Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that can lead to reduced vision or even blindness if left untreated. Therefore, early and accurate detection of this disease is crucial for diabetic patients to prevent vision loss. This study aims to develop a deep-learning approach for the early and precise diagnosis of DR, as manual detection can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. The classification task is divided into two groups for binary classification: patients with DR (diagnoses 1–4) and those without DR (diagnosis 0). For multi-class classification, the categories are no DR,… More >

Abstract Traditional data-driven fault diagnosis methods depend on expert experience to manually extract effective fault features of signals, which has certain limitations. Conversely, deep learning techniques have gained prominence as a central focus of research in the field of fault diagnosis by strong fault feature extraction ability and end-to-end fault diagnosis efficiency. Recently, utilizing the respective advantages of convolution neural network (CNN) and Transformer in local and global feature extraction, research on cooperating the two have demonstrated promise in the field of fault diagnosis. However, the cross-channel convolution mechanism in CNN and the self-attention calculations in… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Accurate medical diagnosis, which involves identifying diseases based on patient symptoms, is often hindered by uncertainties in data interpretation and retrieval. Advanced fuzzy set theories have emerged as effective tools to address these challenges. In this paper, new mathematical approaches for handling uncertainty in medical diagnosis are introduced using q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS) and interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (IVq-ROFS). Three aggregation operators are proposed in our methodologies: the q-ROF weighted averaging (q-ROFWA), the q-ROF weighted geometric (q-ROFWG), and the q-ROF weighted neutrality averaging (q-ROFWNA), which enhance decision-making under uncertainty. These operators are paired More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Liver cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and precise diagnostic tools are essential for effective treatment planning. Liver Tumors (LTs) vary significantly in size, shape, and location, and can present with tissues of similar intensities, making automatically segmenting and classifying LTs from abdominal tomography images crucial and challenging. This review examines recent advancements in Liver Segmentation (LS) and Tumor Segmentation (TS) algorithms, highlighting their strengths and limitations regarding precision, automation, and resilience. Performance metrics are utilized to assess key detection algorithms and analytical methods, emphasizing their effectiveness and relevance in clinical contexts. The More >

Abstract Lower back pain is one of the most common medical problems in the world and it is experienced by a huge percentage of people everywhere. Due to its ability to produce a detailed view of the soft tissues, including the spinal cord, nerves, intervertebral discs, and vertebrae, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is thought to be the most effective method for imaging the spine. The semantic segmentation of vertebrae plays a major role in the diagnostic process of lumbar diseases. It is difficult to semantically partition the vertebrae in Magnetic Resonance Images from the surrounding variety of… More >

Abstract A bearing fault diagnosis method based on the Markov transition field (MTF) and SEnet (SE)-IShufflenetV2 model is proposed in this paper due to the problems of complex working conditions, low fault diagnosis accuracy, and poor generalization of rolling bearing. Firstly, MTF is used to encode one-dimensional time series vibration signals and convert them into time-dependent and unique two-dimensional feature images. Then, the generated two-dimensional dataset is fed into the SE-IShufflenetV2 model for training to achieve fault feature extraction and classification. This paper selects the bearing fault datasets from Case Western Reserve University and Paderborn University… More >

Abstract Skin cancer is a highly frequent kind of cancer. Early identification of a phenomenon significantly improves outcomes and mitigates the risk of fatalities. Melanoma, basal, and squamous cell carcinomas are well-recognized cutaneous malignancies. Malignant We can differentiate Melanoma from non-pigmented carcinomas like basal and squamous cell carcinoma. The research on developing automated skin cancer detection systems has primarily focused on pigmented malignant type melanoma. The limited availability of datasets with a wide range of lesion categories has hindered in-depth exploration of non-pigmented malignant skin lesions. The present study investigates the feasibility of automated methods for… More >
