Abstract:Introduction Several functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) have been associated with the degradation or remodeling of the network of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Introducing fractal analysis to the field of gastroenterology as a promising data analytics approach to extract key structural characteristics that may provide insightful features for machine learning applications in disease diagnostics. Fractal geometry has advantages over several physically based parameters (or classical metrics) for a… Show more
