چکیده

Due to the increasing use of digital medical images, a need exists to develop an approach for automatic image annotation, which provides textual labels for images. Thus added labels can be used to access images using textual queries. Automatic image annotation can be separated into two individual tasks: feature extraction and image classification. In this paper, the authors present feature extraction methods for calcification mammograms. The resultant features, based on BI-RADS standards, make annotated image contents represent the correct medical meaning and tag correspondent terms. Furthermore, this paper also proposes a probabilistic SVM approach to image classification. Finally, the experimental results indicate that the probabilistic SVM approach to image annotation can achieve 79.5% in the average accuracy rate. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-0900-6.ch011

SUBCLASS FUZZY-SVM CLASSIFIER AS AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE THE MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS

This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from...

Increased vascular calcification in patients receiving warfarin.

OBJECTIVE Matrix gla protein is a vitamin K-dependent inhibitor of medial arterial calcification whose synthesis and activity are blocked by warfarin. Warfarin induces arterial calcification in experimental models, but whether this occurs in humans is unclear. This was addressed by examining breast arterial calcification, which is exclusively medial and easily identified on mammograms. APPROA...

Annotation in Architecture: A Systematic Approach toward Mobilization and Development of Theoretical, Research, and Critical Basis in Architecture

Annotations usually refer to marginal notes that explain a difficult or ambiguous subject, provide a general definition or a critical remark for a particular part of a text. Historically, annotating was a well-known tradition in Islamic sciences and was used especially in times when there were less new potentials for generating new knowledge. The main question of this research is, can the tradi...
