    Abstract The evolving field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis has greatly benefited from deep learning models for analyzing brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. This study introduces Dynamic GradNet, a novel deep learning model designed to increase diagnostic accuracy and interpretability for multiclass AD classification. Initially, four state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, the self-regulated network (RegNet), residual network (ResNet), densely connected convolutional network (DenseNet), and efficient network (EfficientNet), were comprehensively compared via a unified preprocessing pipeline to ensure a fair evaluation. Among these models, EfficientNet consistently demonstrated superior performance in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and… More >

    Abstract Coronary artery disease is a highly lethal cardiovascular condition, making early diagnosis crucial for patients. Echocardiograph is employed to identify coronary heart disease (CHD). However, due to issues such as fuzzy object boundaries, complex tissue structures, and motion artifacts in ultrasound images, it is challenging to detect CHD accurately. This paper proposes an improved Transformer model based on the Feedback Self-Attention Mechanism (FSAM) for classification of ultrasound images. The model enhances attention weights, making it easier to capture complex features. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high levels of accuracy, recall, precision, F1 More >
