Segmentation tasks in medical imaging represent an exhaustive challenge for scientists since the image acquisition nature yields issues that hamper the correct reconstruction and visualization processes. Depending on the specific image modality, we have to consider limitations such as the presence of noise, vanished edges, or high intensity differences, known, in most cases, as inhomogeneities. New algorithms in segmentation are required to provide a better performance. This paper presents a new unified approach to improve traditional segmentation methods as Active Shape Models and Chan-Vese model based on level set. The approach introduces a combination of local analysis implementations with classic segmentation algorithms that incorporates local texture information given by the Hermite transform and Local Binary Patterns. The mixture of both region-based methods and local descriptors highlights relevant regions by considering extra information which is helpful to delimit structures. We performed segmentation experiments on 2D images including midbrain in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and heart’s left ventricle endocardium in Computed Tomography. Quantitative evaluation was obtained with Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance measures. Results display a substantial advantage over the original methods when we include our characterization schemes. We propose further research validation on different organ structures with promising results.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the critical diseases and the most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, early detection and prediction of such a disease is extremely essential for a healthy life. Cardiac imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease but its role has been limited to visual assessment of heart structure and its function. However, with the advanced techniques and tools of big data and machine learning, it become easier to clinician to diagnose the CVD. Stenosis with in the Coronary Arteries (CA) are often determined by using the Coronary Cine Angiogram (CCA). It comes under the invasive image modality. CCA is the effective method to detect and predict the stenosis. In this paper a coronary analysis automation method is proposed in disease diagnosis. The proposed method includes pre-processing, segmentation, identifying vessel path and statistical analysis.

Medical images are increasing at an alarming rate. This increasing number of images affects the interpreting capacity of radiologists. In order to reduce the burden of radiologists, automatic categorization of medical images based on modality is the need of the hour. Because image modality is an important and fundamental image characteristic. The important factor in the automatic medical image categorization based on modality are the features used for categorization purpose, because nice treatment on these subtleties can lead to good results. Many descriptors have been proposed in the literature for medical image categorization. It is unclear which descriptor encodes the content information efficiently. The descriptors that are calculated from these medical images should be descriptive, distinctive and robust to various transformations. The stability of these descriptors are evaluated under various transformations and are then analyzed for their discriminatory ability for the task of classification. In this study the criteria of transformations, repeatability, matching and classification accuracy on the basis of precision recall is used to evaluate the performance of these descriptors. The experimental results illustrates that among global descriptors local features patches histogram and among local descriptors SIFT encodes the content information quite efficiently.

Purpose – The purpose of this conceptual paper is to consider the possibility of designing a story-based image indexing system based on users’ descriptions of images. It reports a pilot study which uses users’ descriptions of two images. Design/methodology/approach – Eight interviews were undertaken to investigate storytelling in user interpretations of the images. Following this, storytelling was explored as an indexing input method. In all, 26 research subjects were asked to create stories about the images, which were then considered in relation to conventional story elements and in relation to Hidderley and Rafferty's (2005) image modality model. Findings – The results of the semi-structured interviews revealed that the majority of interpretations incorporated story elements related to setting, character, plot, literary devices, and themes. The 52 image stories included story elements identified in the first part of the project, and suggested that the image modality model is robust enough to deal with the “writerly” images used in this study. In addition, using storytelling as an input method encourages the use of verbs and connotative level responses. Originality/value – User indexing is generally based on paradigmatic approaches to concept analysis and interpretation in the form of tagging; the novelty of the current study is its exploration of syntagmatic approaches to user indexing in the form of storytelling. It is a pilot, proof of concept study, but it is hoped that it might stimulate further interest in syntagmatic approaches to user indexing.
