Drs. Abas, Goceri, and Kus Present Research at International Scholar Research Exposition

Out of more than 1,800 international visiting scholars at the Ohio State University, Dr. Abas of Malaysia and Drs. Goceri and Kus of Turkey were three of thirty-three finalists chosen to present their research at the International Scholar Research Exposition. The exposition recognizes the presence of visiting scholars on campus and their contribution to the university and global community. On November 20,2015, the Opening Reception of the 10th Annual International Scholar Research Exposition was held for the finalists to present their research.  Their posters will be on display during November and December in Bricker Hall.




 

Dr. Abas’s poster was titled “Acne Image Analysis: Lesion Localization and Classification.” His research addressed the assessment of acne and used a computer-assisted image analysis approach to generate region-of-interest map for acne lesions as a preliminary step to count the number of lesions within a specific area. This research would greatly benefit the development of new pharmaceuticals by accurately quantifying and evaluating the severity of acne. More information about his research can be found at https://oia.osu.edu/scholar-research-exposition/research-summaries-2015/3974-acne-image-analysis-lesion-localization-and-classification.html.




Dr. Goceri’s research, “Segmentation and Visualization of Liver and Vessels from Abdominal SPIR MR Images,” focused on segmenting liver and vessels, which is often identified differently by separate radiologists. Her research used a fully-automated segmentation approached that contained an energy function of her design that uses properties of a closed curve to define the liver automatically. This research helps provide precise measurements and analysis of liver and vessels which is of vital importance in pre-evaluation for liver transplantation.  More information about her research can be found at https://oia.osu.edu/scholar-research-exposition/research-summaries-2015/3988-segmentation-and-visualization-of-liver-and-vessels-from-abdominal-spir-mr-images.html.





Dr. Kus’s research, “Detection and Segmentation of Necrosis from Histopathological Slides of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infected Lung Tissue,” focused on developing computer-assisted image analysis methods to detect and segment necrosis on sections of tuberculosis infected guinea pig lungs. Her research segment necrosis regions from the granuloma by classifying the image pixels into necrotic and non-necrotic areas and was done using an integrated framework of feature extraction and a morphological tissue segmentation algorithm. This research has developed algorithms to help understand pulmonary tuberculosis, which will help to better identify and treat infected patients.

Recent publications

The CIA lab has recently had 4 articles published in PLOS One and the Journal of Urology. Automated Staging Of T1 Bladder Cancer Using Digital Pathologic H&E Images: A Deep Learning approach (Journal of Urology). The paper discusses the need for accurately gauging tumor cell intrusion into Lamina Propria in an effort to substage bladder cancer. It explains how transfer learning in conjunction with Convolutional Neural Networks can be used to accurately identify different bladder layers and then compute the distance between tumor nuclei and Lamina Propria. The article is available here:  https://www.jurology.com/article/S0022-5347(18)41148-2/pdf Identifying tumor in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms from Ki67 images using transfer learning (PLOS One). This paper examines a proposed methodology to automatically differentiate between NET and non-tumor regions based on images of Ki67 stained biopsies. It also uses transfer learning to exploit a rich set of features ...

Drs. Goceri, Kus, and Senaras Present at OSUMC Research Day

On April 25th, Drs. Goceri, Kus, and Senaras presented their research at the OSUMC Research Day.  Dr. Evgin Goceri presented “Automatic and Robust Segmentation of Liver and Its Vessels from MR Datasets for Pre-Evaluation of Liver Translation” which proposed a robust and fully automated method for segmenting the liver and its vessels from MR images. Dr. Goceri’s study presented a novel approach to reducing processing time by employing binary regularization of the level set function. The fully-automatic segmentation of liver and its vessels with the proposed method was more efficient than manual approach and the other methods in the literature in terms of processing time and accuracy. Dr. Pelin Kus presented “Segmentation and Quantification of Tissue Necrosis in Tuberculosis” which focuses on how the immune system of patients infected with M. tuberculosis responds by using many types of cells including macrophages that form granulomas within the pulmonary tissue. Segmentati...

Computer’s help in wound image analysis

Computers help in wound image analysis CIALAB’s work in collaboration with the OSUMC Wound Center researchers entitled, “ Computerized Segmentation and Measurement of Chronic Wound Images” has been accepted to the journal of Computers in Biology and Medicine (CBM). The objective of this study is to develop methods to segment, measure and characterize clinically presented chronic wounds from photographic images. The methods were applied to 80 wound images, captured in a clinical setting at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Wound Center, with the ground truth independently generated by the consensus of at least two clinicians. Further details about the paper can be found at the CBM website: www.computersinbiologyandmedicine.com/article/S0010-4825(15)00064-5/abstract
