The work presented in this paper is focused on the use of spectroscopy to identify the type of tissue of human brain samples employing support vector machine classifiers. Two different spectrometers were used to acquire infrared spectroscopic signatures in the wavenumber range between 1200-3500 cm(-1). An extensive analysis was performed to find the optimal configuration for a support vector machine classifier and determine the most relevant regions of the spectra for this particular application. The results demonstrate that the developed algorithm is robust enough to classify the infrared spectroscopic data of human brain tissue at three different discrimination levels.

A survey of the radiological follow-up of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the United Kingdom

Samuel Hall, Ashraf Abouharb, Ian Anderson, Andrew Bacon, Anuj Bahl, Howard Brydon, Graham Dow, Ioannis Fouyas, James Galea, Anthony Ghosh, Nihal Gurusinghe, Mahmoud Kamel, Pawan Minhas, Patrick Mitchell, David Mowle, Nitin Mukerji, Ramesh Nair, John Norris, Hiren Patel, Jash Patel, Krunal Patel, Jerome St George, Mario Teo, Ahmed Toma, Rikin Trivedi, Chris Uff, Anna Visca, Daniel C. Walsh, Edward White, Peter Whitfield, Diederik Bulters

Summary: This study investigated the current practices of surveillance for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) in the United Kingdom. The results showed significant heterogeneity in surveillance practices between different units, with lack of uniform policies and standards. This study contributes to better understanding the variation in practice among units and provides a framework for further research on aneurysm growth.

Early identification of mushy Halibut syndrome with hyperspectral image analysis

Samuel Ortega, Stein-Kato Lindberg, Stein Harris Olsen, Kathryn E. Anderssen, Karsten Heia

Summary: Mushy Halibut Syndrome (MHS) is a condition characterized by abnormal flesh texture in Greenland halibut, resulting in poor meat quality. This study proposes the use of hyperspectral imaging for MHS detection, aiming to estimate the chemical composition of affected samples and classify specimens using PLS-DA. The results show accurate prediction of fat content using spectral data, while the prediction of water content was less accurate. However, MHS detection using PLS-DA achieved high precision and recall rates for hyperspectral images, suggesting hyperspectral imaging as a suitable technology for early screening of MHS.

Blur-specific image quality assessment of microscopic hyperspectral images

Laura Quintana-Quintana, Samuel Ortega, Himar Fabelo, Francisco J. Balea-Fernandez, Gustavo M. Callico

Summary: Hyperspectral imaging improves cancer diagnosis by automatically classifying cells, but achieving homogeneous focus in such images is challenging. This study aims to quantify the focus of hyperspectral images for image correction. State-of-the-art methods like Maximum Local Variation, Fast Image Sharpness block-based Method, and Local Phase Coherence algorithms showed the best correlation results with subjective scores of image focus.

Feature Ranking by Variational Dropout for Classification Using Thermograms from Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Abian Hernandez-Guedes, Natalia Arteaga-Marrero, Enrique Villa, Gustavo M. Callico, Juan Ruiz-Alzola

Summary: Diabetes mellitus has a high global prevalence, and its long-term complication, diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), affects roughly 6.3% of the population and has a lifetime incidence of up to 34%. Infrared thermograms can be used to monitor the risk of DFU development by detecting abnormal foot patterns in diabetic patients. This study utilized the INAOE dataset along with additional data to extract features and classify DFU subjects, achieving improved performance compared to previous state-of-the-art features.

Towards Real-Time Hyperspectral Multi-Image Super-Resolution Reconstruction Applied to Histological Samples

Carlos Urbina Ortega, Eduardo Quevedo Gutierrez, Laura Quintana, Samuel Ortega, Himar Fabelo, Lucana Santos Falcon, Gustavo Marrero Callico

Summary: This work proposes an approach to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral histology samples using super-resolution. By taking multiple images of the same scene in a controlled environment with sub-pixel shifts between them, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the spatial resolution of the sensor while preserving the spectral signature of the pixels, competing well with other state-of-the-art super-resolution techniques, and opening up possibilities for real-time applications.

Synthetic Patient Data Generation and Evaluation in Disease Prediction Using Small and Imbalanced Datasets

Antonio J. Rodriguez-Almeida, Himar Fabelo, Samuel Ortega, Alejandro Deniz, Francisco J. Balea-Fernandez, Eduardo Quevedo, Cristina Soguero-Ruiz, Ana M. Wagner, Gustavo M. Callico

Summary: The increasing prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases has made it important to develop tools for improving their management. Artificial Intelligence algorithms have been successful in early diagnosis, prediction, and analysis in the medical field. However, there are challenges in dealing with medical data, such as the lack of high-quality datasets and the need to maintain patient privacy. Synthetic data generation techniques have emerged as a possible solution. This study develops a framework based on synthetic data generation algorithms and tests it using eight medical datasets. The preservation of data integrity and the maintenance of classification performance are evaluated using statistical metrics and machine learning classifiers.

Evaluation of Synthetic Categorical Data Generation Techniques for Predicting Cardiovascular Diseases and Post-Hoc Interpretability of the Risk Factors

Clara Garcia-Vicente, David Chushig-Muzo, Inmaculada Mora-Jimenez, Himar Fabelo, Inger Torhild Gram, Maja-Lisa Lochen, Conceicao Granja, Cristina Soguero-Ruiz

Summary: This paper investigates the application of oversampling methods in generating synthetic categorical clinical data to improve the predictive performance of machine learning models for identifying risk factors and building models for cardiovascular disease prediction. Experimental results show that GAN-based models can generate high-quality synthetic data and improve the predictive performance of the models. Combining oversampling strategies with linear and nonlinear supervised ML methods further enhances the performance, providing insights into risk factors and facilitating CVD prediction.

Summary: Noncommunicable diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, pose significant health threats in society. Early detection and prevention are crucial for reducing the global burden. This study applies oversampling techniques to improve the identification of risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases. The results show that oversampling and feature selection techniques help enhance the accuracy of cardiovascular disease prediction.

Summary: This study aims to understand the natural history, rate of spontaneous regression, and ideal treatment regimen of patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) and concurrent intracranial aneurysms. The results show that patients with dAVFs have a similar risk of harboring an intracranial aneurysm unrelated to the dAVF (5.3%) compared with the general population (approximately 2%-5%), and only 50% of these aneurysms are intradural.
