Manual Classification

One of the most severe and common brain tumors is gliomas. Manual classification of injuries of this type is a laborious task in the clinical routine. Therefore, this work proposes an automatic method to classify lesions in the brain in 3D MR images based on superpixels, PSO algorithm and convolutional neural network. The proposed method obtained results for the complete, central and active regions, an accuracy of 87.88%, 70.51%, 80.08% and precision of 76%, 84%, 75% for the respective regions. The results demonstrate the difficulty of the network in the classification of the regions found in the lesions.

Segmentation is crucial in medical imaging analysis to help extract regions of interest (ROI) from different imaging modalities. The aim of this study is to develop and train a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) for skull segmentation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 58 gold standard volumetric labels were created from computed tomography (CT) scans in standard tessellation language (STL) models. These STL models were converted into matrices and overlapped on the 58 corresponding MR images to create the MRI gold standards labels. The CNN was trained with these 58 MR images and a mean ± standard deviation (SD) Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.7300 ± 0.04 was achieved. A further investigation was carried out where the brain region was removed from the image with the help of a 3D CNN and manual corrections by using only MR images. This new dataset, without the brain, was presented to the previous CNN which reached a new mean ± SD DSC of 0.7826 ± 0.03. This paper aims to provide a framework for segmenting the skull using CNN and STL models, as the 3D CNN was able to segment the skull with a certain precision.

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter structure in the brain, which connects the two cerebral hemispheres and facilitates the inter-hemispheric communication. Abnormal anatomy of corpus callosum has been revealed for various brain related diseases. Being an important biomarker, Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain followed by corpus callosum segmentation and feature extraction has found to be important for the diagnosis of many neurological diseases. This paper focuses on classification of T1-weighted mid-sagittal MR images of brain for dementia patients. The corpus callosum is segmented using K-means clustering algorithm and corresponding shape based measurements are used as features. Based on these shape based measurements, a back-propagation neural network is trained separately for male and female dataset. The input data consists of 54 female and 31 male patients. This paper reports classification accuracy up to 92% for female patients and 94% for male patients using neural network classifier.

Meningioma is the second most commonly encountered tumor type in the brain. There are three grades of meningioma by the standards of the World Health Organization. Preoperative grade prediction of meningioma is extraordinarily important for clinical treatment planning and prognosis evaluation. In this paper, we present a new deep learning model for assisting automatic prediction of meningioma grades to reduce the recurrence of meningioma. Our model is based on an improved LeNet-5 model of convolutional neural network (CNN) and does not require the extraction of the diseased tissue, which can greatly enhance the efficiency. To address the issue of insufficient and unbalanced clinical data of meningioma images, we use an oversampling technique which allows us to considerably improve the accuracy of classification. Experiments on large clinical datasets show that our model can achieve quite high accuracy (i.e., as high as 83.33%) for the classification of meningioma images.

The automatic classification of various types of cardiomyopathies is desirable but has never been performed using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The purpose of this study was to evaluate currently available CNN models to classify cine magnetic resonance (cine-MR) images of cardiomyopathies. Method: Diastolic and systolic frames of 1200 cine-MR sequences of three categories of subjects (395 normal, 411 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and 394 dilated cardiomyopathy) were selected, preprocessed, and labeled. Pretrained, fine-tuned deep learning models (VGG) were used for image classification (sixfold cross-validation and double split testing with hold-out data). The heat activation map algorithm (Grad-CAM) was applied to reveal salient pixel areas leading to the classification. Results: The diastolic–systolic dual-input concatenated VGG model cross-validation accuracy was 0.982 ± 0.009. Summed confusion matrices showed that, for the 1200 inputs, the VGG model led to 22 errors. The classification of a 227-input validation group, carried out by an experienced radiologist and cardiologist, led to a similar number of discrepancies. The image preparation process led to 5% accuracy improvement as compared to nonprepared images. Grad-CAM heat activation maps showed that most misclassifications occurred when extracardiac location caught the attention of the network. Conclusions: CNN networks are very well suited and are 98% accurate for the classification of cardiomyopathies, regardless of the imaging plane, when both diastolic and systolic frames are incorporated. Misclassification is in the same range as inter-observer discrepancies in experienced human readers.

In medical science, brain tumor is the most common and aggressive disease and is known to be risk factors that have been confirmed by research. A brain tumor is the anomalous development of cell inside the brain. One conventional strategy to separate brain tumors is by reviewing the MRI pictures of the patient's mind. In this paper, we have designed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to perceive whether the image contains tumor or not. We have designed 5 different CNN and examined each design on the basis of convolution layers, max-pooling, and flattening layers and activation functions. In each design we have made some changes on layers i.e. using different pooling layers in design 2 and 4, using different activation functions in design 2 and 3, and adding more Fully Connected layers in design 5. We examine their results and compare it with other designs. After comparing their results we find a best design out of 5 based on their accuracy. Utilizing our Convolutional neural network, we could accomplish a training accuracy and validation accuracy of design 3 at 100 epochs is 99.99% and 92.34%, best case scenario.

The standard views in echocardiography capture distinct slices of the heart which can be used to assess cardiac function. Determining the view of a given echocardiogram is the first step for analysis. To automate this step, a deep network of the ResNet-18 architecture was used to classify between six standard views. The network parameters were pre-trained with the ImageNet database and prediction quality was assessed with a visualization tool known as gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). The network was able to distinguish between three parasternal short axis views and three apical views to ~99\% accuracy. 10-fold cross validation showed a 97\%-98\% accuracy for the apical view subcategories (which included apical two-, three-, and four- chamber views). Grad-CAM images of these views highlighted features that were similar to those used by experts in manual classification. Parasternal short axis subcategories (which included apex level, mitral valve level, and papillary muscle level) had accuracies of 54\%-73\%. Grad-CAM images illustrate that the network classifies most parasternal short axis views as belonging to the papillary muscle level. Likely more images and incorporating time-dependent features would increase the parasternal short axis view accuracy. Overall, a convolutional neural network can be used to reliably classify echocardiogram views.

There are many kinds of brain abnormalities that cause changes in different parts of the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic condition that degenerates the cells of the brain leading to memory asthenia. Cognitive mental troubles such as forgetfulness and confusion are one of the most important features of Alzheimer’s patients. In the literature, several image processing techniques, as well as machine learning strategies, were introduced for the diagnosis of the disease. This study is aimed at recognizing the presence of Alzheimer’s disease based on the magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. We adopted a deep learning methodology for the discrimination between Alzheimer’s patients and healthy patients from 2D anatomical slices collected using magnetic resonance imaging. Most of the previous researches were based on the implementation of a 3D convolutional neural network, whereas we incorporated the usage of 2D slices as input to the convolutional neural network. The data set of this research was obtained from the OASIS website. We trained the convolutional neural network structure using the 2D slices to exhibit the deep network weightings that we named as the Alzheimer Network (AlzNet). The accuracy of our enhanced network was 99.30%. This work investigated the effects of many parameters on AlzNet, such as the number of layers, number of filters, and dropout rate. The results were interesting after using many performance metrics for evaluating the proposed AlzNet.
