Segmentation Of Ultisequence Medical Images Using Random Walks Algorithm And Rough Sets Theory
Segmentasi imej Magnetic Resonance (MR) merupakan satu tugas klinikal yang mencabar. Selalunya, satu jenis imej MR tidak mencukupi untuk memberikan maklumat yang lengkap mengenai sesuatu tisu patologi atau objek visual dari imej
Accurate Magnetic Resonance (MR) image segmentation is a clinically challenging task. More often than not, one type of MRI image is insufficient to provide the complete information about a pathological tissue or a visual object from the imag

Optimal designs of the side sensitive synthetic chart for the coefficient of variation based on the median run length and expected median run length.
The side sensitive synthetic chart was proposed to improve the performance of the synthetic chart to monitor shifts in the coefficient of variation (γ), by incorporating the side sensitivity feature where successive non-conforming samples must fall on the same side of the control limits. The existing side sensitive synthetic- γ chart is only evaluated in terms of the average run length (ARL) and expected average run length (EARL). However, the run length distribution is skewed to the right, hence the actual performance of the chart may be frequently different from what is shown by the ARL and EARL. This paper evaluates the entire run length distribution by studying the percentiles of the run length distribution. It is shown that false alarms frequently happen much earlier than the in-control ARL (ARL0), and small shifts are often detected earlier compared to the ARL1. Subsequently, this paper proposes an alternative design based on the median run length (MRL) and expected median run length (EMRL). The optimal design based on the MRL shows smaller out-of-control MRL (MRL1), which shows a quicker detection of the out-of-control condition, compared to the existing design, while the results from the optimal design based on the EMRL is similar to that of the existing designs. Comparisons with the synthetic-γ chart without side sensitivity shows that side sensitivity reduces the median number of samples required to detect a shift and reduces the variability in the run length. Finally, the proposed designs are implemented on an actual industrial example
