Method and System for Automatic Detection and Segmentation of Tumors and Associated Edema (Swelling) in Magnetic Resonance (Mri) Images

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for segmenting an object represented in one or more input images, each of the input images comprising a plurality of pixels, is presented. And each pixel or a group of pixels is classified based on the measured features of the one or multiple input images and the corresponding template images in accordance with a classification model.

Epidural anesthesia and cancer recurrence rates after radical prostatectomy

TL;DR: No difference was observed between the epidural and control groups in disease-free survival at a median follow-up time of 4.5 years, and there is a need for large randomized controlled trials to determine the ability of epidural analgesia to alter disease recurrence rates following radical prostatectomy.

Segmenting brain tumors with conditional random fields and support vector machines

TL;DR: This paper investigates the tumor segmentation performance of a recent variant of DRF models that takes advantage of the powerful Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method, and indicates that the SVM-based DRFs offer a significant advantage over the other approaches.
