Liver Lesions

Introduction: In the last decade one of the main reasons for people mortality and disability is liver diseases. Early detection of these diseases can help adopt appropriate treatment methods. Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive method for visualizing tissue specification and liver lesions detection which its resolution is lower than CT and MRI images. Precise determination of liver tissue lesions and progression degree of disease is possible with advanced computer techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANN) from medical images. In this paper, a classification-based method is presented to identify and diagnose liver lesions using the Gabor wavelet features and edge detection. In this method, the vector of features from healthy and damaged tissues is trained to the network based on Gabor filters. Then the suspected cases of tissue lesions in various liver diseases are identified by features extraction of entry images. After that, the edge detection technique is implemented and the internal points of the edge are tested as an inputs of a neural network which determine the healthy and unhealthy liver tissues. Methods: Image features are extracted and processed by Gabor wavelet. Also the ANN is used to liver disease classification based on the images features. The forward multilayer perceptron neural network is organized with three layers of input, hidden and output. The training of this network is done with back propagation method and all of the data include "healthy tissues" and "damaged tissues" of the liver are collected in a large cellular array. Furthermore, an edge detection technique is used to indicate the points where the intensity of the light changes sharply. The sharp changes in image characteristics are usually representative of important events and changes in environments characteristics. Results: The results of the implementation indicate a significant reduction in processing time of liver ultrasound images and also increase the precision and accuracy of liver lesions detection (approximately 5%) among different classified groups of hepatic patients compared with the similar image processing methods. In the proposed method, the total time of operations include feature extraction, image processing, lesions detection and diagnosis of the disease has been decreased by reduction of the number of examined points. In addition, an edge detection technique had been used to diagnose the size of damaged tissues in various liver diseases, which helps improve the early detection of tissue lesions because of reduction of the checking domain of points. Conclusion: In this paper, a new method was presented to identify liver tissue lesions. Gabor wavelet method is employed to extract the features of the liver ultrasound images. These wavelets provide the context to understand the images frequency and their analysis in the area of the space, and given their great advantage, which is slow changes in the frequency domain, it is an appropriate filter to extract the image features. Then, the extracted features of the ultrasound images of various liver patients are stored to train a neural network, and finally the image processing method is performed to identify the healthy and damaged tissues and also to diagnose the type of disease. The search scope of problem is minimized as the input of the neural network to find the liver damaged tissue by the edge detection technique which is lead to errors reduction in identifying the tissue damages, increasing the detection speed of these lesions, and diagnosing the disease as well as determining the damage degree of liver.

AbstractIn recent years, the success of deep learning in natural scene image processing boosted its application in the analysis of remote sensing images. In this paper, we applied Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. We improve the Encoder- Decoder CNN structure SegNet with index pooling and U-net to make them suitable for multi-targets semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. The results show that these two models have their own advantages and disadvantages on the segmentation of different objects. In addition, we propose an integrated algorithm that integrates these two models. Experimental results show that the presented integrated algorithm can exploite the advantages of both the models for multi-target segmentation and achieve a better segmentation compared to these two models.

This article describes how images could be forged using different techniques, and the most common forgery is copy-move forgery, in which a part of an image is duplicated and placed elsewhere in the same image. This article describes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method to accurately localize the tampered regions, which combines color filter array (CFA) features. The CFA interpolation algorithm introduces the correlation and consistency among the pixels, which can be easily destroyed by most image processing operations. The proposed CNN method can effectively distinguish the traces caused by copy-move forgeries and some post-processing operations. Additionally, it can utilize the classification result to guide the feature extraction, which can enhance the robustness of the learned features. This article, per the authors, tests the proposed method in several experiments. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the method on different forgeries and quantifies its robustness and sensitivity.

Scoliosis Screening

Introduction: Scoliosis, an excessive curvature of the spine, affects approximately 1 in 1,000 individuals. As a result, there have formerly been implementations of mandatory scoliosis screening procedures. Screening programs are no longer widely used as the harms often outweigh the benefits; it causes many adolescents to undergo frequent diagnosis X-ray procedure This makes spinal ultrasounds an ideal substitute for scoliosis screening in patients, as it does not expose them to those levels of radiation. Spinal curvatures can be accurately computed from the location of spinal transverse processes, by measuring the vertebral angle from a reference line [1]. However, ultrasound images are less clear than x-ray images, making it difficult to identify the spinal processes. To overcome this, we employ deep learning using a convolutional neural network, which is a powerful tool for computer vision and image classification [2]. Method: A total of 2,752 ultrasound images were recorded from a spine phantom to train a convolutional neural network. Subsequently, we took another recording of 747 images to be used for testing. All the ultrasound images from the scans were then segmented manually, using the 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org) software. Next, the dataset was fed through a convolutional neural network. The network used was a modified version of GoogLeNet (Inception v1), with 2 linearly stacked inception models. This network was chosen because it provided a balance between accurate performance, and time efficient computations. Results: Deep learning classification using the Inception model achieved an accuracy of 84% for the phantom scan.  Conclusion: The classification model performs with considerable accuracy. Better accuracy needs to be achieved, possibly with more available data and improvements in the classification model.  Acknowledgements: G.

Edge Detection Method

Research in the field of digital image processing (DIP) has increased in the current scenario. Edge detection of digital images is considered as an important area of research in DIP. Detecting edges in different digital images accurately is a challenging work in DIP. Different methods have been introduced by different researchers to detect the edges of images. However, no method works well under all conditions. In this chapter, an edge detection method is proposed to detect the edges of gray scale and color images. This method focuses on the combination of Canny, mathematical morphological, and Sobel (CMS) edge detection operators. The output of the proposed method is produced using matrix laboratory (MATLAB) R2015b and compared with Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG), Canny, and mathematical morphological edge detection operators. The experimental results show that the proposed method works better as compared to other existing methods in detecting the edges of images.

The chapter focuses on application of digital image processing and deep learning for analyzing the occurrence of malaria from the medical reports. This approach is helpful in quick identification of the disease from the preliminary tests which are carried out in a person affected by malaria. The combination of deep learning has made the process much advanced as the convolutional neural network is able to gain deeper insights from the medical images of the person. Since traditional methods are not able to detect malaria properly and quickly, by means of convolutional neural networks, the early detection of malaria has been possible, and thus, this process will open a new door in the world of medical science.
