Abstract Medical image classification is crucial in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making. We introduced a novel medical image classification approach that integrates Bayesian Random Semantic Data Augmentation (BSDA) with a Vision Mamba-based model for medical image classification (MedMamba), enhanced by residual connection blocks, we named the model BSDA-Mamba. BSDA augments medical image data semantically, enhancing the model’s generalization ability and classification performance. MedMamba, a deep learning-based state space model, excels in capturing long-range dependencies in medical images. By incorporating residual connections, BSDA-Mamba further improves feature extraction capabilities. Through comprehensive experiments on eight medical image More >

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 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a significant challenge in modern healthcare, with early detection and accurate staging remaining critical priorities for effective intervention. While Deep Learning (DL) approaches have shown promise in AD diagnosis, existing methods often struggle with the issues of precision, interpretability, and class imbalance. This study presents a novel framework that integrates DL with several eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques, in particular attention mechanisms, Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), and Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME), to improve both model interpretability and feature selection. The study evaluates four different DL architectures (ResMLP, VGG16, Xception, More >

Abstract Large amounts of labeled data are usually needed for training deep neural networks in medical image studies, particularly in medical image classification. However, in the field of semi-supervised medical image analysis, labeled data is very scarce due to patient privacy concerns. For researchers, obtaining high-quality labeled images is exceedingly challenging because it involves manual annotation and clinical understanding. In addition, skin datasets are highly suitable for medical image classification studies due to the inter-class relationships and the inter-class similarities of skin lesions. In this paper, we propose a model called Coalition Sample Relation Consistency (CSRC),… More >

Abstract Gliomas have the highest mortality rate of all brain tumors. Correctly classifying the glioma risk period can help doctors make reasonable treatment plans and improve patients’ survival rates. This paper proposes a hierarchical multi-scale attention feature fusion medical image classification network (HMAC-Net), which effectively combines global features and local features. The network framework consists of three parallel layers: The global feature extraction layer, the local feature extraction layer, and the multi-scale feature fusion layer. A linear sparse attention mechanism is designed in the global feature extraction layer to reduce information redundancy. In the local feature… More >

Abstract Recently, computer assisted diagnosis (CAD) model creation has become more dependent on medical picture categorization. It is often used to identify several conditions, including brain disorders, diabetic retinopathy, and skin cancer. Most traditional CAD methods relied on textures, colours, and forms. Because many models are issue-oriented, they need a more substantial capacity to generalize and cannot capture high-level problem domain notions. Recent deep learning (DL) models have been published, providing a practical way to develop models specifically for classifying input medical pictures. This paper offers an intelligent beetle antenna search (IBAS-DTL) method for classifying medical… More >

Abstract The major mortality factor relevant to the intestinal tract is the growth of tumorous cells (polyps) in various parts. More specifically, colonic polyps have a high rate and are recognized as a precursor of colon cancer growth. Endoscopy is the conventional technique for detecting colon polyps, and considerable research has proved that automated diagnosis of image regions that might have polyps within the colon might be used to help experts for decreasing the polyp miss rate. The automated diagnosis of polyps in a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) method is implemented using statistical analysis. Nowadays, Deep Learning,… More >

Abstract Recently medical image classification plays a vital role in medical image retrieval and computer-aided diagnosis system. Despite deep learning has proved to be superior to previous approaches that depend on handcrafted features; it remains difficult to implement because of the high intra-class variance and inter-class similarity generated by the wide range of imaging modalities and clinical diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare systems is quickly becoming a viable alternative for delivering high-quality medical treatment in today’s e-healthcare systems. In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been identified as one of the… More >
