Convolution Properties II01:17

Convolution Properties II

590
The important convolution properties include width, area, differentiation, and integration properties.
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Convolution computations can be simplified by utilizing their inherent properties.
The commutative property reveals that the input and the impulse response of an LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system can be interchanged without affecting the output:

Abdominal Aorta01:25

Abdominal Aorta

2.4K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Improving Translational Accuracy02:07

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.0K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Summary

This study shows that a deep learning model, a fully convolutional neural network (FCNN), effectively segments abdominal organs in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The FCNN outperformed traditional methods, demonstrating its potential for cross-modality medical image analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Abdominal image segmentation is crucial but complicated by anatomical variations.
  • Multi-atlas methods have been standard, but deep learning shows promise.
  • Deep learning has excelled in CT segmentation but not yet widely applied to MRI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) for segmenting abdominal organs in T2-weighted MRI.
  • To compare FCNN performance against a multi-atlas approach on MRI data.
  • To assess deep learning's potential for cross-modality medical image segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Applied an existing FCNN, originally for CT, to T2-weighted MRI scans.
  • Compared FCNN with a multi-atlas method on two datasets: 45 MRIs (liver, spleen, kidneys, stomach) and 138 MRIs (pancreas).
  • Utilized Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) to quantify segmentation accuracy.

Main Results:

  • FCNN achieved high DSC scores: 0.930 (spleen), 0.913 (liver), 0.780 (right kidney), 0.730 (left kidney), and 0.556 (stomach).
  • FCNN significantly outperformed multi-atlas for liver, spleen, right kidney, and stomach segmentation (p < 0.05).
  • On pancreas segmentation, FCNN yielded a median DSC of 0.691 versus 0.287 for multi-atlas.

Conclusions:

  • The FCNN demonstrates strong applicability for abdominal organ segmentation in T2w MRI, even with limited training data.
  • Deep learning models can potentially transcend imaging modalities for segmentation tasks.
  • FCNN offers a promising alternative to traditional methods for abdominal MRI segmentation.
