scholarly journals A New Retrieval Algorithm Based on Pulse Coupled Neural Network for Biomedical Images

The rapid expansion and improvement in medical science and technology lead to the generation of more image data in its regular activity such as computed tomography (CT), X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) etc. To manage the medical images properly for clinical decision making, content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) system emerged. In this paper, Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) based feature descriptor is proposed for retrieval of biomedical images. Time series is used as an image feature which contains the entire information of the feature, based on which the similar biomedical images are retrieved in our work. Here, the physician can point out the disorder present in the patient report by retrieving the most similar report from related reference reports. Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) magnetic resonance imaging dataset is used for the evaluation of the proposed approach. The experimental result of the proposed system shows that the retrieval efficiency is better than the other existing systems.

This work aimed to explore the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm in the diagnosis of prostate cancer patients and tumor risk grading. A total of 89 patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia diagnosed by MRI examination and pathological examination in hospital were selected as the research objects in this study (they passed the exclusion criteria). The MRI images of these patients were collected in two groups and divided into two groups before and after treatment according to whether the CNN algorithm was used to process them. The number of diagnosed diseases and the number of cases of risk level inferred based on the tumor grading were compared to observe which group was closer to the diagnosis of pathological biopsy. Through comparative analysis, compared with the positive rate of pathological diagnosis (44%), the positive rate after the treatment of the CNN algorithm (42%) was more similar to that before the treatment (34%), and the comparison was statistically marked ( P < 0.05 ). In terms of risk stratification, the grading results after treatment (37 cases) were closer to the results of pathological grading (39 cases) than those before treatment (30 cases), and the comparison was statistically obvious ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, it was obvious that the MRT images would be clearer after treatment through the observation of the MRT images before and after treatment. In conclusion, MRI image segmentation algorithm based on CNN was more accurate in the diagnosis and risk stratification of prostate cancer than routine MRI. According to the evaluation of Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff I distance (HD), the CNN segmentation method used in this study was more perfect than other segmentation methods.

The classification of brain tumors is a difficult task in the field of medical image analysis. Improving algorithms and machine learning technology helps radiologists to easily diagnose the tumor without surgical intervention. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made excellent progress in the field of medical image processing and analysis. However, there are many difficulties in classifying brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging; first, the difficulty of brain structure and the intertwining of tissues in it; and secondly, the difficulty of classifying brain tumors due to the high density nature of the brain. We propose a differential deep convolutional neural network model (differential deep-CNN) to classify different types of brain tumor, including abnormal and normal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Using differential operators in the differential deep-CNN architecture, we derived the additional differential feature maps in the original CNN feature maps. The derivation process led to an improvement in the performance of the proposed approach in accordance with the results of the evaluation parameters used. The advantage of the differential deep-CNN model is an analysis of a pixel directional pattern of images using contrast calculations and its high ability to classify a large database of images with high accuracy and without technical problems. Therefore, the proposed approach gives an excellent overall performance. To test and train the performance of this model, we used a dataset consisting of 25,000 brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, which includes abnormal and normal images. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%. This study demonstrates that the proposed differential deep-CNN model can be used to facilitate the automatic classification of brain tumors.

Tumor otak menjadi salah satu penyakit yang paling mematikan, salah satu jenis yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah glioma sekitar 6 dari 100.000 pasien adalah penderita glioma. Citra digital melalui Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) merupakan salah satu metode untuk membantu dokter dalam menganalisa dan mengklasifikasikan jenis tumor otak. Namun, klasifikasi secara manual membutuhkan waktu yang lama dan memiliki resiko kesalahan yang tinggi, untuk itu dibutuhkan suatu cara otomatis dan akurat dalam melakukan klasifikasi citra MRI. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) menjadi salah satu solusi dalam melakukan klasifikasi otomatis dalam citra MRI. CNN merupakan algoritma deep learning yang memiliki kemampuan untuk belajar sendiri dari kasus kasus sebelumnya. Dan dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan, diperoleh hasil bahwa CNN mampu dalam menyelesaikan klasifikasi tumor otak dengan akurasi yang tinggi. Peningkatan akurasi diperoleh dengan mengembangkan algoritma CNN baik melalui menentukan nilai kernel dan/atau fungsi aktivasi.
