Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis

The computer-assisted analysis for better interpreting images have been longstanding issues in the medical imaging field. On the image-understanding front, recent advances in machine learning, especially, in the way of deep learning, have made a big leap to help identify, classify, and quantify patterns in medical images. Specifically, exploiting hierarchical feature representations learned solely from data, instead of handcrafted features mostly designed based on domain-specific knowledge, lies at the core of the advances. In that way, deep learning is rapidly proving to be the state-of-the-art foundation, achieving enhanced performances in various medical applications. In this article, we introduce the fundamentals of deep learning methods; review their successes to image registration, anatomical/cell structures detection, tissue segmentation, computer-aided disease diagnosis or prognosis, and so on. We conclude by raising research issues and suggesting future directions for further improvements

A concatenation approach-based disease prediction model for sustainable health care system

In the present world, due to many factors like environmental changes, food styles, and living habits, human health is constantly affected by different diseases, which causes a huge amount of data to be managed in health care. Some diseases become life-threatening if they are not cured at the starting stage. Thus, it is a complex task for the healthcare system to design a well-trained disease prediction model for accurately identifying diseases. Deep learning models are the most widely used in disease prediction research, but their performance is inferior to conventional models. In order to overcome this issue, this work introduces the concatenation of Inception V3 and Xception deep learning convolutional neural network models. The proposed model extracts the main features and produces the prediction result more accurately than traditional predictive models. This work analyses the performance of the proposed model in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. It compares the proposed model to existing techniques such as Stacked Denoising Auto-Encoder (SDAE), Logistic Regression (LR), MLP, MLP with attention mechanism (MLP-A), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multi Neural Network (MNN), and Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-Random Forest (RF)

A Novel Deep Learning Method for Recognition and Classification of Brain Tumors from MRI images

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth in brain cells that causes damage to various blood vessels and nerves in the human body. An earlier and accurate diagnosis of the brain tumor is of foremost important to avoid future complications. Precise segmentation of brain tumors provides a basis for surgical planning and treatment to doctors. Manual detection using MRI images is computationally complex in cases where the survival of the patient is dependent on timely treatment, and the performance relies on domain expertise. Therefore, computerized detection of tumors is still a challenging task due to significant variations in their location and structure, i.e., irregular shapes and ambiguous boundaries. In this study, we propose a custom Mask Region-based Convolution neural network (Mask RCNN) with a densenet-41 backbone architecture that is trained via transfer learning for precise classification and segmentation of brain tumors. Our method is evaluated on two different benchmark datasets using various quantitative measures. Comparative results show that the custom Mask-RCNN can more precisely detect tumor locations using bounding boxes and return segmentation masks to provide exact tumor regions. Our proposed model achieved an accuracy of 96.3% and 98.34% for segmentation and classification respectively, demonstrating enhanced robustness compared to state-of-the-art approaches
