Deep Neural Network with l2-norm Unit for Brain Lesions Detection
Automated brain lesions detection is an important and very challenging
clinical diagnostic task because the lesions have different sizes, shapes,
contrasts, and locations. Deep Learning recently has shown promising progress
in many application fields, which motivates us to apply this technology for
such important problem. In this paper, we propose a novel and end-to-end
trainable approach for brain lesions classification and detection by using deep
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In order to investigate the applicability,
we applied our approach on several brain diseases including high and low-grade
glioma tumor, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer diseases, by which the brain Magnetic
Resonance Images (MRI) have been applied as an input for the analysis. We
proposed a new operating unit which receives features from several projections
of a subset units of the bottom layer and computes a normalized l2-norm for
next layer. We evaluated the proposed approach on two different CNN
architectures and number of popular benchmark datasets. The experimental
results demonstrate the superior ability of the proposed approach.Comment: Accepted for presentation in ICONIP-201
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

Glioma Diagnosis Aid through CNNs and Fuzzy-C Means for MRI
Glioma is a type of brain tumor that causes mortality in many cases. Early diagnosis is an important factor.
Typically, it is detected through MRI and then either a treatment is applied, or it is removed through surgery.
Deep-learning techniques are becoming popular in medical applications and image-based diagnosis.
Convolutional Neural Networks are the preferred architecture for object detection and classification in images.
In this paper, we present a study to evaluate the efficiency of using CNNs for diagnosis aids in glioma
detection and the improvement of the method when using a clustering method (Fuzzy C-means) for preprocessing
the input MRI dataset. Results offered an accuracy improvement from 0.77 to 0.81 when using
Fuzzy C-Means.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TEC2016-77785-
