Cataract Patients

This Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer-Based Cataract Detection System using Deep Convolutional Neural Network through GoogLeNet Transfer Learning and MATLAB digital image processing paradigm based on Lens Opacities Classification System III with Python application, which would capture the image of the eyes of cataract patients to detect the type of cataract without using dilating drops. Additionally, the system could also determine the severity, grade, color or area, and hardness of cataract. It would also display, save, search and print the partial diagnosis that can be done to the patients. Descriptive quantitative research, Waterfall System Development Life Cycle and Evolutionary Prototyping Models was used as the methodologies of this study. Cataract patients and ophthalmologists of one of the eye clinics in City of Biñan, Laguna, as well as engineers and information technology professionals tested the system and also served as respondents to the conducted survey. Obtained results indicated that the detection of cataract and its characteristics using the system were accurate and reliable, which has a significant difference from the current eye examination for cataract. Generally, this would be a modern cataract detection system for all Cataract patients

Contrast Enhanced

Computer vision, biomedical image processing and deep learning are related fields with a tremendous impact on the interpretation of medical images today. Among biomedical image sensing modalities, ultrasound (US) is one of the most widely used in practice, since it is noninvasive, accessible, and cheap. Its main drawback, compared to other imaging modalities, like computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), consists of the increased dependence on the human operator. One important step toward reducing this dependence is the implementation of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for US imaging. The aim of the paper is to examine the application of contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging (CEUS) to the problem of automated focal liver lesion (FLL) diagnosis using deep neural networks (DNN). Custom DNN designs are compared with state-of-the-art architectures, either pre-trained or trained from scratch. Our work improves on and broadens previous work in the field in several aspects, e.g., a novel leave-one-patient-out evaluation procedure, which further enabled us to formulate a hard-voting classification scheme. We show the effectiveness of our models, i.e., 88% accuracy reported against a higher number of liver lesion types: hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), hypervascular metastases (HYPERM), hypovascular metastases (HYPOM), hemangiomas (HEM), and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the viability of implementation of an object recognition algorithm driven by deep learning for aerospace manufacturing, maintenance and assembly tasks. Comparison research has found that current computer vision methods such as, spatial mapping was limited to macro-object recognition because of its nodal wireframe analysis. An optical object recognition algorithm was trained to learn complex geometric and chromatic characteristics, therefore allowing for micro-object recognition, such as cables and other critical components. This thesis investigated the use of a convolutional neural network with object recognition algorithms. The viability of two categories of object recognition algorithms were analyzed: image prediction and object detection. Due to a viral epidemic, this thesis was limited in analytical consistency as resources were not readily available. The prediction-class algorithm was analyzed using a custom dataset comprised of 15 552 images of the MaxFlight V2002 Full Motion Simulator’s inverter system, and a model was created by transfer-learning that dataset onto the InceptionV3 convolutional neural network (CNN). The detection-class algorithm was analyzed using a custom dataset comprised of 100 images of two SUVs of different brand and style, and a model was created by transfer-learning that dataset onto the YOLOv3 deep learning architecture. The tests showed that the object recognition algorithms successfully identified the components with good accuracy, 99.97% mAP for prediction-class and 89.54% mAP. For detection-class. The accuracies and data collected with literature review found that object detection algorithms are accuracy, created for live -feed analysis and were suitable for the significant applications of AVI and aircraft assembly. In the future, a larger dataset needs to be complied to increase reliability and a custom convolutional neural network and deep learning algorithm needs to be developed specifically for aerospace assembly, maintenance and manufacturing applications.

Hepatic Tuberculosis

Background: The liver is involved in disseminated tuberculosis in more than 80% of cases while primary liver involvement is rare, representing <1% of all cases. Hepatic tuberculosis (TB) can be treated by conventional anti-TB therapy; however, diagnosing this disease remains a challenge. The diagnosis might be particularly difficult in patients with a single liver lesion that could be misdiagnosed as a tumor or other focal liver lesions. Although computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings have been described, there is a paucity of literature on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of hepatic TB. Case Summary: herein, we describe a case of a patient with tuberculous lymphadenopathy and chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-related liver disease who developed a single macronodular hepatic TB lesion. Due to the finding of a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) highly suggestive CEUS pattern, specifically a LR5 category according to the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS), and a good response to antitubercular therapy, a non-invasive diagnosis of HCC was made, and the patient underwent liver resection. We also review the published literature on imaging features of hepatic TB and discuss the diagnostic challenge represented by hepatic TB when occurs as a single focal liver lesion. Conclusions: this report shows for the first time that the CEUS pattern of hepatic TB might be misinterpreted as HCC and specific imaging features are lacking. Personal history and epidemiological data are mandatory in interpreting CEUS findings of a focal liver lesion even when the imaging pattern is highly suggestive of HCC.
