Abstract Corneal opacities are an important cause of blindness, and its major etiology is infectious keratitis. Slit-lamp examinations are commonly used to determine the causative pathogen; however, their diagnostic accuracy is low even for experienced ophthalmologists. To characterize the “face” of an infected cornea, we have adapted a deep learning architecture used for facial recognition and applied it to determine a probability score for a specific pathogen causing keratitis. To record the diverse features and mitigate the uncertainty, batches of probability scores of 4 serial images taken from many angles or fluorescence staining were learned for score and decision level fusion using a gradient boosting decision tree. A total of 4306 slit-lamp images and 312 images obtained by internet publications on keratitis by bacteria, fungi, acanthamoeba, and herpes simplex virus (HSV) were studied. The created algorithm had a high overall accuracy of diagnosis, e.g., the accuracy/area under the curve (AUC) for acanthamoeba was 97.9%/0.995, bacteria was 90.7%/0.963, fungi was 95.0%/0.975, and HSV was 92.3%/0.946, by group K-fold validation, and it was robust to even the low resolution web images. We suggest that our hybrid deep learning-based algorithm be used as a simple and accurate method for computer-assisted diagnosis of infectious keratitis.

Due to the complexity of medical images, traditional medical image classification methods have been unable to meet the actual application needs. In recent years, the rapid development of deep learning theory has provided a technical approach for solving medical image classification. However, deep learning has the following problems in the application of medical image classification. First, it is impossible to construct a deep learning model with excellent performance according to the characteristics of medical images. Second, the current deep learning network structure and training strategies are less adaptable to medical images. Therefore, this paper first introduces the visual attention mechanism into the deep learning model so that the information can be extracted more effectively according to the problem of medical images, and the reasoning is realized at a finer granularity. It can increase the interpretability of the model. Additionally, to solve the problem of matching the deep learning network structure and training strategy to medical images, this paper will construct a novel multiscale convolutional neural network model that can automatically extract high-level discriminative appearance features from the original image, and the loss function uses the Mahalanobis distance optimization model to obtain a better training strategy, which can improve the robust performance of the network model. The medical image classification task is completed by the above method. Based on the above ideas, this paper proposes a medical classification algorithm based on a visual attention mechanism-multiscale convolutional neural network. The lung nodules and breast cancer images were classified by the method in this paper. The experimental results show that the accuracy of medical image classification in this paper is not only higher than that of traditional machine learning methods but also improved compared with other deep learning methods, and the method has good stability and robustness.

Abstract With the rapid development of modern medical science and technology, medical image classification has become a more and more challenging problem. However, in most traditional classification methods, image feature extraction is difficult, and the accuracy of classifier needs to be improved. Therefore, this paper proposes a high-accuracy medical image classification method based on deep learning, which is called hybrid CQ-SVM. Specifically, we combine the advantages of convolutional neural network (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM), and integrate the novel hybrid model. In our scheme, quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm (QPSO) is adopted to set its parameters automatically for solving the SVM parameter setting problem, CNN works as a trainable feature extractor and SVM optimized by QPSO performs as a trainable classifier. This method can automatically extract features from original medical images and generate predictions. The experimental results show that this method can extract better medical image features, and achieve higher classification accuracy.

Image classification is central to the big data revolution in medicine. Improved information processing methods for diagnosis and classification of digital medical images have shown to be successful via deep learning approaches. As this field is explored, there are limitations to the performance of traditional supervised classifiers. This paper outlines an approach that is different from the current medical image classification tasks that view the issue as multi-class classification. We performed a hierarchical classification using our Hierarchical Medical Image classification (HMIC) approach. HMIC uses stacks of deep learning models to give particular comprehension at each level of the clinical picture hierarchy. For testing our performance, we use biopsy of the small bowel images that contain three categories in the parent level (Celiac Disease, Environmental Enteropathy, and histologically normal controls). For the child level, Celiac Disease Severity is classified into 4 classes (I, IIIa, IIIb, and IIIC).

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), deep learning has increasingly become a research hotspot in various fields, such as medical image classification. Traditional deep learning models use Bilinear Interpolation when processing classification tasks of multi-size medical image dataset, which will cause the loss of information of the image, and then affect the classification effect. In response to this problem, this work proposes a solution for an adaptive size deep learning model. First, according to the characteristics of the multi-size medical image dataset, the optimal size set module is proposed in combination with the unpooling process. Next, an adaptive deep learning model module is proposed based on the existing deep learning model. Then, the model is fused with the size fine-tuning module used to process multi-size medical images to obtain a solution of the adaptive size deep learning model. Finally, the proposed solution model is applied to the pneumonia CT medical image dataset. Through experiments, it can be seen that the model has strong robustness, and the classification effect is improved by about 4% compared with traditional algorithms.
