Recognition of Abnormal Uptake through 123I-mIBG Scintigraphy Entropy for Paediatric Neuroblastoma Identification
2016
Entropy
Preserved Fulltext
In this paper, we present a computerized method that processes an image and calculates a quantitative measurement considered as its entropy, suitable for the identification of abnormal uptake regions, ...
Over 46 scintigraphies of 22 anonymous patients were tested; the procedure identified 96.7% of regions of abnormal uptake and it showed a low overall false negative rate of 3.3%. ...
Acknowledgments: The use of the scintigraphies for this study was approved by the La Fe Hospital's Biomedical Research Ethics Committee. ...
