Deep learning plays a key role in medical image processing. One of the applications of deep learning models in this domain is bone fracture detection from X-ray images. Convolutional neural network and its variants are used in wide range of medical image processing applications. MURA Dataset is commonly used in various studies that detect bone fractures and this work also uses that dataset, in specific the Humerus bone radiograph images. The humerus dataset in the MURA dataset contains both images with fracture and without fracture. The image with fracture includes images with metals which are removed in this work. Experimental analysis was made with two variants of convolutional neural network, DenseNet169 Model and the VGG Model. In case of the DenseNet169 model, a model with the pre trained weights of ImageNet and one without it is experimented. Results obtained with these variants of CNN are comparedand it shows that DenseNet169 model that uses pre-trained weights of ImageNet model performs better than the other two models.

The liver is an essential metabolic organ of the human body, and malignant liver tumors seriously affect and threaten human life. The segmentation algorithm for liver and liver tumors is one of the essential branches of computer-aided diagnosis. This paper proposed a two-stage liver and tumor segmentation algorithm based on the convolutional neural network (CNN). In the present study, we used two stages to segment the liver and tumors: liver localization and tumor segmentation. In the liver localization stage, the network segments the liver region, adopts the encoding–decoding structure and long-distance feature fusion operation, and utilizes the shallow features’ spatial information to improve liver identification. In the tumor segmentation stage, based on the liver segmentation results of the first two steps, a CNN model was designed to accurately identify the liver tumors by using the 2D image features and 3D spatial features of the CT image slices. At the same time, we use the attention mechanism to improve the segmentation performance of small liver tumors. The proposed algorithm was tested on the public data set Liver Tumor Segmentation Challenge (LiTS). The Dice coefficient of liver segmentation was 0.967, and the Dice coefficient of tumor segmentation was 0.725. The proposed algorithm can accurately segment the liver and liver tumors in CT images. Compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms, the segmentation results of the proposed algorithm rank the highest in the Dice coefficient.

ObjectivesThis study investigated the usefulness and performance of a two-stage attention-aware convolutional neural network (CNN) for the automated diagnosis of otitis media from tympanic membrane (TM) images.DesignA classification model development and validation study in ears with otitis media based on otoscopic TM images. Two commonly used CNNs were trained and evaluated on the dataset. On the basis of a Class Activation Map (CAM), a two-stage classification pipeline was developed to improve accuracy and reliability, and simulate an expert reading the TM images.Setting and participantsThis is a retrospective study using otoendoscopic images obtained from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in China. A dataset was generated with 6066 otoscopic images from 2022 participants comprising four kinds of TM images, that is, normal eardrum, otitis media with effusion (OME) and two stages of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM).ResultsThe proposed method achieved an overall accuracy of 93.4% using ResNet50 as the backbone network in a threefold cross-validation. The F1 Score of classification for normal images was 94.3%, and 96.8% for OME. There was a small difference between the active and inactive status of CSOM, achieving 91.7% and 82.4% F1 scores, respectively. The results demonstrate a classification performance equivalent to the diagnosis level of an associate professor in otolaryngology.ConclusionsCNNs provide a useful and effective tool for the automated classification of TM images. In addition, having a weakly supervised method such as CAM can help the network focus on discriminative parts of the image and improve performance with a relatively small database. This two-stage method is beneficial to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of otitis media for junior otolaryngologists and physicians in other disciplines.
