Abstract:

<p> The application of machine learning algorithms to analyze and determine disease related patterns in neuroimaging has emerged to be of extreme interest in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD). This study is a small step towards categorizing Alzheimer's disease, Neurode-generative diseases, Psychiatric diseases and Cerebrovascular Small Vessel diseases using CAD. In this study, the SPECT neuroimages are pre-processed using powerful data reduction techniques such as Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Automated Anatomical Labeling (AAL).

Abstract:

This dissertation discusses three problems from different areas of medical research and their machine learning solutions. Each solution is a distinct type of decision support system. They show three common properties: personalized healthcare decision support, reduction of the use of medical resources, and improvement of outcomes. The first decision support system assists individual hospital selection. This system can help a user make the best decision in terms of the combination of mortality, complication, and travel distance. Both machine learning and optimization techniques are utilized in t

Abstract:

Radiomics, a non-invasive and quantitative mining medical imaging information method, could extract molecular biological features and enormous feature combinations to customise individualised treatment and solve the problem of heterogeneity, satisfying the standards of precision medicine. However, it faces many challenges in the feature selection process, including redundant features, irrelevant features and the overfitting risk. More important, people know little about radiomics biological background and its connection to radiology, so it is difficult to apply radiology directly to medicine a

Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 58).<br>Many manufacturing firms have improved their operations by implementing a work-in-process (WIP) limiting control strategy. This project explores the application of this concept to limit WIP and reduce cycle time for the Becton, Dickinson and Company's manufacturing facility in Tuas, Singapore. BD's Eclipse Safety Needle production line is facing increasing pressure to reduce its high WIP and long cycle times. With the forecast of increasing demand,

Abstract:

This paper explores the use of Naive Bayes as well a Linear Support Vector Machines in order to classify a text based on the level of medical emergency. The primary source of testing will be an online veterinarian service’s customer data. The aspects explored are whether a single text gives enough information for a medical decision to be made and if there are alternative data gathering processes that would be preferred. Past research has proven that text classiﬁers based on Naive Bayes and SVMs can often give good results. We show how to optimize the results so that important decisions can be

Abstract:

Falling asleep while operating a moving vehicle is a contributing factor to the statistics of road related accidents. It has been estimated that 20% of all accidents where a vehicle has been involved are due to sleepiness behind the wheel. To prevent accidents and to save lives are of uttermost importance. In this thesis, given the world’s largest dataset of driver participants, two methods of evaluating driver sleepiness have been evaluated. The first method was based on the creation of epochs from lane departures and KSS, whilst the second method was based solely on the creation of epochs ba

Abstract:

ECG is used clinically to detect a multitude of medical conditions, such as heart-problems like arrhythmias and heart failure, and to give a good general image of the function of the heart with a quick and harmless exam. In many clinical cases, normal ECG measurements cannot be taken, such as with fetuses where ECG signals from the mother’s own body hinder the measurement. This paper examines using machine learning algorithms to be able to simulate ECG graphs from ultrasound data alone. These algorithms are trained on ultrasound and ECG data acquired from the same patient simultaneously. The d

Medical Information Visualization makes optimized use of digitized data of medical records, e.g. Electronic Medical Record. This thesis is an extended work of Pictorial Information Visualization System (PIVS) developed by Yongji Jin (Jin, 2016) Jiaren Suo (Suo, 2017) which is a graphical visualization system by picturizing patient’s medical history summary depicting patients’ medical information in order to help patients and doctors to easily capture patients’ past and present conditions. The summary information has been manually entered into the interface where the information can be taken fr

Abstract:

A reliable evaluation system is essential for every automatic process. While techniques for automatic segmentation of images have been extensively researched in recent years, evaluation of the same has not received an equal amount of attention. Amra Medical AB has developed a system for automatic segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images of human bodies using an atlas-based approach. Through their software, Amra is able to derive body composition measurements, such as muscle and fat volumes, from the segmented MR images. As of now, the automatic segmentations are quality controlled by cli

Abstract:

Text analysis has become an important research activity in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Statistical text mining and natural language processing have been shown to be very effective for extracting useful information from medical documents. However, neither of these techniques is effective at extracting the information stored in semi-structure text elements. A prototype system (TagLine) was developed as a method for extracting information from the semi-structured portions of text using machine learning. Features for the learning machine were suggested by prior work, as well as by
