چکیده

Among the many features used for classification in computer-aided detection (CAD) systems targeting colonic polyps, those based on differences between the shapes of polyps and folds are most common. We introduce here an explicit parametric model for the haustra or colon wall. The proposed model captures the overall shape of the haustra and we use it to derive the probability distribution of features relevant to polyp detection. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated through its application to a colon CAD algorithm.

A bottom-up approach for the analysis of haustral fold ridges in CTC-CAD

Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems assist radiologists in the detection of colorectal lesions. The performance of CAD systems, however, suffers due to the presence of false positives (FPs) which are introduced by various sources. One of the main sources of FPs in CAD systems is haustral folds. This paper presents a new bottom-up datadriven method to analyse and detect haustral folds. The ex...

Volumetric colon wall unfolding using harmonic differentials

Volumetric colon wall unfolding is a novel method for virtual colon analysis and visualization with valuable applications in virtual colonoscopy (VC) and computer-aided detection (CAD) systems. A volumetrically unfolded colon enables doctors to visualize the entire colon structure without occlusions due to haustral folds, and is critical for performing efficient and accurate texture analysis on...

Nawaz, Slabaugh: Global Analysis of Haustral Fold Ridges

Haustral folds are a major source of false positives (FPs) in the Computer Aided Detection (CAD) of colorectal lesions. In this paper, a novel bottom-up data-driven approach is presented to globally analyze haustral folds. Unlike the earlier haustral fold detection methods that rely solely on local differential geometric computations, which can be unreliable, particularly for thicker folds, our...

Neural regulation of the interrelation between haustral and taenial motility in the rabbit proximal colon.

Neural regulation of the motility between the haustra and taenia coli was studied in the isolated rabbit proximal colon. Four types of haustral and taenial preparations were used: the haustral strip without the taenia coli (type 1), the haustral strip including the taenia coli (type 2), the L-shaped (taenia-haustra) preparations for recording the haustral (circular) response to taenial stimulat...

DESIGN OF MINIMUM SEEPAGE LOSS IRRIGATION CANAL SECTIONS USING PROBABILISTIC SEARCH

To ensure efficient performance of irrigation canals, the losses from the canals need to be minimized. In this paper a modified formulation is presented to solve the optimization model for the design of different canal geometries for minimum seepage loss, in meta-heuristic environment. The complex non-linear and non-convex optimization model for canal design is solved using a probabilistic sear...
