Lesion detection involves wavelet transform zero crossings utilization as an initialization step to the Markov random field model toward the lesion contour extraction. After FLL detection across frames, time intensity curve (TIC) is computed which provides the contrast agents\u2019 behavior at all vascular phases with respect to adjacent parenchyma for each patient. From each TIC, eight features were automatically calculated and employed into the support vector machines (SVMs) classification algorithm in the design of the image analysis model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With regard to FLLs detection accuracy, all lesions detected had an average overlap value of 0.89 \u00b1 0.16 with manual segmentations for all CEUS frame\u2010subsets included in the study. Highest classification accuracy from the SVM model was 90.3%, misdiagnosing three benign and two malignant FLLs with sensitivity and specificity values of 93.1% and 86.9%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proposed quantification system that employs FLLs detection and classification algorithms may be of value to physicians as a second opinion tool for avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1118\/1.4921753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,10]],"date-time":"2015-06-10T14:26:47Z","timestamp":1433946407000},"page":"3948-3959","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["A new automated quantification algorithm for the detection and evaluation of focal liver lesions with contrast\u2010enhanced ultrasound"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Ilias","family":"Gatos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stavros","family":"Tsantis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stavros","family":"Spiliopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Skouroliakou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Theotokas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pavlos","family":"Zoumpoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John D.","family":"Hazle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George C.","family":"Kagadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.24199"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s\u20102007\u2010963785"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-59957-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cag.2010.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2008.10.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.11101866"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s\u20100029\u20101245649"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2322031401"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1118\/1.2900109"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TMI.2008.922695"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"N.
