Biomedical Imaging Essay

Improved Essays
Over the past few decades a lot of biomedical information has been gathered (in the form of images, signals and sequences) and there is a great deal of knowledge that can be gathered from the raw data \cite{manyika2011big}. The biomedical imaging data consists of magnetic resonance image (MRI) \cite{edelman1993magnetic, ogawa1990brain}, radiographic image \cite{hsieh2009computed, chapman1997diffraction}, positron emission tomography \cite{bailey2005positron} and others. Biomedical signaling data includes electroencephalography (EEG) \cite{niedermeyer2005electroencephalography}, electrocorticography (ECoG) \cite{buzsaki2012origin}, electrocardiography (ECG) \cite{marriott1988practical} and others. Deep learning, with its rise since the 2000s, …show more content…
Regarding biomedical imaging, DNNs can be used for anomaly classification \cite{plis2013deep, hua2015computer, suk2013deep}, segmentation \cite{li2015cross}, recognition \cite{xu2015stacked} and brain decoding \cite{van2010neural, koyamada2015deep}. Concerning biomedical signal processing we similarly have anomaly classification \cite{huanhuan2014classification, wulsin2011modeling, turner2014deep, zhao2014deep}, brain decoding and emotion classification \cite{freudenburg2011real, an2014deep, li2013affective, jia2014novel, zheng2015revealing}. There is aslso research on patients suffering from schizophrenia \cite{plis2013deep} and Alzheimer’s disease \cite{taigman2014deepface}. One area that can lead to progress is figuring out how to encode raw data to be fed to the networks, so that DNNs can learn features on its own, instead of being provided by the …show more content…
On one hand, deep learning requires large amounts of data \cite{bengio2009learning} and that can provide some challenges: data can have too much noise and that can sometimes very easily lead to wrong conclusions; there are a lot of very rare diseases, which means the sample size will be small and hard to gather knowledge from; some data can even be restricted to parts of the scientific and research communities due to various reasons. Solutions to these problems mostly consist of pre-training \cite{lopez2013insight, erhan2010does, pan2010survey, deng2009imagenet} and advanced training methods \cite{lee2015boosted,

    type of signals, as EEG, ECOG and EAP, that can be capture from recording blocks. All these signals have their particular properties. This particular work focuses on the recording of extracellular action potentials (EAPs). NRS usually implanted inside the brain, very near to the cortex part so that they can be close proximity of the neurons. Additional advantage for doing this is that it prevents the signal for catching noise and interferences from other…

    I have enjoyed very much the presentation of Joel Selanikio, titled “Big data revolution in healthcare”. First of all, I found his presentation very inspiring. I’m personally huge believer in helping less privileged, less fortunate people. I remember when I was a kid, my school was visited by missionary from Africa. She was talking about heartaches of every day life, including healthcare, especially malaria disease.…

    To improve the outcome of personalised medicine it is necessary to satisfy the urgent need for a broad program of creative approaches to collection and collation data in a Knowledge Network (1, 2) of databases that make molecular, medical, behavioural, and socio-economic data available in comprehensive digital form to scientists, health care workers, patients, and administrators. The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) on big data for better outcomes programme has taken important steps in this direction. However, there is an added need to expand the understanding by prospectively adding data from clinical studies and results from best clinical practice. The accumulated results build a continuously growing base of knowledge and provide the…

    Electroencephalogram (EEG) used to measure abnormalities in the brain which related to electrical activity (Fig.1). This measurement tracks and records brain wave patterns by using electrodes are placed on the scalp, and then signals go to a computer to record the results. Abnormal patterns in EEG indicate seizures and other problems [3][6]. The importance reason for using EEG is to diagnose and show seizure disorders.…

    Descartes Dualism

    In Descartes meditations he argues the mind is a single unified phenomenon. The context of this argument is in favor of Dualism, he argues in favor of it using Liebniz’s “Principle of the Indiscernibility of Identicals”, the principle asserts that for two things to be identical then they must share all of the same properties. Descartes argues that since his body has parts it can be divided, but the mind has no parts and cannot be divided. “For in truth, when I consider the mind, that is, when I consider myself in so far only as I am a thinking thing, I can distinguish in myself no parts, but I very clearly discern that I am somewhat absolutely one and entire;” Descartes(2007).…

    This field of psychology has a relatively new field called cognitive neuroscience which includes the study of physical workings of 9the brain and the nervous system when engaged in memory, thinking, and other cognitive processes. (Ciccarelli & White, 2005.) The neuroscientists that study this field of cognitive perspective use tools that image the structure and activity of the living brain for example, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and positron emission tomography…

    What is a disease? Does a particular disease only exist when it is perceived by an individual or certain number of individuals within a society, tribe or country even though it is something that is physiological? These are questions that I have and the answers can affect the practice of medicine, the individual afflicted with the disease and their family and the representation of the disease itself. In this short essay I attempt to tackle the definition of disease from an art perspective. Now, to arrive at my definition for the category of artwork that represents medical conditions and/or diseases, I begin with defining medical photography (a category we have spent a great amount of time on in class).…

    Bravo, David Agus, who in The New York Times this week raises important points in the continuing debate about the value of medical data and the need for patient privacy. “Mass data can inform medicine like nothing else and save countless lives, including, perhaps, your own,” Agus argues in his Op-Ed. And he’s right. Agus also tells doctors and patients to move past their respective resistance to providing patient data because it delivers tremendous benefits for the future of healthcare delivery.…

The mean-square error begins to increase from its minimum amount if the ANN is trained further. Therefore, wherever the number of weights exceeds the sample size, the early stopping method can be used (Khademi et al. 2015, Jeong and Kim…

    1. a) Nursing informatics is used to inform about what nurses do and how nurses use information to make decisions for patients. Nurses use EHRs to manage patient information (Pritchard, 2015). Nursing informatics allows nurses to remain interconnected with health care professionals from other disciplines, so that information is seamlessly exchanged between nurses and the rest of the health care team (Pritchard, 2015). Nursing informatics is also used to personalize patient care and to inform patients about their care as consumers and keep them involved in their care. Nursing informatics is also used to improve public health by promoting better data collection and bio-surveillance.…
