Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn integrated Framework Based on Texture Features, Cuckoo Search and Relevance Vector Machine for Medical Image Retrieval SystemYogapriya Jaganathan, Ila VennilaAs medical images are widely used in healthcare applications, Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) system is needed for physicians to convey effective decisions to patients and for medical research students to learn imaging characteristics for their extensive research based on visual features. However the performance of the retrieval is restricted due to high feature dimensionality of visual features. To … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 24 Sep 2013 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIMMUNITY LEVEL TO HEPATITIS B VIRUS IN VACCINATED MEDICAL STUDENTSAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Alireza Makarem, Karamatollah Rahmanian, Abdoulhossein MadaniHepatitis B is a wide world disease and more than 1/3 of people in the world are HBs Ag positive. HBV causes chronic hepatitis, acute hepatitis, chronic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in adults and children. This research was done for evaluation of immunogenicity of HBV vaccine with HBs Ab measurement after vaccination. This descriptive cross-sectional study was done on 135 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 19 Jul 2013 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Hybrid Approach Based Medical Image Retrieval System Using Feature Optimized Classification Similarity FrameworkYogapriya Jaganathan, Ila VennilaFor the past few years, massive upgradation is obtained in the pasture of Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) for effective utilization of medical images based on visual feature analysis for the purpose of diagnosis and educational research. The existing medical image retrieval systems are still not optimal to solve the feature dimensionality reduction problem which increases the computational complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 6 Jun 2013 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBooming Medical Tourism and Economic IndicesRamalingam ShanmugamGlobalization in this 21st century unifies nations. The globalization impacts positively to promote trade and services among the nations but it could also harm economic growth and technological innovations in nations as their capital are drained to elsewhere. On its own merits, the globalization is a true manifestation of an open economy. The medical profession is not immune to this … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2013 · 7,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelf Organizing Map Cluster Approach for Wavelet Based Medical Image CompressionS. Sridevi, V. R. Vijayakumar, V. Sutha JebaKumariDigital medical powerful tools for diagnosis, treatment and surgery and plays a vital role in modern healthcare delivery. Large storage capacity is needed for storing these images and for transmitting them. This leads to the strong demand for digital medical image compression and reliable transmission. In this study, we have applied three compression methods to medical images. In all the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Fuzzy Neural Approach for Medical Image RetrievalC. Sriramakrishnan, A. ShanmugamImage retrieval based on a query image is necessary for effective and efficient use the information that is stored in medical image databases. Medical Image Retrieval is difficult as not only the localization and directionality of human visual system is to be considered but also the pathological condition. Image identification and segmentation for feature extraction pose a challenge to image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 8 Sep 2012 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImproving Diagnostic Viewing of Medical Images using Enhancement AlgorithmsHanan Saleh S. Ahmed, Md Jan NordinProblem statement: Various images are low quality and difficultly to detect and extract information. Therefore, the image has to get under a process called image enhancement which contains an aggregation of techniques that look for improving the visual aspect of an image. Medical images are one of the fundamental images, because they are used in more sensitive field which is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 18 Oct 2011 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClinical Assessment of Watermarked Medical ImagesJasni Mohamad Zain, Abdul Rani M. Fauzi, Azian A. AzizProblem statement: Digital watermarking provides security to medical images. Watermarking in Region Of Interest (ROI) however distorts medical images but it is known that the resulting loss of fidelity is visually imperceptible. Approach: Clinical assessment will objectively evaluate the distortion on medical images to see whether or not medical diagnosis is altered. We used 75 medical images consisting of x-rays, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
