Comparison of machine learning strategies for infrared thermography of skin cancer

Objective: The aim of this work was to explore the potential of infrared thermal imaging as an aiding tool for the diagnosis of skin cancer lesions, using artificial intelligence methods. Methods: Thermal parameters of skin tumours were retrieved from thermograms and used as input features for two machine learning based strategies: ensemble learning and deep learning. Results: The deep learning strategy outperf...

A review of infrared thermography as applied to human sexual psychophysiology

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact technique that permits mapping and analysis of the temperature of the body's skin surface. This method has been applied to sexual psychophysiology since the 1980s and its use has been expanding ever since, mainly because it provides several advantages over existing genital response measures. This article presents a review of experimental studies employing IRT to inve...

PET-MRI in Neuroimaging: technique role in Alzheimer Disease

- Hybrid or multimodal imaging has provided excellent opportunities to meet the needs inherent in the management of neurodegenerative diseases, especially in Alzheimer Disease context. PET-MRI equipment for simultaneous data acquisition attempts to address this challenge by bridging the limitations of PET-CT at the brain level and improving the results achieved through a simultaneous real-time combination of qu...

Comparison of different image enhancing techniques for medical thermal images

Medical infrared (IR) images are, like other medical images, sensitive to noise, which affects directly the temperature measurement of the subject. There are several noise removal techniques that have good performance on digital images, but may produce different temperature readings on thermal images. Hundred and twenty different noisy images were selected from a database and after being processed with several ...
