Deep Neural Networks have offered numerous innovative solutions to brain-related diseases including Alzheimer’s. However, there are still a few standpoints in terms of diagnosis and planning that can be transformed via quantum Machine Learning (QML). In this study, we present hybrid classical–quantum machine learning model for the detection Alzheimer’s using 6400 labeled MRI scans with two classes. Hybrid transfer is used, which makes it possible optimally pre-process complex...

Artificial intelligence is serving as an impetus in digital health, clinical support, and health informatics for informed patient's outcome. Previous studies only consider classification accuracies of cardiotocographic (CTG) datasets disregard computational time, which a relevant parameter environment. This paper proposes modified deep neural algorithm to classify untapped pathological suspicious CTG recordings with the desired time complexity. In our newly developed algorithm, AlexNet...

Heart failure (HF) is a multi-faceted, complex clinical syndrome characterized by significant morbidity, high mortality rate, reduced quality of life, and rapidly increasing healthcare costs. A larger proportion these costs comprise both ambulatory emergency department visits, as well hospital admissions. Despite the methods used telehealth (TH) to improve self-care patient outcomes remain poor. HF management associated with numerous challenges, such conflicting evidence from trials,...

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) with a linear-array-based probe can provide convenient means of the human microcirculation within its native structural context and adds functional information. PAI using multielement linear transducer array combined multichannel collecting system was used for in vivo volumetric blood microcirculation, total concentration hemoglobin (HbT), oxygen saturation (sO2) tissue. Three-dimensional (3-D) PA ultrasound (US) scans were acquired from forearm skin by linearly...

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) prioritize pixel-level attributes over capturing the entire image distribution which is critical in synthesis. To address this challenge, we propose (DSCLPGAN) a dual-stream generator coupled with contrastive latent projection (CLP) for robust augmentation of MRI images. The dual- stream our architecture incorporates two specialized processing pathways: one dedicated to local feature variation modeling, while other captures global structural...
