The New Approach of Multiple Genome Sequence Parallel Matching based on GPU
Suffix trees and suffix arrays have recently received broad attention and use in bioinformatics applications, in particular for the use of DNA sequence alignments at the early matching phrase of heuristic algorithms. This research comes up with the implementation as well as optimization of suffix tree and suffix array on many-core and multi-core platforms for accelerating multiple genome sequence searching. In comparison to the traditional approaches, a binary searching with tile optimization and coalesced memory access under the GPU architecture is conducted in an effective fashion.

Spine Labeling in Axial Magnetic Resonance Imaging via Integral Kernels
Radiologic assessment is an essential step in managing patients with spinal diseases or disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly utilized for evaluating the inter-vertebral discs and other soft tissue structures (Fardon and Milette, 2001), while cortical bone is better seen on Computed Tomography (CT). Nonetheless, the focus of lumbar spine CT is more often on the discs than on the bone. Accurate detection and labeling of different spinal structures is vital, as many interventions require precise anatomic information (Alomari et al., 2011; Glocker et al., 2012; Huang et al., 2009; Klinder et al., 2009; Ma et...

Detection of Small Colon Bleeding in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Videos
The wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), which made its debut in the start of 21st century Iddan et al. (2000), uses a wireless electronic device that captures images of the whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This capsule shaped device with the size of a small pill can be swallowed by the patients without any kind of discomfort. Unlike its predecessor, which is the conventional endoscopy, the WCE examines the whole GI tract of the patient without causing pain and also no sedation is required. With the traditional endoscopy in order to properly examine the GI tract air insufflations are needed Ali et al. (Source: Computerized ...

A Bayesian Approach to Fiber Orientation Estimation Guided by Volumetric Tract Segmentation
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has enabled the reconstruction of white matter tracts by capturing the anisotropy of the water diffusion in tissue. In a basic dMRI strategy, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) models the water diffusion as a diffusion tensor  (Basser et al., 1994). More advanced diffusion imaging techniques, such as high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) (Tuch et al., 2002) and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) (Wedeen et al., 2005), have been used to represent crossing fibers.

A Location-to-Segmentation Strategy for Automatic Exudate Segmentation in Colour Retinal Fundus Images
Diabetic retinopathy is the main cause of blindness in working age population in the world Lim (1998). The World Diabetes Foundation estimates that over 438 million people will suffer from diabetic retinopathy by 2030. As the window to a person's body, retinal fundus contains rich anatomical structures, such as optic disk, vessels and macula, as Fig. 1(a) shows. Specifically, it provides an important manifestation of the presence of diabetic retinopathy. Traditional diagnosis process is to analyse the retinal fundus images and quantify the exudates according to the ophthalmologists ’ experience. (Source: Computerized Med...

Glaucoma Detection Using Entropy Sampling And Ensemble Learning For Automatic Optic Cup And Disc Segmentation
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in the world, accounting for 12% of such cases. It is estimated that almost 80 million people globally may be affected with glaucoma by 2020 (World Health Organization, 2006). Glaucoma is characterized by damage to the optic nerve through increasing degeneration of the nerve fibers. The progression of the disease is asymptomatic in the early stages but gradually leads to irreversible vision loss. Although there is no known cure, early treatment has been shown to decrease the rate of blindness by around 50% (Michelson et al., 2008). (Source: Computerized Medi...

A Multistage Selective Weighting Method for Improved Microwave Breast Tomography
Microwave tomography has shown potential to successfully reconstruct the dielectric properties of the human breast, thereby providing an alternative to other imaging modalities used in breast imaging applications. Considering the costly forward solution and complex iterative algorithms, computational complexity becomes a major bottleneck in practical applications of microwave tomography. In addition, the natural tendency of microwave inversion algorithms to reward high contrast breast tissue boundaries, such as the skin-adipose interface, usually leads to a very slow reconstruction of the internal tissue structure of human...

Automatic coronary artery segmentation based on multi-domains remapping and quantile regression in angiographies
The heart is one of the most important organs in human body. And the coronary artery, which can provide oxygen for heart, is the most important blood vessels. Nevertheless, coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwideRoger et al. (2012). Although many new technologies have come out such as the CTA and MRI, conventional coronary angiography (CCA) is still the most common way of screening for CAD due to its process speed and accuracy. In clinic practice, the segmentation of accurate vascular structures holds great significance in describing the potential implications for the anatomy and diseases, it is...
