Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical imaging technology has been widely used to generate anatomically precise images of tissue in vivo. However, the quality of medical images can be degraded severely by many existing factors during the acquisition procedure, including stochastic variation, numerous physiological processes, eddy currents, artifacts of magnetic susceptibilities between neighboring tissues, rigid body motion, and nonrigid motion. Recently, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, the combination of advanced technologies in these two fields has begun to provide important clinical information and play an important role in disease diagnosis, staging, treatment, and surgical planning.

Therefore, this upcoming Special Issue of Bioengineering, entitled “Artificial Intelligence in Advanced Medical Imaging”, will focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews involving the processing of computational biomedical image, the information fusion of multimodality medical bioimages, quality evaluation, and biomedical image improvements. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Advanced artificial intelligence-based computational imaging techniques for biomedical imaging, involving the application of few-/zero-shot learning and self-supervised learning for biomedical imaging;
  2. Advanced medical image processing technology based on deep learning, such as denoising, reconstruction, and enhancement;
  3. Accurate assessment methods for biological image quality, including full reference or no reference;
  4. Novel multimodality medical biomedical image fusion method based on artificial intelligence.

Deep learning has profoundly influenced various domains, particularly medical image analysis. Traditional transfer learning approaches in this field rely on models pretrained on domain-specific medical datasets, which limits their generalizability and accessibility. In this study, we propose a novel framework called real-world feature transfer learning, which utilizes backbone models initially trained on large-scale general-purpose datasets such as ImageNet. We evaluate the effectiveness and robustness of this approach compared to models trained from scratch, focusing on the task of classifying pneumonia in X-ray images. Our experiments, which included converting grayscale images to RGB format, demonstrate that real-world-feature transfer learning consistently outperforms conventional training approaches across various performance metrics. This advancement has the potential to accelerate deep learning applications in medical imaging by leveraging the rich feature representations learned from general-purpose pretrained models. The proposed methodology overcomes the limitations of domain-specific pretrained models, thereby enabling accelerated innovation in medical diagnostics and healthcare. From a mathematical perspective, we formalize the concept of real-world feature transfer learning and provide a rigorous mathematical formulation of the problem. Our experimental results provide empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of this approach, laying the foundation for further theoretical analysis and exploration. This work contributes to the broader understanding of feature transferability across domains and has significant implications for the development of accurate and efficient models for medical image analysis, even in resource-constrained settings.

In response to the subjectivity, low accuracy, and high concealment of existing attack behavior prediction methods, a video-based impulsive aggression prediction method that integrates physiological parameters and facial expression information is proposed. This method uses imaging equipment to capture video and facial expression information containing the subject’s face and uses imaging photoplethysmography (IPPG) technology to obtain the subject’s heart rate variability parameters. Meanwhile, the ResNet-34 expression recognition model was constructed to obtain the subject’s facial expression information. Based on the random forest classification model, the physiological parameters and facial expression information obtained are used to predict individual impulsive aggression. Finally, an impulsive aggression induction experiment was designed to verify the method. The experimental results show that the accuracy of this method for predicting the presence or absence of impulsive aggression was 89.39%. This method proves the feasibility of applying physiological parameters and facial expression information to predict impulsive aggression. This article has important theoretical and practical value for exploring new impulsive aggression prediction methods. It also has significance in safety monitoring in special and public places such as prisons and rehabilitation centers. Full article
