ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of grayscale intensity histogram to differentiate benign and malignant lesions using a convolutional neural network. Data (200 USG images, 100-malignant, 100-benign) was downloaded from an online access repository. The images were despeckled using ImageJ software and the grayscale intensity histogram values were extracted. In-built neural network pattern recognition application in Matlab R2019b was used to classify the images, which is a two-layer feed-forward network, with sigmoid hidden and softmax output neurons. The positive predictive value of the CNN was 95%. The best performance of 0.078264 was achieved at 36 epochs in the validation set. This study suggests that the grayscale intensity histogram of a USG image is an easy and feasible method to identify malignant lesions through an artificial neural network.
