AI Article Synopsis

  • The article presents a content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) system specifically for brain MRI images associated with three types of tumors: meningioma, glioma, and pituitary tumors.
  • The system utilizes GoogLeNet via transfer learning to extract image features and employs a Siamese Neural Network (SNN) to process these features in a two-dimensional space.
  • Evaluated on the Figshare dataset, the method demonstrates superior performance, measured by mean average precision (mAP) and precision@10.

Article Abstract

An image retrieval system for medical images aids in disease diagnosis by providing similar images from the medical database to a query image. In this article, a content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) system is proposed for the retrieval of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of the brain with three types of tumors:- meningioma, glioma and pituitary tumors. The proposed system uses GoogLeNet encodings via transfer learning as image features. A Siamese Neural Network (SNN), is designed, to represent the GoogLeNet encodings in a two-dimensional (2-D) feature space. The SNN is trained using the contrastive loss function to learn the class-specific image features. The similarity, between a query image and the database images, is measured by the Euclidean metric in the lower dimensional feature space. The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance for the retrieval of MRI images with brain tumors. The evaluation is done on the openly available Figshare dataset and the performance metrics used are mean average precision (mAP) and precision@10.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) to analyze diaphragm motion in patients with thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS), providing insights into the severity of respiratory disorders without exposing patients to radiation.
  • The paper outlines a three-step approach to segment the left and right hemi-diaphragm from dMRI images, overcoming challenges like low resolution and motion blur by employing advanced deep learning techniques for accurate recognition and delineation.
  • Results showed a mean-Hausdorff distance of approximately 3 mm for diaphragm delineation and a positional error of about 3 mm in identifying the mid-sagittal plane, validated using 100 test images of TIS patients.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most prevailing cause of dementia. AD critically disturbs the daily routine, which usually needs to be detected at its early stage. Unfortunately, AD detection using magnetic resonance imaging is challenging because of the subtle physiological variations between normal and AD patients visible on magnetic resonance imaging.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how balance and dizziness are connected to the interaction of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems, using center of pressure (COP) signals during quiet standing to measure these interactions.
  • Researchers developed a deep learning protocol that analyzes COP signal frequencies to estimate equilibrium scores (ES), involving normal individuals and patients with dizziness disorders like Meniere's disease and vestibular neuritis.
  • Results showed that the deep learning model accurately predicts ES with minimal error (1.0% average), suggesting this method could streamline balance testing and make it more accessible.

This paper proposes fault diagnosis methods aimed at proactively preventing potential safety issues in robot systems, particularly human coexistence robots (HCRs) used in industrial environments. The data were collected from durability tests of the driving module for HCRs, gathering time-series vibration data until the module failed. In this study, to apply classification methods in the absence of post-failure data, the initial 50% of the collected data were designated as the normal section, and the data from the 10 h immediately preceding the failure were selected as the fault section.
