IEEEObjective: Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) is a promising tool for revealing crucial cardiac electrical events with diagnostic potential. We propose a novel nonparametric regression framework based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) for ECGI. Methods: The inverse problem was solved by using the regression model trained with body surface potentials (BSP) and corresponding electrograms (EGM). Simulated data as well as experimental data from torso-tank experiments were used as to assess the performance of the proposed method. The robustness of the method to measurement noise and geometric errors were assessed in terms of electrogram reconstruction quality, activation time accuracy, and localization error metrics. The methods were compared with Tikhonov regularization and neural network (NN)-based methods. The resulting mapping functions between the BSPs and EGMs were also used to evaluate the most influential measurement leads. Results: MARS-based method outperformed Tikhonov regularization in terms of reconstruction accuracy and robustness to measurement noise. The effects of geometric errors were remedied to some extent by enriching the training set composition including model errors. The MARS-based method had a comparable performance with NN-based methods, which require the adjustment of many parameters. Conclusion: MARS-based method successfully discovers the inverse mapping functions between the BSPs and EGMs yielding accurate reconstructions, and quantifies the contribution of each BSP lead. Significance: MARS-based method is adaptive, requires fewer parameter adjustments than NN-based methods, and robust to errors. Thus, it can be a feasible data-driven approach for accurately solving inverse imaging problems.

Cell detection using image sensors is a novel and promising technique that can be used for diagnostic applications in medicine. For this purpose, cell detection studies with shadowing method are performed with yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) using an 32×32 complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor that is sensitive to optical illumination. Cells that are placed zero distance from the sensor surface are detected using the image sensor which is illuminated with four fixed leds to main...

In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a high resolution medical imaging technique based on distinguishing tissues according to their nuclear magnetic properties. Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a conductivity imaging technique which reconstructs images of electrical properties, based on their effect on induced magnetic flux density due to externally applied current flow. Both of these techniques are of interest for novel research and development. Simulators help researchers obser...

A method for noninvasive in situ estimation of intensity in ultrasound hyperthermia is presented. The method employs the nonlinear theory of sound propagation in a focused ultrasound hyperthermia system in order to determine the focal field intensity, where the sound intensity levels are relatively high in the focal volume.
A Parametric Estimation Approach to Instantaneous Spectral Imaging
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M (2014-12-01)
Spectral imaging, the simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy of a radiating scene, is a fundamental diagnostic technique in the physical sciences with widespread application. Due to the intrinsic limitation of two-dimensional (2D) detectors in capturing inherently three-dimensional (3D) data, spectral imaging techniques conventionally rely on a spatial or spectral scanning process, which renders them unsuitable for dynamic scenes. In this paper, we present a nonscanning (instantaneous) spectral imaging techn...
