Local Feature Extraction

During the last decade, several works have dealt with computer automatic diagnosis (CAD) of masses in digital mammograms. Generally, the main difficulty remains the detection of masses. This work proposes an efficient methodology for mass detection based on a new local feature extraction. Local binary pattern (LBP) operator and its variants proposed by Ojala are a powerful tool for textures classification. However, it has been proved that such operators are not able to model at their own texture masses. We propose in this paper a new local pattern model named gray level and local difference (GLLD) where we take into consideration absolute gray level values as well as local difference as local binary features. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbors (kNNs) are, then, used for classifying masses from nonmasses, illustrating better performance of ANN classifier. We have used 1000 regions of interest (ROIs) obtained from the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM). The area under the curve of the corresponding approach has been found to beAz=0.95for the mass detection step. A comparative study with previous approaches proves that our approach offers the best performances.

This chapter explores diagnosis of the breast tissues as normal, benign, or malignant in digital mammography, using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). System for the early diagnosis of breast cancer can be used to assist radiologists in mammographic mass detection and classification. This chapter presents an evaluation about performance of extracted features, using gray-level co-occurrence matrix applied to all detailed coefficients. The nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) of the region of interest (ROI) of a mammogram were used to be decomposed in several levels. Detecting masses is more difficult than detecting microcalcifications due to the similarity between masses and background tissue such as F) fatty, G) fatty-glandular, and D) dense-glandular. To evaluate the system of classification in which k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) used the accuracy for classifying the mammograms of MIAS database between normal and abnormal. The accuracy measures through the classifier were 94.12% and 88.89% sequentially by SVM and KNN with NSCT.

Cad System

It is important to detect breast cancer as early as possible. In this manuscript, a new methodology for classifying breast cancer using deep learning and some segmentation techniques are introduced. A new computer aided detection (CAD) system is proposed for classifying benign and malignant mass tumors in breast mammography images. In this CAD system, two segmentation approaches are used. The first approach involves determining the region of interest (ROI) manually, while the second approach uses the technique of threshold and region based. The deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) is used for feature extraction. A well-known DCNN architecture named AlexNet is used and is fine-tuned to classify two classes instead of 1,000 classes. The last fully connected (fc) layer is connected to the support vector machine (SVM) classifier to obtain better accuracy. The results are obtained using the following publicly available datasets (1) the digital database for screening mammography (DDSM); and (2) the Curated Breast Imaging Subset of DDSM (CBIS-DDSM). Training on a large number of data gives high accuracy rate. Nevertheless, the biomedical datasets contain a relatively small number of samples due to limited patient volume. Accordingly, data augmentation is a method for increasing the size of the input data by generating new data from the original input data. There are many forms for the data augmentation; the one used here is the rotation. The accuracy of the new-trained DCNN architecture is 71.01% when cropping the ROI manually from the mammogram. The highest area under the curve (AUC) achieved was 0.88 (88%) for the samples obtained from both segmentation techniques. Moreover, when using the samples obtained from the CBIS-DDSM, the accuracy of the DCNN is increased to 73.6%. Consequently, the SVM accuracy becomes 87.2% with an AUC equaling to 0.94 (94%). This is the highest AUC value compared to previous work using the same conditions.

We aimed to evaluate whether radiomics analysis based on gray-scale ultrasound (US) can predict distant metastasis of follicular thyroid cancer (FTC). We retrospectively included 35 consecutive FTCs with distant metastases and 134 FTCs without distant metastasis. We extracted a total of 60 radiomics features derived from the first order, shape, gray-level cooccurrence matrix, and gray-level size zone matrix features using US imaging. A radiomics signature was generated using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and was used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier in five-fold cross-validation. The SVM classifier showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 on average on the test folds. Age, size, widely invasive histology, extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastases on pathology, nodule-in-nodule appearance, marked hypoechogenicity, and rim calcification on the US were significantly more frequent among FTCs with distant metastasis compared to those without metastasis (p < 0.05). Radiomics signature and widely invasive histology were significantly associated with distant metastasis on multivariate analysis (p < 0.01 and p = 0.003). The classifier using the results of the multivariate analysis showed an AUC of 0.93. The radiomics signature from thyroid ultrasound is an independent biomarker for noninvasively predicting distant metastasis of FTC.

This paper presents a novel technique for the classification of suspicious areas in digital mammograms. The proposed technique is based on clustering of input data into numerous clusters and amalgamating them with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The technique is called multi-cluster support vector machine (MCSVM) and is designed to provide a fast converging technique with good generalization abilities leading to an improved classification as a benign or malignant class. The proposed MCSVM technique has been evaluated on data from the Digital Database of Screening Mammography (DDSM) benchmark database. The experimental results showed that the proposed MCSVM classifier achieves better results than standard SVM. A paired t-test and Anova analysis showed that the results are statistically significant.

Background: Automatic detection and classification of breast masses in mammograms are still challenging tasks. Today, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems are being developed to assist radiologists in interpreting mammograms. Objectives: This study aimed to provide a novel method for automatic segmentation and classification of masses in mammograms to help radiologists make an accurate diagnosis. Materials and Methods: For an efficient mass diagnosis in mammograms, we proposed an automatic scheme to perform both mass detection and classification. First, a combination of several image enhancement algorithms, including contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), guided imaging, and median filtering, was investigated to enhance the visual features of breast area and increase the accuracy of segmentation outcomes. Second, the density of discrete wavelet coefficient density (DDWCs), based on the quincunx lifting scheme (QLS), was proposed to find suspicious mass regions or regions of interest (ROIs). Finally, mass lesions that appeared in the mammogram were classified into four categories of benign, probably benign, malignant, and probably malignant, based on the morphological shape. The proposed method was evaluated among 1593 images from the Curated Breast Imaging Subset-Digital Database for Screening Mammography (CBIS-DDSM) dataset. Results: The experimental results revealed that the suspected region localization had 100% sensitivity, with a mean of 6.4 ± 4.5 false positive (FP) detections per image. Moreover, the results showed an overall accuracy of 85.9% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.901 for the mass classification algorithm. Conclusion: The present results showed the comparable performance of our proposed method to that of the state-of-the-art methods.

By analyzing the gray level features of transition region, a new underwater image transition region extraction method based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented. At first, a vector is constructed to fully describe the transition region, which includes local complexity, local difference and neighborhood homogeneity. Then, SVM is applied to train and classify the set of feature vectors, so that the transition region of the underwater image is extracted. Finally, the segmentation threshold is determined by mean of the histogram of the transition region, and the binary result was yielded. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a better transition region extraction and segmentation performance, and automatically select the optimal threshold for transition region extraction.

Background: The aim of this study is to explore an objective approach that aids the diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BD), based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) data which are analyzed using artificial intelligence. Methods: Structural analyses of nine layers of the retina were analyzed in 17 type I BD patients and 42 controls, according to the areas defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart. The most discriminating variables made up the feature vector of several automatic classifiers: Gaussian Naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbors and support vector machines. Results: BD patients presented retinal thinning affecting most layers, compared to controls. The retinal thickness of the parafoveolar area showed a high capacity to discriminate BD subjects from healthy individuals, specifically for the ganglion cell (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.82) and internal plexiform (AUC = 0.83) layers. The best classifier showed an accuracy of 0.95 for classifying BD versus controls, using as variables of the feature vector the IPL (inner nasal region) and the INL (outer nasal and inner inferior regions) thickness. Conclusions: Our patients with BD present structural alterations in the retina, and artificial intelligence seem to be a useful tool in BD diagnosis, but larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.

The segmentation and detection of brain pathologies in medical images is an indispensible step. This helps the radiologist to diagnose a variety of brain deformity and helps in the set up for a suitable treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a significant character in the research area of neuroscience. The proposed work is a study and probing of different classification techniques used for automated detection and segmentation of brain tumor from MRI in the field of machine learning. This paper try to present the feature extraction from raw MRI and fed the same to four classifier named as, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This mechanism was done in various stages for Computer Aided Detection System. In the preliminary stage the pre-processing and post-processing of MR image enhancement is done. This was done as the processed image is more likely suitable for the analysis. Then the k-means clustering is used to sectioning the MRI by applied mean gray level method. In the subsequent stage, statistical feature analysis were done, the features were computed using Haralick’s equation for feature based on the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. Feature chosen dependent on tumor region, location, periphery, and color from the sectioned image is then classified by applying the classification techniques. In the third stage SVM, DT, ANN, and KNN classifiers were used for diagnoses. The performances of the classifiers are tested and evaluated successfully.

BACKGROUND controlling the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil is considered a challenge of continental proportions due to the high population and urban density, weak implementation and maintenance of social distancing strategies, and limited testing capabilities. OBJECTIVE to contribute to addressing such a challenge, we present the implementation and evaluation of supervised Machine Learning (ML) models to assist the COVID-19 detection in Brazil based on early-stage symptoms. METHODS firstly, we conducted data preprocessing and applied the Chi-squared test in a Brazilian dataset, mainly composed of early-stage symptoms, to perform statistical analyses. Afterward, we implemented ML models using the Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithms. We evaluated the ML models using precision, accuracy score, recall, the area under the curve, and the Friedman and Nemenyi tests. Based on the comparison, we grouped the top five ML models and measured feature importance. RESULTS the MLP model presented the highest mean accuracy score, with more than 97.85%, when compared to GBM (> 97.39%), RF (> 97.36%), DT (> 97.07%), XGBoost (> 97.06%), KNN (> 95.14%), and SVM (> 94.27%). Based on the statistical comparison, we grouped MLP, GBM, DT, RF, and XGBoost, as the top five ML models, because the evaluation results are statistically indistinguishable. The ML models` importance of features used during predictions varies from gender, profession, fever, sore throat, dyspnea, olfactory disorder, cough, runny nose, taste disorder, and headache. CONCLUSIONS supervised ML models effectively assist the decision making in medical diagnosis and public administration (e.g., testing strategies), based on early-stage symptoms that do not require advanced and expensive exams.
