Artificial neural network aided non-invasive grading evaluation of hepatic fibrosis by duplex ultrasonography
BACKGROUND Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely studied for evaluating diseases. This paper discusses the intelligence mode of an ANN in grading the diagnosis of liver fibrosis by duplex ultrasonogaphy. METHODS 239 patients who were confirmed as having liver fibrosis or cirrhosis by ultrasound guided liver biopsy were investigated in this study. We quantified ultrasonographic paramete...
متن کاملNon-invasive grading of aortic regurgitation by Doppler ultrasonography.
Doppler ultrasound without concomitant echocardiographic imaging was used to grade isolated aortic regurgitation in 21 patients. The severity of aortic regurgitation was subsequently graded (from 0 to IV) angiographically. A 2 MHz continuous wave Doppler transducer was placed over the apex of the heart and the beam was aimed parallel to the mitral flow by means of acoustic guidance. Mitral pres...

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...
Artificial Neural Network aided Protein Structure Prediction
Protein structure prediction plays a vital role in drug design and biotechnology. Understanding protein structures is necessary to determine the function of a protein and its interaction with DNA, RNA and Enzymes. Experimental techniques such as NMR Spectroscopy and X-ray Crystallography have been the main source of information about protein structures. But these conventional methods are now re...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Biomarkers for Hepatic Fibrosis
With great advancements in the therapeutic modalities used for the treatment of chronic liver diseases, the accurate assessment of liver fibrosis is a vital need for successful individualized management of disease activity in patients. The lack of accurate, reproducible and easily applied methods for fibrosis assessment has been the major limitation in both the clinical management and for resea...
