Medical imaging analysis with artificial neural networks
Given that neural networks have been widely reported in the research community of medical imaging, we provide a focused literature survey on recent neural network developments in computer-aided diagnosis, medical image segmentation and edge detection towards visual content analysis, and medical image registration for its pre-processing and post-processing, with the aims of increasing awareness of how neural networks can be applied to these areas and to provide a foundation for further research and practical development. Representative techniques and algorithms are explained in detail to provide inspiring examples illustrating: (i) how a known neural network with fixed structure and training procedure could be applied to resolve a medical imaging problem; (ii) how medical images could be analysed, processed, and characterised by neural networks; and (iii) how neural networks could be expanded further to resolve problems relevant to medical imaging. In the concluding section, a highlight of comparisons among many neural network applications is included to provide a global view on computational intelligence with neural networks in medical imaging
Feature Detection in Medical Images Using Deep Learning
This project explores the use of deep learning to predict age based on pediatric hand X-Rays. Data from the Radiological Society of North America’s pediatric bone age challenge were used to train and evaluate a convolutional neural network. The project used InceptionV3, a CNN developed by Google, that was pre-trained on ImageNet, a popular online image dataset. Our fine-tuned version of InceptionV3 yielded an average error of less than 10 months between predicted and actual age. This project shows the effectiveness of deep learning in analyzing medical images and the potential for even greater improvements in the future. In addition to the technological and potential clinical benefits of these methods, this project will serve as a useful pedagogical tool for introducing the challenges and applications of deep learning to the Bryant community
Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Pneumonia Detection using Chest X-ray
Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease, which occurs in the lungs caused by
either bacterial or viral infection. It can be life-endangering if not acted
upon in the right time and thus an early diagnosis of pneumonia is vital. The
aim of this paper is to automatically detect bacterial and viral pneumonia
using digital x-ray images. It provides a detailed report on advances made in
making accurate detection of pneumonia and then presents the methodology
adopted by the authors. Four different pre-trained deep Convolutional Neural
Network (CNN)- AlexNet, ResNet18, DenseNet201, and SqueezeNet were used for
transfer learning. 5247 Bacterial, viral and normal chest x-rays images
underwent preprocessing techniques and the modified images were trained for the
transfer learning based classification task. In this work, the authors have
reported three schemes of classifications: normal vs pneumonia, bacterial vs
viral pneumonia and normal, bacterial and viral pneumonia. The classification
accuracy of normal and pneumonia images, bacterial and viral pneumonia images,
and normal, bacterial and viral pneumonia were 98%, 95%, and 93.3%
respectively. This is the highest accuracy in any scheme than the accuracies
reported in the literature. Therefore, the proposed study can be useful in
faster-diagnosing pneumonia by the radiologist and can help in the fast airport
screening of pneumonia patients.Comment: 13 Figures, 5 tables. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
High-Throughput Classification of Radiographs Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.
The study aimed to determine if computer vision techniques rooted in deep learning can use a small set of radiographs to perform clinically relevant image classification with high fidelity. One thousand eight hundred eighty-five chest radiographs on 909 patients obtained between January 2013 and July 2015 at our institution were retrieved and anonymized. The source images were manually annotated as frontal or lateral and randomly divided into training, validation, and test sets. Training and validation sets were augmented to over 150,000 images using standard image manipulations. We then pre-trained a series of deep convolutional networks based on the open-source GoogLeNet with various transformations of the open-source ImageNet (non-radiology) images. These trained networks were then fine-tuned using the original and augmented radiology images. The model with highest validation accuracy was applied to our institutional test set and a publicly available set. Accuracy was assessed by using the Youden Index to set a binary cutoff for frontal or lateral classification. This retrospective study was IRB approved prior to initiation. A network pre-trained on 1.2 million greyscale ImageNet images and fine-tuned on augmented radiographs was chosen. The binary classification method correctly classified 100Â % (95Â % CI 99.73-100Â %) of both our test set and the publicly available images. Classification was rapid, at 38 images per second. A deep convolutional neural network created using non-radiological images, and an augmented set of radiographs is effective in highly accurate classification of chest radiograph view type and is a feasible, rapid method for high-throughput annotation
