Objective This study aims to analyze the role of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in
cytopathology. More specifically, it aims to highlight the importance of employing ANNs in …

Cytologic screening has been widely used for detecting the cervical cancers. In this study, a
semiautomatic PC-based cellular image analysis system was developed for segmenting …

Respiratory assessment of children with asthma or bronchiolitis is problematic because both
the components of the assessment and their relative importance vary among care providers …

Introduction: There are countless clinical respiratory scales for acute dyspnoea. Most
healthcare professionals choose one based on previous personal experience or following …

Here we show that the surface of human cervical epithelial cells demonstrates substantially
different fractal behavior when the cell becomes cancerous. Analyzing the adhesion maps of …

Accurate classification of Pap smear images becomes the challenging task in medical image
processing. This can be improved in two ways. One way is by selecting suitable well defined …

Previously, the analysis of atomic force microscopy (AFM) images allowed us to distinguish
normal from cancerous/precancerous human epithelial cervical cells using only the fractal …

We used AFM HarmoniX modality to analyse the surface of individual human cervical
epithelial cells at three stages of progression to cancer, normal, immortal (pre-malignant) …

Cytologic screening has been widely used for controlling the prevalence of cervical cancer.
Errors from sampling, screening and interpretation, still concealed some unpleasant results …

Fractal analysis of the cell surface is a rather sensitive method which has been recently
introduced to characterize cell progression toward cancer. The surface of fixed and freeze …
