Assessing the Feasibility of Learning Biomedical Phenotype Patterns Using High-Throughput Omics Profiles
DownloadSpring 2014
A decade after the completion of the human genome project, the rapid advancement of the high-throughput measurement technologies has made omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) profiling feasible. The availability of such omics profiles has raised the hope for the...

Automated Rod Length Measurements on Radiographs and Sonograms in Children with Early Onset Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2024
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) is a medical condition that is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine with vertebral rotation in children under age 10. Approximately 2-3% of children worldwide have scoliosis. Surgical intervention is the most effective management to treat these children who have...

Automated semantic segmentation of NiCrBSi-WC optical microscopy images using convolutional neural networks
Download2022-01-01
Rose, D., Forth, J., Henein, H., Wolfe, T., Qureshi, A.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used for the semantic segmentation of angular monocrystalline WC from NiCrBSi-WC optical microscopy images. This deep learning approach was able to emulate the laborious task of manual segmentation effectively, with a mean intersection over union (IOU)...
