Metrics for evaluating 3D medical image segmentation: analysis, selection, and tool

Abdel Aziz Taha, Allan Hanbury · 11 Aug 2015

BACKGROUND: Medical Image segmentation is an important image processing step. Comparing images to evaluate the quality of segmentation is an essential part of measuring progress in this research area. Some of the challenges in evaluating medical segmentation are: metric selection, the use in the literature of multiple definitions for certain metrics, inefficiency of the metric…

Design and validation of Segment - freely available software for cardiovascular image analysis

Einar Heiberg, Jane Sjögren, Martin Ugander et al. · 11 Jan 2010

BACKGROUND: Commercially available software for cardiovascular image analysis often has limited functionality and frequently lacks the careful validation that is required for clinical studies. We have already implemented a cardiovascular image analysis software package and released it as freeware for the research community. However, it was distributed as a stand-alone application and other researchers could…

Transfer learning for medical image classification: a literature review

Kim Eun Hee, Alejandro Cosa‐Linan, Nandhini Santhanam et al. · 13 Apr 2022

BACKGROUND: Transfer learning (TL) with convolutional neural networks aims to improve performances on a new task by leveraging the knowledge of similar tasks learned in advance. It has made a major contribution to medical image analysis as it overcomes the data scarcity problem as well as it saves time and hardware resources. However, transfer learning…

Tumor volume in subcutaneous mouse xenografts measured by microCT is more accurate and reproducible than determined by 18F-FDG-microPET or external caliper

Mette Munk Jensen, Jesper Tranekjær Jørgensen, Tina Binderup et al. · 16 Oct 2008

BACKGROUND: In animal studies tumor size is used to assess responses to anticancer therapy. Current standard for volumetric measurement of xenografted tumors is by external caliper, a method often affected by error. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if microCT gives more accurate and reproducible measures of tumor size in mice compared…

Signal encoding in magnetic particle imaging: properties of the system function

Jürgen Rahmer, Jürgen Weizenecker, Bernhard Gleich et al. · 1 Apr 2009

BACKGROUND: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new tomographic imaging technique capable of imaging magnetic tracer material at high temporal and spatial resolution. Image reconstruction requires solving a system of linear equations, which is characterized by a "system function" that establishes the relation between spatial tracer position and frequency response. This paper for the first…

BMC Medical Imaging template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Medical Imaging format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Medical Imaging template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Medical Imaging use?
BMC Medical Imaging uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Medical Imaging. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Medical Imaging?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Medical Imaging document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Medical Imaging template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Medical Imaging format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is BMC Medical Imaging?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Medical Imaging PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Medical Imaging template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Medical Imaging template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Medical Imaging template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Medical Imaging PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
