Intelligent Hemorrhage Identification in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Pictures Using AI Techniques.
Image segmentation in medical images is performed to extract valuable information from the images by concentrating on the region of interest. Mostly, the number of medical images generated from a diagnosis is large and not ideal to treat with traditional ways of segmentation using machine learning models due to their numerous and complex features. To obtain crucial features from this large set of images, deep learning is a good choice over traditional machine learning algorithms. Wireless capsule endoscopy images comprise normal and sick frames and often suffers with a big data imbalance ratio which is sometimes 1000:1 for normal and sick classes. They are also special type of confounding images due to movement of the (capsule) camera, organs and variations in luminance to capture the site texture inside the body. So, we have proposed an automatic deep learning model based to detect bleeding frames out of the WCE images. The proposed model is based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and its performance is compared with state-of- the-art methods including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network and Random Forest. The proposed model reduces the computational burden by offering the automatic feature extraction. It has promising accuracy with an F1 score of 0.76

Advancing Artificial Intelligence in Sensors, Signals, and Imaging Informatics.
ObjectiveTo identify research works that exemplify recent developments in the field of sensors, signals, and imaging informatics.MethodA broad literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science, supplemented with individual papers that were nominated by section editors. A predefined query made from a combination of Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and keywords were used to search both sources. Section editors then filtered the entire set of retrieved papers with each paper having been reviewed by two section editors. Papers were assessed on a three-point Likert scale by two section editors, rated from 0 (do not include) to 2 (should be included). Only papers with a combined score of 2 or above were considered.ResultsA search for papers was executed at the start of January 2019, resulting in a combined set of 1,459 records published in 2018 in 119 unique journals. Section editors jointly filtered the list of candidates down to 14 nominations. The 14 candidate best papers were then ranked by a group of eight external reviewers. Four papers, representing different international groups and journals, were selected as the best papers by consensus of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook editorial board.ConclusionsThe fields of sensors, signals, and imaging informatics have rapidly evolved with the application of novel artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques. Studies have been able to discover hidden patterns and integrate different types of data towards improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. However, the quality of papers varied widely without clear reporting standards for these types of models. Nevertheless, a number of papers have demonstrated useful techniques to improve the generalizability, interpretability, and reproducibility of increasingly sophisticated models
Supervised cnn strategies for optical image segmentation and classification in interventional medicine
The analysis of interventional images is a topic of high interest for the medical-image analysis community. Such an analysis may provide interventional-medicine professionals with both decision support and context awareness, with the final goal of improving patient safety. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of some of the most recent approaches (up to 2018) in the field, with a focus on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for both segmentation and classification tasks. For each approach, summary tables are presented reporting the used dataset, involved anatomical region and achieved performance. Benefits and disadvantages of each approach are highlighted and discussed. Available datasets for algorithm training and testing and commonly used performance metrics are summarized to offer a source of information for researchers that are approaching the field of interventional-image analysis. The advancements in deep learning for medical-image analysis are involving more and more the interventional-medicine field. However, these advancements are undeniably slower than in other fields (e.g. preoperative-image analysis) and considerable work still needs to be done in order to provide clinicians with all possible support during interventional-medicine procedures
A Robust Deep Model for Classification of Peptic Ulcer and Other Digestive Tract Disorders Using Endoscopic Images
Accurate patient disease classification and detection through deep-learning (DL) models are increasingly contributing to the area of biomedical imaging. The most frequent gastrointestinal (GI) tract ailments are peptic ulcers and stomach cancer. Conventional endoscopy is a painful and hectic procedure for the patient while Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a useful technology for diagnosing GI problems and doing painless gut imaging. However, there is still a challenge to investigate thousands of images captured during the WCE procedure accurately and efficiently because existing deep models are not scored with significant accuracy on WCE image analysis. So, to prevent emergency conditions among patients, we need an efficient and accurate DL model for real-time analysis. In this study, we propose a reliable and efficient approach for classifying GI tract abnormalities using WCE images by applying a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). For this purpose, we propose a custom CNN architecture named GI Disease-Detection Network (GIDD-Net) that is designed from scratch with relatively few parameters to detect GI tract disorders more accurately and efficiently at a low computational cost. Moreover, our model successfully distinguishes GI disorders by visualizing class activation patterns in the stomach bowls as a heat map. The Kvasir-Capsule image dataset has a significant class imbalance problem, we exploited a synthetic oversampling technique BORDERLINE SMOTE (BL-SMOTE) to evenly distribute the image among the classes to prevent the problem of class imbalance. The proposed model is evaluated against various metrics and achieved the following values for evaluation metrics: 98.9%, 99.8%, 98.9%, 98.9%, 98.8%, and 0.0474 for accuracy, AUC, F1-score, precision, recall, and loss, respectively. From the simulation results, it is noted that the proposed model outperforms other state-of-the-art models in all the evaluation metrics
Generic Feature Learning for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Analysis
The interpretation and analysis of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) recordings is a complex task which requires sophisticated computer aided decision (CAD) systems to help physicians with video screening and, finally, with the diagnosis. Most CAD systems used in capsule endoscopy share a common system design, but use very different image and video representations. As a result, each time a new clinical application of WCE appears, a new CAD system has to be designed from the scratch. This makes the design of new CAD systems very time consuming. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a system for small intestine motility characterization, based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, which circumvents the laborious step of designing specific features for individual motility events. Experimental results show the superiority of the learned features over alternative classifiers constructed using state-of-the-art handcrafted features. In particular, it reaches a mean classification accuracy of 96% for six intestinal motility events, outperforming the other classifiers by a large margin (a 14% relative performance increase)
Explainable Information Retrieval using Deep Learning for Medical images
Image segmentation is useful to extract valuable information for an efficient analysis on the region of interest. Mostly, the number of images generated from a real life situation such as streaming video, is large and not ideal for traditional segmentation with machine learning algorithms. This is due to the following factors (a) numerous image features (b) complex distribution of shapes, colors and textures (c) imbalance data ratio of underlying classes (d) movements of the camera, objects and (e) variations in luminance for site capture. So, we have proposed an efficient deep learning model for image classification and the proof-of-concept has been the case studied on gastrointestinal images for bleeding detection. The Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) module has been utilised to reverse engineer the test results for the impact of features on a given test dataset. The architecture is generally applicable in other areas of image classification. The proposed method has been compared with state-of-the-art including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network and Random Forest. It has reported F1 score of 0.76 on the real world streaming dataset which is comparatively better than traditional methods
