Medical image segmentation plays a vital role in disease diagnosis and analysis. However, data-dependent difficulties such as low contrast, noisy background, complicated objects of interest render the problem challenging. These diminish dense prediction make it tough for known approaches to explore data-specific attributes robust feature extraction. In this paper, we study medical by focusing on extraction achieve improved prediction. We propose new deep convolutional neural network (CNN),...
Background: Today's machine-learning based dermatologic research has largely focused on pigmented/non-pigmented lesions concerning skin cancers. However, studies machine-learning-aided diagnosis of depigmented non-melanocytic lesions, which are more difficult to diagnose by unaided eye, very few. Objective: We aim assess the performance deep learning methods for diagnosing vitiligo deploying Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and comparing their accuracy with that human raters different...
Accurate vessel segmentation in retinal images is vital for retinopathy diagnosis and analysis. However, existence of very thin vessels low image contrast along with pathological conditions (e.g., capillary dilation or microaneurysms) render the task difficult. In this work, we present a novel approach focusing on improving segmentation. We develop deep convolutional neural network (CNN), which exploits specific characteristics input data to use supervision, improved accuracy. particular,...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for biomedical image analysis are often of very large size, resulting in high memory requirement and latency operations.

From diagnosing cardiovascular diseases to analyzing the progression of diabetic retinopathy, accurate retinal artery/vein (A/V) classification is critical. Promising approaches for A/V classification, ranging from conventional graph based methods recent convolutional neural network (CNN) models, have been known. However, inability traditional utilize deep hierarchical features extracted by CNNs and limitations current CNN incorporate vessel topology information hinder their effectiveness....
Compression is a standard procedure for making convolutional neural networks (CNNs) adhere to some specific computing resource constraints.

Medical image segmentation using deep neural networks has been highly successful. However, the effectiveness of these is often limited by inadequate dense prediction and inability to extract robust features. To achieve refined prediction, we propose densely decoded (ddn), selectively introducing 'crutch' network connections. Such connections in each upsampling stage decoder (1) enhance target localization incorporating high resolution features from encoder, (2) improve facilitating...
