The Haralick texture features are a well-known mathematical method to detect the lung abnormalities and give the opportunity to the physician to localize the abnormality tissue type, either lung tumor or pulmonary edema. In this paper, statistical evaluation of the different features will represent the reported performance of the proposed method. Thirty-seven patients CT datasets with either lung tumor or pulmonary edema were included in this study. The CT images are first preprocessed for noise reduction and image enhancement, followed by segmentation techniques to segment the lungs, and finally Haralick texture features to detect the type of the abnormality within the lungs. In spite of the presence of low contrast and high noise in images, the proposed algorithms introduce promising results in detecting the abnormality of lungs in most of the patients in comparison with the normal and suggest that some of the features are significantly recommended than others.

Brain tumor is a most dangerous disease and requires accurate diagnosis in a short period to ensure the best treatment. Traditional methods for brain tumor classification (BTC) are quite effective, even though usually resulting in clinical manual analysis, which takes more time and prone to errors. Initially, the input image is collected from Brain Tumor dataset.

The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a crucial parameter for evaluating crop growth and informing fertilization management in agricultural fields. Compared to traditional methods, UAV-based hyperspectral imaging technology offers significant advantages for non-destructive, rapid monitoring of crop LAI by simultaneously capturing both spectral information and two-dimensional images of the crop canopy, which reflect changes in its structure. While numerous studies have demonstrated that various texture features, such as the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), can be used independently or in combination with crop canopy spectral data for LAI estimation, limited research exists on the application of Haralick textures for evaluating crop LAI across multiple growth stages.

Purpose: Demonstrate quantitative characterization of 3D patient-specific absorbed dose distributions using Haralick texture analysis, and interpret measures in terms of underlying physics and radiation dosimetry.
Methods: Retrospective analysis is performed for 137 patients who underwent permanent implant prostate brachytherapy using two simulation conditions: "TG186" (realistic tissues including 0-3.8% intraprostatic calcifications; interseed attenuation) and "TG43" (water-model; no interseed attenuation).

Background: The purpose of this study is to construct models for predicting platinum resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) derived from quantitative spatial heterogeneity indicators obtained from F-FDG PET/CT images.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with HGSOC. Quantitative indicators of spatial heterogeneity were generated using conventional features and Haralick texture features from both CT and PET images.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for extracting structural information from structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), combined with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and neuropsychological features, has emerged as a pivotal tool for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the fixed-size convolutional kernels in CNNs have limitations in capturing global features, reducing the effectiveness of AD diagnosis. We introduced a group self-calibrated coordinate attention network (GSCANet) designed for the precise diagnosis of AD using multimodal data, including encompassing Haralick texture features, functional connectivity, and neuropsychological scores.
