The conventional noise-reduction filters tend to blur the edge information while noise is reduced. To address this issue, we developed a supervised nonlinear filter based on an artificial neural network (ANN), called a “neural filter,” for reduction of noise in images. The neural filter is trained with input images and the corresponding teaching images. To reduce noise in images, we created Read more...
In order to gain insight into the internal presentation of a trained neural edge enhancer, we developed an analysis method for the nonlinear kernel of a trained neural edge enhancer. We trained a neural edge enhancer to enhance edges in noisy images. Our analysis method was applied to the trained neural edge enhancer with a five-by-five-pixel input kernel. Six graphs obtained by the analysis, w Read more...
We propose a new edge enhancer based on a modified multilayer neural network, which is called a “neural edge enhancer” (NEE), for enhancing the desired edges clearly from noisy images. The NEE is a supervised edge enhancer: through training with a set of input noisy images and teaching edges, the NEE acquires the function of a desired edge enhancer. The input images are synthesized from noi Read more...
We developed computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) scheme for detection of polyps in CT colonography (CTC) and evaluating our CAD scheme with false-negative polyps in a large multicenter clinical trial in collaboration with Don C. Rockey, M.D., the Southwest Medical Center at the University of Texas. A major challenge in CAD schemes for detection of polyps in CTC is the detection of difficultEpolyps Read more...
