• abstract = "A diagnostic method for protein conformational diseases (PCD) from microscopy images is proposed when such conformational conflicts involve muscular intra-nuclear inclusions (INIs) indicative of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), one variety of PCD. The method combines two techniques: (1) the Histogram Region of Interest Fixed by Thresholds (HRIFT) is designed to capture the colour information of INIs for basic feature extraction; (2) an automated feature synthesis, based on the HRIFT features, is designed to identify OPMD by means of Genetic Programming and the Expectation Maximisation algorithm (GP-EM) for classification improvement. With variations in size, shape, and background structure, a total of 600 microscopic images are analysed for the binary classes of healthy and sick conditions of OPMD. The integrated technique of the approach reveals a sensitivity of 0.9 and an area of 0.961 under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) at a specificity of 0.95. Furthermore, significant improvements in classification accuracy and computational time are demonstrated by comparison with other methods.",
