Melanosis coli (MC) is a disease related to long-term use of anthranoid laxative agents. Patients with clinical constipation or obesity are more likely to use these drugs for long periods. Moreover, patients with MC are more likely to develop polyps, particularly adenomatous polyps. Adenomatous polyps can transform to colorectal cancer. Recognizing multiple polyps from MC is challenging due to their heterogeneity. Therefore, this study proposed a quantitative assessment of MC colonic mucosa with texture patterns. In total, the MC colonoscopy images of 1092 person-times were included in this study. At the beginning, the correlations among carcinoembryonic antigens, polyp texture, and pathology were analyzed. Then, 181 patients with MC were extracted for further analysis while patients having unclear images were excluded. By gray-level co-occurrence matrix, texture patterns in the colorectal images were extracted. Pearson correlation analysis indicated five texture features were significantly correlated with pathological results (p < 0.001). This result should be used in the future to design an instant help software to help the physician. The information of colonoscopy and image analystic data can provide clinicians with suggestions for assessing patients with MC.

Abstract A dilemma in treating glioblastoma is that MRI after chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoRT) shows areas of presumed tumor growth in up to 50% of patients. These areas can represent true progression (TP), tumor growth with tumors non-responsive to treatment, or pseudoprogression (PP), edema and tumor necrosis with favorable treatment response. On imaging, TP and PP are usually not discernable. Patients in this study undergo six weeks of chemoRT on a combination MRI/RT device, receiving daily MRIs. The goal of this study is to explore the correlation of radiomics features with progression. The tumor lesion and surrounding areas of growth/edema were manually outlined as regions of interest (ROIs) for each daily T2-weighted MRI scan. The ROIs were used to calculate texture features: statistical features based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), the gray-level zone size matrix (GLZSM), the gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM), and the neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM). Each of these matrix classes describe the probability of spatial relationships of gray levels occurring within the ROI. Daily texture features were averaged per week of treatment for each patient. Patient response was retrospectively defined as no progression (NP), TP, or PP. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to identify texture features that correlated most strongly with patient response. Forty texture features were calculated for 12 patients (19 treated, 7 excluded due to no T2 lesion or progression status unknown, 6 NP, 3 TP, 3 PP). There was a trend of more texture features correlating significantly with response in weeks 4-6 of treatment, compared to weeks 1-3. A particular texture feature, GLSZM Small Zone Low Gray-Level Emphasis, showed increasing difference between PP and TP over time, with significant difference during week 6 of treatment (p=0.0495). Future directions include correlating early outcomes with greater numbers of patients and daily multiparametric MRI.

This work contributes multi object detection and dynamic query image based retrieval system. Generally, finding relevance and matching user expectations is very critical based on query key information and these results irrelevant responses which will produce low similarity index. Consequently, CBIR system took a major responsibility of identifying new objects, retrieving similar objects or contents based on multi query and dynamic keywords with improved recall and precision as per requirement of the users. At this juncture, Discrete Curvelet Transform with the incorporation of HOG and HTF based approach is proposed to handle commercial image, medical images and types of multi model images. This proposed approach mainly focuses on extracting scaled features for finding correlation among the query and database images. To start with the process, query image is decomposed into multi level sub images to extract set of texture features at two levels. These features are estimated by Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and HOG descriptor based techniques is adapted to find scaled vectors with reduced dimensionality. This method outperform compared as compared to existing method is authenticated from experimental results.

A new texture-feature description operator, called the multidirectional binary patterns (MDBP) operator, is proposed in this paper. The operator can extract the detailed distribution of textures in local regions by comparing the differences in the gray levels between neighboring pixels. Moreover, the texture expression ability is enhanced by focusing on the texture features in the linear neighborhood of the image in multiple directions. The MDBP operator was modified by introducing a “uniform” pattern to reduce the grayscale values in the image. Combining the “uniform” MDBP operator and the gray-level co-occurrence matrix, an unpatterned fabric-defect detection scheme is proposed, including texture-feature extraction and detection stages. In the first stage, the multidirectional texture-feature matrix of a nondefective fabric image is extracted, and then the detection threshold is determined based on the similarity between the feature matrices. In the second stage, the defect is detected with the detection threshold. The proposed method is adapted to various grayscale textile images with different characteristics and is robust to a wide variety of image-processing operations. In addition, it is invariant to grayscale changes, performs well when representing textures and detecting defects and has lower computational complexity than other methods.

Abstract Melanosis coli is a well-known condition in which macrophages filled with a lipofuscin-like pigment are found in the colonic lamina propria. The condition has been associated with the ingestion of anthracene laxatives and is believed to be caused by increased epithelial apoptosis. Although melanosis coli is a frequent finding in colonic biopsies and resection specimens, to our knowledge the presence of identical pigment in macrophages of pericolonic lymph nodes has been reported in only 4 other patients in the English literature. We report the case of a patient who underwent a left hemicolectomy for colonic adenocarcinoma and was found incidentally to have melanosis coli associated with long-term use of the herbal laxative Swiss Kriss, not only in his colonic mucosa, but also in the colonic submucosa and in his pericolonic lymph nodes.

The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between soil moisture content and its image texture. Soil image was captured and converted into CIELUV color space. These images were later used to develop two dimensional gray level co-occurrence matrix. Eight texture features extracted from gray level co-occurrence matrix namely mean, variance, homogeneity, dissimilarity, entropy, contrast, second moment and correlation was used for the analysis. The results has shown that the image texture properties can be used to relate with soil moisture content, where variance, homogeneity, dissimilarity, entropy, contrast, second moment and correlation gave significant responds to the moisture content. The highest value of correlation was gathered from entropy with r = -0.522.

Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is a second-order statistical measure of image grayscale which reflects the comprehensive information of image grayscale in the direction, local neighborhood and magnitude of changes. Firstly, we analyze and reveal the generation process of gray level co-occurrence matrix from horizontal, vertical and principal and secondary diagonal directions. Secondly, we use Brodatz texture images as samples, and analyze the relationship between non-zero elements of gray level co-occurrence matrix in changes of both direction and distances of each pixels pair by. Finally, we explain its function of the analysis process of texture. This paper can provided certain referential significance in the application of using gray level co-occurrence matrix at quality evaluation of texture image.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Large number of diverse imaging [e.g., multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI), and digital pathology images] and non-imaging (e.g., clinical) biomedical data streams are being routinely acquired as part of the standard clinical workflow for glioblastoma patients. However, under the current clinical practice, these data streams are not collectively used for diagnosis. We sought to assess the synergies between pathologic, and radiomic features by evaluating the predictive value of each group of features and their combinations through a prognostic classifier. METHODS The mpMRI (T1,T1-Gd,T2,T2-FLAIR) and corresponding digital pathology images for 135 de novo glioblastoma was acquired from TCIA. An extensive panel of handcrafted features, including shape, volume, intensity distributions, gray-level co-occurrence matrix based texture, was extracted from delineated tumor regions of mpMRI scans. A set of 100 region-of-interest each comprising 1024x1024 that contained viable tumor with descriptive histologic characteristics and that were free of artifacts were extracted from digital pathology images, and were quantified in terms of nuclear texture features, and nuclear intensity and gradient statistics. A support vector regression multivariately integrated these features towards a marker of overall-survival. The accuracy of the predictive model for each group of features, and their combinations, was determined via a 10-fold cross-validation scheme. RESULTS The Pearson correlation coefficient between the survival scores predicted by SVR and the actual survival scores was estimated to be 0.75 and 0.77 for radiographic and pathologic data, however, the integration of these data yielded a clear improvement in correlation (0.81), supporting the synergistic value of these features in the prognostic model. CONCLUSION Radiomic features extracted from preoperative mpMRI, when used together with digital pathology features, offer synergistic value in assessment of prognosis in individual patients. The proposed radiopathomics marker may contribute to (i) stratification of patients into clinical trials, (ii) patient selection for targeted therapy, and (iii) personalized treatment planning.
