K. Doi - Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics 31 (2007) 198–211

With CAD, the performance by computers does not have to be comparable to or better than that by physicians, but needs to be complementary to that by physicians (synergy).

Vertebral fractures are important indicators of osteoporosis.

Insufficiency fractures of the vertebrae are usually seen as a partial collapse of the vertebral body.

Both semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis of spinal and vertebral deformities could assist in the diagnostic decision-making process and in guiding therapeutic procedures.

Marking Reference PointsMarking Reference Points

Five points, P1–P5, were manually marked near the middle of the intervertebral spaces spanning the range of L1–L4 by using a pointer.

The distances between the points were calculated automatically:

D(1,2), D(2,3), D(3,4), and D(4,5).

Using 75% of each distance measure, the corresponding line joining the manually marked points was shifted in either direction along its perpendicular to create a quadrilateral for each vertebra.

SegmentationSegmentation

Segmentation is based on the detection and characterization of oriented edges using Gabor filters and classification using a neural network.

F. J. Ayres and R. M. Rangayyan. Journal of Electronic Imaging, 16(2):023007:1–12, 2007.

Each image was filtered with a bank of 180 Gabor filters (sinusoidally modulated Gaussian functions) in steps of 1 degree

Width = 4 pixels and elongation factor = 8.

For each pixel, the magnitude response and angle of the Gabor filter providing the highest output were used to compose a Gabor magnitude image and an orientation field.

Pixels in regions corresponding to L1-L4 were obtained from the original image, the Gabor magnitude response, and the coherence image for analysis using a logistic sigmoid neural network.

A leave-one-out training and testing procedure was used.

The output of the neural network for each pixel was used to label the pixel as belonging to a vertebral plateau or not.

Content-Based Image RetrievalContent-Based Image Retrieval

CBIRCBIRDefinition:

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR), also known as query by image content (QBIC) is the application of computer vision techniques to the image retrieval problem, that is, the problem of searching for similar images in large databases.

Content-based means that the search will analyze the actual contents of the image rather than the metadata such as keywords, tags, and/or descriptions associated with the image.

Dermatological Ulcers

Ulcers may appear on the legs due to chronic diseases such as diabetes and venous insufficiency.

Visual assessment of pathological regions and evaluation of macroscopic features are used for the diagnosis of skin lesions in clinical practice.

The appearance of a lesion provides important clues regarding the diagnosis, severity, and prognosis.

The red-yellow-black-white (RYKW) model of tissue composition is useful as a descriptive tool.
