Primary mediastinal seminoma with 67Gallium total body scan: a case report.
We describe a case in which radionuclide scanning was used for staging and assessing treatment of a germinal neoplasm. Primary mediastinal seminoma is an ectopic manifestation of the not infrequent germinoma. Controversy surrounds the histogenesis of this tumor. Management may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or any combination of these. Because of the rather marked radiosensitivity of the tumor the prognosis generally is favorable. The radio-gallium scan was helpful in guiding and following treatment.
The present study discusses about the new textural feature extraction, its improvement and a comprehensive analysis of our previous Machine Learning based Spatio-Temporal (STML-HAB) Data Mining approach for HAB detection mentioned in Ref. [2]. This study is an elaborative analysis extending our first results presented in Ref. [2]. The additional Wavelet and GLCM textural features helped in improving the performance up to an accuracy of 0.9259 ‘K’ using SeaWiFS sensor data. This is a significant improvement of almost 17% compared to our first results with an accuracy of (0.7513 ‘K’).
