PORÓWNANIE WPŁYWU STANDARYZACJI I NORMALIZACJI DANYCH NA SKUTECZNOŚĆ KLASYFIKACJI TEKSTURY TKANKI GĄBCZASTEJ KRĘGOSŁUPA

The aim of this article was to compare the influence of the data pre-processing methods – normalization and standardization – on the results of the classification of spongy tissue images. Four hundred CT images of the spine (L1 vertebra) were used for the analysis. The images were obtained from fifty healthy patients and fifty patients with diagnosed with osteoporosis. The samples of tissue (50×50 pixels) were subjected to a texture analysis to obtain descriptors of features based on a histogram of grey levels, gradient, run length matrix, co-occurrence matrix, autoregressive model and wavelet transform. The obtained results were set in the importance ranking (from the most important to the least important), and the first fifty features were used for further experiments. These data were normalized and standardized and then classified using five different methods: naive Bayes classifier, support vector machine, multilayer perceptrons, random forest and classification via regression. The best results were obtained for standardized data and classified by using multilayer perceptrons. This algorithm allowed for obtaining high accuracy of classification at the level of 94.25%.Celem niniejszego artykułu było porównanie wpływu metod wstępnego przetwarzania danych - normalizacji i standaryzacji - na wyniki klasyfikacji obrazów tkanki gąbczastej. Do analiz wykorzystano czterysta obrazów tomografii komputerowej kręgosłupa (kręg L1). Obrazy pochodziły od pięćdzisięciu zdrowych pacjentów oraz pięćdziesięciu pacjentów ze zdiagnozowaną osteoporozą. Uzyskane próbki tkanki (50×50 pikseli) poddano analizie tekstury w wyniku czego otrzymano deskryptory cech oparte na histogramie poziomów szarości, macierzy gradientu, macierzy RL, macierzy zdarzeń, modelu autoregresji i transformacie falkowej. Otrzymane wyniki ustawiono w rankingu ważności (od najistotniejszej do najmniej ważnej), a pięćdziesiąt pierwszych cech wykorzystano do dalszych eksperymentów. Dane zostały poddane normalizacji oraz standaryzacji, a następnie klasyfikowane przy użyciu pięciu różnych metod: naiwny klasyfikator Bayesa, maszyna wektorów wspierających, wielowarstwowe perceptrony, las losowy oraz klasyfikacji poprzez regresje. Najlepsze wyniki uzyskano dla danych na których przeprowadzono standaryzacje i poddano klasyfikacji za pomocą wielowarstwowych perceptronów. Taki algorytm postępowania pozwolił na uzyskanie wysokiej skuteczności klasyfikacji na poziomie 94,25%

Deep Learning Approaches for Data Augmentation in Medical Imaging: A Review

Deep learning has become a popular tool for medical image analysis, but the limited availability of training data remains a major challenge, particularly in the medical field where data acquisition can be costly and subject to privacy regulations. Data augmentation techniques offer a solution by artificially increasing the number of training samples, but these techniques often produce limited and unconvincing results. To address this issue, a growing number of studies have proposed the use of deep generative models to generate more realistic and diverse data that conform to the true distribution of the data. In this review, we focus on three types of deep generative models for medical image augmentation: variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models. We provide an overview of the current state of the art in each of these models and discuss their potential for use in different downstream tasks in medical imaging, including classification, segmentation, and cross-modal translation. We also evaluate the strengths and limitations of each model and suggest directions for future research in this field. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive review about the use of deep generative models for medical image augmentation and to highlight the potential of these models for improving the performance of deep learning algorithms in medical image analysis

Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Cancer Detection and Classification: Review Study

Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although cancer includes different types of diseases, they all start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Without treatment, cancer can cause serious health problems and even loss of life. Early detection of cancer may reduce mortality and morbidity. This paper presents a review of the detection methods for lung, breast, and brain cancers. These methods used for diagnosis include artificial intelligence techniques, such as support vector machine neural network, artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, with medical imaging like X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scan images. Imaging techniques are the most important approach for precise diagnosis of human cancer. We investigated all these techniques to identify a method that can provide superior accuracy and determine the best medical images for use in each type of cancer
