A survey on utilization of data mining approaches for dermatological (skin) diseases prediction

Due to recent technology advances, large volumes of medical data is obtained. These data contain valuable information. Therefore data mining techniques can be used to extract useful patterns. This paper is intended to introduce data mining and its various techniques and a survey of the available literature on medical data mining. We emphasize mainly on the application of data mining on skin diseases. A categorization has been provided based on the different data mining techniques. The utility of the various data mining methodologies is highlighted. Generally association mining is suitable for extracting rules. It has been used especially in cancer diagnosis. Classification is a robust method in medical mining. In this paper, we have summarized the different uses of classification in dermatology. It is one of the most important methods for diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases. There are different methods like Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and fuzzy classifiaction in this topic. Clustering is a useful method in medical images mining. The purpose of clustering techniques is to find a structure for the given data by finding similarities between data according to data characteristics. Clustering has some applications in dermatology. Besides introducing different mining methods, we have investigated some challenges which exist in mining skin data

Computer aided diagnosis system using dermatoscopical image

Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for melanoma detection aim to mirror the expert dermatologist decision when watching a dermoscopic or clinical image. Computer Vision techniques, which can be based on expert knowledge or not, are used to characterize the lesion image. This information is delivered to a machine learning algorithm, which gives a diagnosis suggestion as an output. This research is included into this field, and addresses the objective of implementing a complete CAD system using ‘state of the art’ descriptors and dermoscopy images as input. Some of them are based on expert knowledge and others are typical in a wide variety of problems. Images are initially transformed into oRGB, a perceptual color space, looking for both enhancing the information that images provide and giving human perception to machine algorithms. Feature selection is also performed to find features that really contribute to discriminate between benign and malignant pigmented skin lesions (PSL). The problem of robust model fitting versus statistically significant system evaluation is critical when working with small datasets, which is indeed the case. This topic is not generally considered in works related to PSLs. Consequently, a method that optimizes the compromise between these two goals is proposed, giving non-overfitted models and statistically significant measures of performance. In this manner, different systems can be compared in a fairer way. A database which enjoys wide international acceptance among dermatologists is used for the experiments.Ingeniería de Sistemas Audiovisuale

A Review on the use of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Brain MRI Analysis

Over the past 20 years, the global research going on in Artificial Intelligence in applica-tions in medication is a venue internationally, for medical trade and creating an ener-getic research community. The Artificial Intelligence in Medicine magazine has posted a massive amount. This paper gives an overview of the history of AI applications in brain MRI analysis to research its effect at the wider studies discipline and perceive de-manding situations for its destiny. Analysis of numerous articles to create a taxono-my of research subject matters and results was done. The article is classed which might be posted between 2000 and 2018 with this taxonomy. Analyzed articles have excessive citations. Efforts are useful in figuring out popular studies works in AI primarily based on mind MRI analysis throughout specific issues. The biomedical prognosis was ruled by way of knowledge engineering research in its first decade, whilst gadget mastering, and records mining prevailed thereafter. Together these two topics have contributed a lot to the latest medical domain

An Empirical Model for Thyroid Disease Classification using Evolutionary Multivariate Bayseian Prediction Method

Thyroid diseases are widespread worldwide. In India too, there is a significant problems caused due to thyroid diseases. Various research studies estimates that about 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid diseases [4]. There are a number of possible thyroid diseases and disorders, including thyroiditis and thyroid cancer. This paper focuses on the classification of two of the most common thyroid disorders are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism among the public. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) states that about 1% of Americans suffer from Hyperthyroidism and about 5% suffer from Hypothyroidism. From the global perspective also the classification of thyroid plays a significant role. The conditions for the diagnosis of the disease are closely linked, they have several important differences that affect diagnosis and treatment. The data for this research work is collected from the UCI repository which undergoes preprocessing. The preprocessed data is multivariate in nature. Curse of Dimensionality is followed so that the available 21 attributes is optimized to 10 attributes using Hybrid Differential Evolution Kernel Based Navie Based algorithm. The subset of data is now supplied to Kernel Based NaEF;ve Bayes classifier algorithm in order to check for the fitness
