scholarly journals Deep Learning Based Depthwise Separable Model For Effective Diagnosis And Classification of Lung Ct Images

Lung cancer is a serious illness which leads to increased mortality rate globally. The identification of lung cancer at the beginning stage is the probable method of improving the survival rate of the patients. Generally, Computed Tomography (CT) scan is applied for finding the location of the tumor and determines the stage of cancer. Existing works has presented an effective diagnosis classification model for CT lung images. This paper designs an effective diagnosis and classification model for CT lung images. The presented model involves different stages namely pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The initial stage includes an adaptive histogram based equalization (AHE) model for image enhancement and bilateral filtering (BF) model for noise removal. The pre-processed images are fed into the second stage of watershed segmentation model for effectively segment the images. Then, a deep learning based Xception model is applied for prominent feature extraction and the classification takes place by the use of logistic regression (LR) classifier. A comprehensive simulation is carried out to ensure the effective classification of the lung CT images using a benchmark dataset. The outcome implied the outstanding performance of the presented model on the applied test images.

Early recognition and classification of pulmonary nodules by the use of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools finds useful to reduce the death rate due to the illness of lung cancer. This paper devises a new CAD tool utilizing a segmentation based classification process for lung CT images. Initially, the input CT images are pre-processed by image enhancement and noise removal process. Then, watershed segmentation model is employed for the segmentation of the pre-processed images. Subsequently, the feature extraction process is carried out using Xecption model and random forest (RF) classifier is used of the identification of lung CT images as normal, benign or malignant. The use of RF model results to effective classification of the applied images. This model undergoes extensive experimentation against a benchmark lung CT image dataset and the results are investigated under several aspects. The obtained outcome pointed out the significant performance of the presented model over the compared methods.

Earlier identification of brain tumor (BT) is essential to increase the survival rate of the patients. The commonly used imaging technique for BT diagnosis is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Automated BT classification model is required for assisting the radiologists to save time and enhance efficiency. The classification of BT is difficult owing to the non-uniform shapes of tumors and location of tumors in the brain. Therefore, deep learning (DL) models can be employed for the effective identification, prediction, and diagnosis of diseases. In this view, this paper presents an automated BT diagnosis using rat swarm optimization (RSO) with deep learning based capsule network (DLCN) model, named RSO-DLCN model. The presented RSO-DLCN model involves bilateral filtering (BF) based preprocessing to enhance the quality of the MRI. Besides, non-iterative grabcut based segmentation (NIGCS) technique is applied to detect the affected tumor regions. In addition, DLCN model based feature extractor with RSO algorithm based parameter optimization processes takes place. Finally, extreme learning machine with stacked autoencoder (ELM-SA) based classifier is employed for the effective classification of BT. For validating the BT diagnostic performance of the presented RSO-DLCN model, an extensive set of simulations were carried out and the results are inspected under diverse dimensions. The simulation outcome demonstrated the promising results of the RSO-DLCN model on BT diagnosis with the sensitivity of 98.4%, specificity of 99%, and accuracy of 98.7%.

Lung cancer is a serious illness affects people all over the globe. To increase the survival rate of patients affected by lung cancer, in advance recognition of lung cancer with effective treatments is important. This study introduces a new deep learning (DL) based feature extraction and classification technique for CT lung images. A DL model using Coding Network (CN) is presented for the extraction of high-level features and classical features. Initially, the convolution neural network is trained as a coding network and the actual pixels are coded into feature vectors for representing the high-level concepts for classification. Next, an extraction of chosen classical features takes place depending upon background knowledge of lung CT images. In addition, an automatic feature fusion takes place to avoid annoying parameter choice. Besides, support vector machine (SVM) model is employed for classify CT lung images in an effective way. For experimentation, a benchmark dataset is utilized to appraise the outcome of the presented CN-SVM model and is validated under several dimensions.

Deep Learning-based methods have emerged to be one of the most effective and practical solutions in a wide range of medical problems, including the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. A critical step to a precocious diagnosis in many heart dysfunctions diseases starts with the accurate detection and classification of cardiac arrhythmias, which can be achieved via electrocardiograms (ECGs). Motivated by the desire to enhance conventional clinical methods in diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias, we introduce an uncertainty-aware deep learning-based predictive model design for accurate large-scale classification of cardiac arrhythmias successfully trained and evaluated using three benchmark medical datasets. In addition, considering that the quantification of uncertainty estimates is vital for clinical decision-making, our method incorporates a probabilistic approach to capture the model’s uncertainty using a Bayesian-based approximation method without introducing additional parameters or significant changes to the network’s architecture. Although many arrhythmias classification solutions with various ECG feature engineering techniques have been reported in the literature, the introduced AI-based probabilistic-enabled method in this paper outperforms the results of existing methods in outstanding multiclass classification results that manifest F1 scores of 98.62% and 96.73% with (MIT-BIH) dataset of 20 annotations, and 99.23% and 96.94% with (INCART) dataset of eight annotations, and 97.25% and 96.73% with (BIDMC) dataset of six annotations, for the deep ensemble and probabilistic mode, respectively. We demonstrate our method’s high-performing and statistical reliability results in numerical experiments on the language modeling using the gating mechanism of Recurrent Neural Networks.

Lung CT image segmentation is a key process in many applications such as lung cancer detection. It is considered a challenging problem due to existing similar image densities in the pulmonary structures, different types of scanners, and scanning protocols. Most of the current semi-automatic segmentation methods rely on human factors therefore it might suffer from lack of accuracy. Another shortcoming of these methods is their high false-positive rate. In recent years, several approaches, based on a deep learning framework, have been effectively applied in medical image segmentation. Among existing deep neural networks, the U-Net has provided great success in this field. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network architecture to perform an automatic lung CT image segmentation process. In the proposed method, several extensive preprocessing techniques are applied to raw CT images. Then, ground truths corresponding to these images are extracted via some morphological operations and manual reforms. Finally, all the prepared images with the corresponding ground truth are fed into a modified U-Net in which the encoder is replaced with a pre-trained ResNet-34 network (referred to as Res BCDU-Net). In the architecture, we employ BConvLSTM (Bidirectional Convolutional Long Short-term Memory)as an advanced integrator module instead of simple traditional concatenators. This is to merge the extracted feature maps of the corresponding contracting path into the previous expansion of the up-convolutional layer. Finally, a densely connected convolutional layer is utilized for the contracting path. The results of our extensive experiments on lung CT images (LIDC-IDRI database) confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method where a dice coefficient index of 97.31% is achieved.
