摘要: A robust method to automatically segment and identify tumor regions in medical images is extremely valuable for clinical diagnosis and disease modeling. In various embodiments, an efficient algorithm uses sparse models in feature spaces to identify pixels belonging to tumorous regions. By fusing both intensity and spatial location information of the pixels, this technique can automatically localize tumor regions without user intervention. Using a few expert-segmented training images, a sparse coding-based classifier is learned. For a new test image, the sparse code obtained from every pixel is tested with the classifier to determine if it belongs to a tumor region. Particular embodiments also provide a highly accurate, low-complexity procedure for cases when the user can provide an initial estimate of the tumor in a test image.

摘要: Measuring the number of glomeruli in the entire, intact kidney using non-destructive techniques is of immense importance in studying several renal and systemic diseases. In particular, a recent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique, based on injection of a contrast agent, cationic ferritin, has been effective in identifying glomerular regions in the kidney. In various embodiments, a low-complexity, high accuracy method for obtaining the glomerular count from such kidney MRI images is described. This method employs a patch-based approach for identifying a low-dimensional embedding that enables the separation of glomeruli regions from the rest. By using only a few images marked by the expert for learning the model, the method provides an accurate estimate of the glomerular number for any kidney image obtained with the contrast agent. In addition, the implementation of our method shows that this method is near real-time, and can process about 5 images per second.
