recent developments in medical imaging have demonstrated promise in increasing diagnostic accuracy.
Objective: This work suggests that a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model paired with other models can detect different gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities or diseases from endoscopic images via the fusion of residual blocks, including alpha dropouts (αDO) and auxiliary fusing layers.

Label noise is a common and important issue that would affect the model's performance in artificial intelligence. This study assessed the effectiveness and potential risks of automated label cleaning using an open-source framework, Cleanlab, in multi-category datasets of fundus photography and optical coherence tomography, with intentionally introduced label noise ranging from 0 to 70%. After six cycles of automatic cleaning, significant improvements are achieved in label accuracies (3.
