The findings appear to contradict the belief that such teasing might motivate youth to change their behavior and attempt to lose […]

Evaluation of Enhanced Learning Techniques for Segmenting Ischaemic Stroke Lesions in Brain Magnetic Resonance Perfusion Images Using a Convolutional Neural Network Scheme

Magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging non-invasively measures cerebral perfusion, which describes the blood’s passage through the brain’s vascular network. Therefore it is widely used to assess cerebral ischaemia. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) constitute the state-of-the-art method in automatic pattern recognition and hence, in segmentation tasks. But none of the CNN architectures developed to date have […]
