Summary

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has made considerable progress in the last decades, resulting in the development of several effective CAD systems. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have opened up novel avenues for computer-assisted diagnosis of medical image. Additionally, improvements in ML techniques, the majority of which are based on Deep Learning (DL), have substantially impacted the performance of CAD systems.

 

Currently, the medical sector demands more creative technology to handle vast amounts of data and enhance the quality of service provided to patients.  It also requires an intelligent system to identify early symptoms of multiple diseases and give suitable treatment. A significant recent breakthrough via DL techniques has garnered interest in academic research and business application groups. DL is the most rapidly expanding discipline of machine learning. Recent studies have shown that DL may dramatically improve the diagnosis prediction of contagious diseases. Hence, DL approaches can enhance the accuracy of CAD systems.

    A Deep Learning Framework for Mass-Forming Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Classification Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Luda Chen, Kuangzhu Bao, Ying Chen, Jingang Hao, Jianfeng He
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 409-427, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048507

    Abstract Pancreatic diseases, including mass-forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), present with similar imaging features, leading to diagnostic complexities. Deep Learning (DL) methods have been shown to perform well on diagnostic tasks. Existing DL pancreatic lesion diagnosis studies based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilize the prior information to guide models to focus on the lesion region. However, over-reliance on prior information may ignore the background information that is helpful for diagnosis. This study verifies the diagnostic significance of the background information using a clinical dataset. Consequently, the Prior Difference Guidance Network (PDGNet) is proposed, merging decoupled lesion… More >

    HCSP-Net: A Novel Model of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Classification Based on Color Fundus Photography

    Cheng Wan, Jiani Zhao, Xiangqian Hong, Weihua Yang, Shaochong Zhang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 391-407, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048307

    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) ranks third among the most common causes of blindness. As the most conventional and direct method for identifying AMD, color fundus photography has become prominent owing to its consistency, ease of use, and good quality in extensive clinical practice. In this study, a convolutional neural network (CSPDarknet53) was combined with a transformer to construct a new hybrid model, HCSP-Net. This hybrid model was employed to tri-classify color fundus photography into the normal macula (NM), dry macular degeneration (DMD), and wet macular degeneration (WMD) based on clinical classification manifestations, thus identifying and resolving AMD as early as… More >

    Olive Leaf Disease Detection via Wavelet Transform and Feature Fusion of Pre-Trained Deep Learning Models

    Mahmood A. Mahmood, Khalaf Alsalem
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3431-3448, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047604

    Abstract Olive trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can cause significant crop damage and economic losses. Early detection of these diseases is essential for effective management. We propose a novel transformed wavelet, feature-fused, pre-trained deep learning model for detecting olive leaf diseases. The proposed model combines wavelet transforms with pre-trained deep-learning models to extract discriminative features from olive leaf images. The model has four main phases: preprocessing using data augmentation, three-level wavelet transformation, learning using pre-trained deep learning models, and a fused deep learning model. In the preprocessing phase, the image dataset is augmented using techniques such as… More >

    MSADCN: Multi-Scale Attentional Densely Connected Network for Automated Bone Age Assessment

    Yanjun Yu, Lei Yu, Huiqi Wang, Haodong Zheng, Yi Deng
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2225-2243, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047641

    Abstract Bone age assessment (BAA) helps doctors determine how a child’s bones grow and develop in clinical medicine. Traditional BAA methods rely on clinician expertise, leading to time-consuming predictions and inaccurate results. Most deep learning-based BAA methods feed the extracted critical points of images into the network by providing additional annotations. This operation is costly and subjective. To address these problems, we propose a multi-scale attentional densely connected network (MSADCN) in this paper. MSADCN constructs a multi-scale dense connectivity mechanism, which can avoid overfitting, obtain the local features effectively and prevent gradient vanishing even in limited training data. First, MSADCN designs… More >

    Abstract Lung cancer is a malady of the lungs that gravely jeopardizes human health. Therefore, early detection and treatment are paramount for the preservation of human life. Lung computed tomography (CT) image sequences can explicitly delineate the pathological condition of the lungs. To meet the imperative for accurate diagnosis by physicians, expeditious segmentation of the region harboring lung cancer is of utmost significance. We utilize computer-aided methods to emulate the diagnostic process in which physicians concentrate on lung cancer in a sequential manner, erect an interpretable model, and attain segmentation of lung cancer.
