The accurately automatic classification of medical pathological images has always been an important problem in the field of deep learning. However, the traditional manual extraction of features and image classification usually requires in-depth knowledge and more professional researchers to extract and calculate high-quality image features. This kind of operation generally takes a lot of time and the classification effect is not ideal. In order to solve these problems, this study proposes and tests an improved network model DenseNet-201-MSD to accomplish the task of classification of medical pathological images of breast cancer. First, the image is preprocessed, and the traditional pooling layer is replaced by multiple scaling decomposition to prevent overfitting due to the large dimension of the image data set. Second, the BN algorithm is added before the activation function Softmax and Adam is used in the optimizer to optimize performance of the network model and improve image recognition accuracy of the network model. By verifying the performance of the model using the BreakHis dataset, the new deep learning model yields image classification accuracy of 99.4%, 98.8%, 98.2%and 99.4%when applying to four different magnifications of pathological images, respectively. The study results demonstrate that this new classification method and deep learning model can effectively improve accuracy of pathological image classification, which indicates its potential value in future clinical application.

AbstractOne of the challenges with urgent evaluation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the emergency room (ER) is distinguishing between cardiac vs infectious etiologies for their pulmonary findings. We conducted a retrospective study with the collected data of 171 ER patients. ER patient classification for cardiac and infection causes was evaluated with clinical data and chest X-ray image data. We show that a deep-learning model trained with an external image data set can be used to extract image features and improve the classification accuracy of a data set that does not contain enough image data to train a deep-learning model. An analysis of clinical feature importance was performed to identify the most important clinical features for ER patient classification. The current model is publicly available with an interface at the web link: http://nbttranslationalresearch.org/.

We propose a concise approach to facilitate the deep learning model for medical image classification of knee osteoarthritis severity. The characteristics of the input X-ray images are sharpened by a modified 5×5 mask before training and testing in this work. We compare the inference accuracies of two experiments using the same architecture with images sharpened and not sharpened respectively. And we find it tangible that the former performs much better than the latter. This technique could also be helpful when applied onto the edge devices for object detection and image segmentation.

The real cause of breast cancer is very challenging to determine and therefore early detection of the disease is necessary for reducing the death rate due to risks of breast cancer. Early detection of cancer boosts increasing the survival chance up to 8%. Primarily, breast images emanating from mammograms, X-Rays or MRI are analyzed by radiologists to detect abnormalities. However, even experienced radiologists face problems in identifying features like micro-calcifications, lumps and masses, leading to high false positive and high false negative. Recent advancement in image processing and deep learning create some hopes in devising more enhanced applications that can be used for the early detection of breast cancer. In this work, we have developed a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to segment and classify the various types of breast abnormalities, such as calcifications, masses, asymmetry and carcinomas, unlike existing research work, which mainly classified the cancer into benign and malignant, leading to improved disease management. Firstly, a transfer learning was carried out on our dataset using the pre-trained model ResNet50. Along similar lines, we have developed an enhanced deep learning model, in which learning rate is considered as one of the most important attributes while training the neural network. The learning rate is set adaptively in our proposed model based on changes in error curves during the learning process involved. The proposed deep learning model has achieved a performance of 88% in the classification of these four types of breast cancer abnormalities such as, masses, calcifications, carcinomas and asymmetry mammograms.
