Brain Imaging01:14

Brain Imaging

703
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

1.8K
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.3K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.7K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Brain Waves01:23

Brain Waves

4.0K
Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.2K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Accurate brain tumor segmentation is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Existing segmentation methods often face challenges with accuracy, speed, and computational cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a semi-automatic system for precise brain tumor segmentation in 3D Magnetic Resonance (MR) images.
  • To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of tumor extraction for clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Noise correction using the SUSAN algorithm and intensity non-uniformity correction via histogram normalization and intensity scaling within a defined region of interest (ROI).
  • Voxel categorization using a multiple-classifier system based on 22 features from T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR images.
  • Performance evaluation using Dice index (DI), sensitivity (SE), and specificity (SP) on simulated and real BraTS 2012 database images.

Main Results:

  • The system achieved high performance metrics: average DI > 0.85, SE > 0.90, SP > 0.98 for simulated data, and DI > 0.80, SE > 0.84, SP > 0.98 for real data.
  • The semi-automatic system demonstrated a 6-fold increase in speed compared to whole-image processing methods.
  • Significant improvement in Dice index (e.g., by 0.31 for low-grade tumors) compared to two state-of-the-art segmentation methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed semi-automatic system offers accurate and efficient brain tumor segmentation suitable for clinical applications.
  • The system's ability to leverage specific features (e.g., 4 features from FLAIR images) and augment pathological information contributes to its effectiveness.
  • The proposed method balances tumor identification accuracy, computational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for medical imaging procedures.
