The value of scintigraphic methods for the diagnosis of focal lesions of the liver (IDA, colloids, blood pool) in comparison to dynamic sequential computer tomography (CT) has been examined in this study. We found CT to be diagnostic in typical cases. For example, focal nodular hyperplasia is characterized by a rapid, strong increase and subsequent decrease after application of contrast medium (71 %), whereas hemangiomas show a delayed density increase mostly at the rim (20%). In the event of deviations from the typical pattern, scintigraphic methods have to be applied which then often yield a specific diagnosis, especially in hemangiomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, and adenomas (71%). Ultrasound findings indicating the possible presence of hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia should lead to scintigraphic studies prior to CT, not only for reasons of economy.

Currently, Lung diseases are the major problem that affect the lungs which is an important the organs that allow us to survive through breathing. The diseases such as pleural effusion, Asthma, chronic bronchitis, and normal lung are detected and classified in this work. This paper presents a Computer Tomography (CT) Images of lungs for detection of diseases which is developed using ANN-BPN. The purpose of the work is to detect and classify the lung diseases by effective feature extraction through Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform and GLCM Features. The entire lung is segmented from the Computer Tomography Images and the parameters are calculated from the segmented image. The parameters are calculated using GLCM. We Propose and evaluate the ANN-Back Propagation Network designed for classification of ILD patterns. The parameters gives the maximum classification Accuracy. After result we propose the Fuzzy clustering to segment the lesion part from abnormal lung.

With its excellent property combinations and ability to specifically adjust tailor-made microstructures, steel is still the world’s most important engineering and construction material. To fulfill ever-increasing demands and tighter tolerances in today’s steel industry, steel research remains indispensable. The continuous material development leads to more and more complex microstructures, which is especially true for steel designs that include bainitic structures. This poses new challenges for the classification and quantification of these microstructures. Machine learning (ML) based microstructure classification offers exciting potentials in this context. This paper is concerned with the automated, objective, and reproducible classification of the carbon-rich second phase objects in multi-phase steels by using machine learning techniques. For successful applications of ML-based classifications, a holistic approach combining computer science expertise and material science domain knowledge is necessary. Seven microstructure classes are considered: pearlite, martensite, and the bainitic subclasses degenerate pearlite, debris of cementite, incomplete transformation product, and upper and lower bainite, which can all be present simultaneously in one micrograph. Based on SEM images, textural features (Haralick parameters and local binary pattern) and morphological parameters are calculated and classified with a support vector machine. Of all second phase objects, 82.9% are classified correctly. Regarding the total area of these objects, 89.2% are classified correctly. The reported classification can be the basis for an improved, sophisticated microstructure quantification, enabling process–microstructure–property correlations to be established and thereby forming the backbone of further, microstructure-centered material development.
