The aim of this study was to examine whether additional digital intraoral radiography (DIR) image preprocessing based on textural description methods improves the recognition and differentiation of periapical lesions. (1) DIR image analysis protocols incorporating clustering with the k-means approach (CLU), texture features derived from co-occurrence matrices, first-order features (FOF), gray-tone difference matrices, run-length matrices (RLM), and local binary patterns, were used to transform DIR images derived from 161 input images into textural feature maps. These maps were used to determine the capacity of the DIR representation technique to yield information about the shape of a structure, its pattern, and adequate tissue contrast. The effectiveness of the textural feature maps with regard to detection of lesions was revealed by two radiologists independently with consecutive interrater agreement. (2) High sensitivity and specificity in the recognition of radiological features of lytic lesions, i.e., radiodensity, border definition, and tissue contrast, was accomplished by CLU, FOF energy, and RLM. Detection of sclerotic lesions was refined with the use of RLM. FOF texture contributed substantially to the high sensitivity of diagnosis of sclerotic lesions. (3) Specific DIR texture-based methods markedly increased the sensitivity of the DIR technique. Therefore, application of textural feature mapping constitutes a promising diagnostic tool for improving recognition of dimension and possibly internal structure of the periapical lesions.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate robustness and repeatability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture features in water and tissue phantom test-retest study. Materials and methods Separate water and tissue phantoms were imaged twice with the same protocol in a test-retest experiment using a 1.5-T scanner. Protocols were acquired to favour signal-to-noise ratio and resolution. Forty-six features including first order statistics and second-order texture features were extracted, and repeatability was assessed by calculating the concordance correlation coefficient. Separately, base image noise and resolution were manipulated in an in silico experiment, and robustness of features was calculated by assessing percentage coefficient of variation and linear correlation of features with noise and resolution. These simulation data were compared with the acquired data. Features were classified by their degree (high, intermediate, or low) of robustness and repeatability. Results Eighty percent of the MRI features were repeatable (concordance correlation coefficient > 0.9) in the phantom test-retest experiment. The majority (approximately 90%) demonstrated a strong or intermediate correlation with image acquisition parameter, and 19/46 (41%) and 13/46 (28%) of features were highly robust to noise and resolution, respectively (coefficient of variation < 5%). Agreement between the acquired and simulation data varied, with the range of agreement within feature classes between 11 and 92%. Conclusion Most MRI features were repeatable in a phantom test-retest study. This phantom data may serve as a lower limit of feature MRI repeatability. Robustness of features varies with acquisition parameter, and appropriate features can be selected for clinical validation studies.

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the most common mechanism responsible for a majority of sudden coronary deaths. The precursor lesion of plaque rupture is thought to be a thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), or “vulnerable plaque”. Virtual Histology-Intravascular Ultrasound (VH-IVUS) images are clinically available for visualising colour-coded coronary artery tissue. However, it has limitations in terms of providing clinically relevant information for identifying vulnerable plaque. The aim of this research is to improve the identification of TCFA using VH-IVUS images. To more accurately segment VH-IVUS images, a semi-supervised model is developed by means of hybrid K-means with Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and a minimum Euclidean distance algorithm (KMPSO-mED). Another novelty of the proposed method is fusion of different geometric and informative texture features to capture the varying heterogeneity of plaque components and compute a discriminative index for TCFA plaque, while the existing research on TCFA detection has only focused on the geometric features. Three commonly used statistical texture features are extracted from VH-IVUS images: Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and Modified Run Length (MRL). Geometric and texture features are concatenated in order to generate complex descriptors. Finally, Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), kNN (K-Nearest Neighbour), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are applied to select the best classifier for classifying plaque into TCFA and Non-TCFA. The present study proposes a fast and accurate computer-aided method for plaque type classification. The proposed method is applied to 588 VH-IVUS images obtained from 10 patients. The results prove the superiority of the proposed method, with accuracy rates of 98.61% for TCFA plaque.

Colon or Bowel or Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is commonly determined by diagnosing a sample of colon tissue and further analysed by medical imaging. The colon tissue classification method count on specific changes between texture features extracted from benign and malignant regions. The variations in the image acquisition methods effects the colon tissue analysis. In this paper, an Upgraded Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrices (U-SGLDM) is emphasized to extract textural features. The licensed image set of all applicable types of tissues within colon cancer are used for experimentation. Several texture feature sets are extracted to show the significant differences among the eight colon cancer biopsy images in the image data set. The fractal dimension-Hurst Coefficient is added to U-SGLDM for long range assessment. The Prominence of the analysis evoked in the representation of histopathological image structure over longer periods.

Speckle noise reduction is an important area of research in the field of ultrasound image processing. Several algorithms for speckle noise characterization and analysis have been recently proposed in the area. Synthetic ultrasound images can play a key role in noise evaluation methods as they can be used to generate a variety of speckle noise models under different interpolation and sampling schemes, and can also provide valuable ground truth data for estimating the accuracy of the chosen methods. However, not much work has been done in the area of modelling synthetic ultrasound images, and in simulating speckle noise generation to get images that are as close as possible to real ultrasound images. An important aspect of simulated synthetic ultrasound images is the requirement for extensive quality assessment for ensuring that they have the texture characteristics and gray-tone features of real images. This paper presents texture feature analysis of synthetic ultrasound images using local binary patterns (LBP) and demonstrates the usefulness of a set of LBP features for image quality assessment. Experimental results presented in the paper clearly show how these features could provide an accurate quality metric that correlates very well with subjective evaluations performed by clinical experts.

The aim of study is building new program for processing MRI images using MATLAB and to investigate different breast MRI detection algorithms that inform normal and abnormal scans of MRI. In this research an algorithm is proposed to extract texture feature and inform normal and abnormal scans of MRI. First, the MRI scans are pre- processed by image enhancement, intensity normalization, background segmentation and detection of mirror symmetry of breast. Second, the proposed gray level co- occurrence matrix (GLCM) and gray level run length matrix (GLRLM) methods are used to extract texture features from MRI T2-weighted and STIR images. Finally, these features are classified into normal and abnormal by using long short term memory (LSTM) model. The research will be validated using 326 datasets that downloaded from cancer imaging archive (TCIA). The achieved classification accuracy was 98.80%.

Abstract A dilemma in treating glioblastoma is that MRI after chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoRT) shows areas of presumed tumor growth in up to 50% of patients. These areas can represent true progression (TP), tumor growth with tumors non-responsive to treatment, or pseudoprogression (PP), edema and tumor necrosis with favorable treatment response. On imaging, TP and PP are usually not discernable. Patients in this study undergo six weeks of chemoRT on a combination MRI/RT device, receiving daily MRIs. The goal of this study is to explore the correlation of radiomics features with progression. The tumor lesion and surrounding areas of growth/edema were manually outlined as regions of interest (ROIs) for each daily T2-weighted MRI scan. The ROIs were used to calculate texture features: statistical features based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), the gray-level zone size matrix (GLZSM), the gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM), and the neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM). Each of these matrix classes describe the probability of spatial relationships of gray levels occurring within the ROI. Daily texture features were averaged per week of treatment for each patient. Patient response was retrospectively defined as no progression (NP), TP, or PP. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to identify texture features that correlated most strongly with patient response. Forty texture features were calculated for 12 patients (19 treated, 7 excluded due to no T2 lesion or progression status unknown, 6 NP, 3 TP, 3 PP). There was a trend of more texture features correlating significantly with response in weeks 4-6 of treatment, compared to weeks 1-3. A particular texture feature, GLSZM Small Zone Low Gray-Level Emphasis, showed increasing difference between PP and TP over time, with significant difference during week 6 of treatment (p=0.0495). Future directions include correlating early outcomes with greater numbers of patients and daily multiparametric MRI.

Differential Excitation

Copy-move forgery (CMF) is an established process to copy an image segment and pastes it within the same image to hide or duplicate a portion of the image. Several CMF detection techniques are available; however, better detection accuracy with low feature vector is always substantial. For this, differential excitation component (DEC) of Weber Law descriptor in combination with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach of texture feature extraction for CMFD is proposed. GLCM Texture features are computed in four directions on DEC and this acts as a feature vector for support vector machine classifier. These texture features are more distinguishable and it is validated through other two proposed methods based on discrete wavelet transform-GLCM (DWT-GLCM) and GLCM. Experimentation is carried out on CoMoFoD and CASIA databases to validate the efficacy of proposed methods. Proposed methods exhibit resilience against many post-processing attacks. Comparative analysis with existing methods shows the superiority of the proposed method (DEC-GLCM) with regard to detection accuracy.

The evaluation of breast cancer grades in immunohistochemistry (IHC) slides takes into account various types of visual markers and morphological features of stained membrane regions. Digital pathology algorithms using whole slide images (WSIs) of histology slides have recently been finding several applications in such computer-assisted evaluations. Features that are directly related to biomarkers used by pathologists are generally preferred over the pixel values of entire images, even though the latter has more information content. This paper explores in detail various types of feature measurements that are suitable for the automated scoring of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in histology slides. These are intensity features known as characteristic curves, texture features in the form of uniform local binary patterns (ULBPs), morphological features specifying connectivity of regions, and first-order statistical features of the overall intensity distribution. This paper considers important properties of the above features and outlines methods for reducing information redundancy, maximizing inter-class separability, and improving classification accuracy in the combined feature set. This paper also presents a detailed experimental analysis performed using the aforementioned features on a WSI dataset of IHC stained slides.
