We adopted the use of wavelet coefficients of the entire image without cropping any parts of the image as input to the CNN model. One of the main contributions of this study is to implement an algorithm called gradient-weighted class activation mapping to produce a heat map for visually verifying where the CNN model is looking at the image, thereby, ensuring the model is performing correctly. In order to verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method, we compare the obtained results with that obtained by using pixel values of original images as input to the CNN model. The measures used for performance evaluation include accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, F1 score, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). The overall classification accuracy, F1 score, and MCC for the proposed method (using wavelet coefficients as input) were 92.2%, 0.915%, and 0.839%, and those for the compared method (using pixel values of the original image as input) were 88.3%, 0.876%, and 0.766%, respectively. The experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method. Moreover, as a comprehensible classification model, the interpretability of classification results was introduced. The region of interest extracted by the proposed model was visualized using heat maps and the probability score was also shown. We believe that our proposed method could provide a promising computerized toolkit to help radiologists and serve as a second eye for them to classify COVID-19 in CT scan screening examination.展开更多

Manual segmentation is the most accurate method for cardiac segmentation. But it is time consuming and not sufficiently reproducible. However, clinicians still rely on this method in practical applications. So a fully automatic method is needed to improve the segmentation efficiency. This pape proposes a registration-based automatic approach for three-dimensional(3D segmentation of cardiac CT images. The proposed method utilizes the similarity o cardiac CT images between different individuals, and uses registration to achieve the segmentation. Affine transformation is firstly implemented to achieve global coarse registration. Then, cubic B-splines are used to refine the local details in locally accurate registration. Mutual information(Ml) is used as the similarity measure, and adaptive stochastic gradient descent(ASGD) as the optimization algorithm. Ou method is applied to the dual-source cardiac CT images to segment whole heart Experimental results show that the proposed method can automatically segment whole heart from cardiac CT images.展开更多

We aim to create a computer assisted diagnostic method, optimized by the use of deep learning (DL) and validated by a randomized controlled clinical trial, is a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancerous and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. We aim to design a high-performance deep learning model, combined from convolutional neural network (U-Net)-based architectures, for segmentation of the medical image that is independent of the type of organs/tissues, dimensions or type of image (2D/3D) and to validate the DL model in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. We used as a methodology primarily the analysis of U-Net-based architectures to identify the key elements that we considered important in the design and optimization of the combined DL model, from the U-Net-based architectures, imagined by us. Secondly, we will validate the performance of the DL model through a randomized controlled clinical trial. The DL model designed by us will be a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancers and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. The combined model we designed takes into account the key features of each of the architectures Overcomplete Convolutional Network Kite-Net (Kite-Net), Attention gate mechanism is an improvement added on convolutional network architecture for fast and precise segmentation of images (Attention U-Net), Harmony Densely Connected Network-Medical image Segmentation (HarDNet-MSEG). In this regard, we will create a comprehensive computer assisted diagnostic methodology validated by a randomized controlled clinical trial. The model will be a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancers and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. This would help drastically minimize the time and effort that specialists put into analyzing medical images, help to achieve a better therapeutic plan, and can provide a “second opinion” of computer assisted diagnosis.展开更多

Orthogonal moments are used as image feature representation in many applications like invariant pattern recognition of images. Orthogonal moments are proposed here for the diagnosis of any abnormalities on the CT images. The objective of the proposed work is to carry out the comparative study of the performance of orthogonal moments like Zernike, Racah and Legendre moments for the detection of abnormal tissue on CT liver images.

This computational model is tested with many inputs and the performance of the orthogonal moments with segmentation for the texture analysis of CT scan images is computed and compared.展开更多

文摘In this article, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model, a ResNet-50 based model, for discriminating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from Non-COVID-19 using chest CT. We adopted the use of wavelet coefficients of the entire image without cropping any parts of the image as input to the CNN model. One of the main contributions of this study is to implement an algorithm called gradient-weighted class activation mapping to produce a heat map for visually verifying where the CNN model is looking at the image, thereby, ensuring the model is performing correctly. In order to verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed method, we compare the obtained results with that obtained by using pixel values of original images as input to the CNN model. The measures used for performance evaluation include accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, F1 score, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). The overall classification accuracy, F1 score, and MCC for the proposed method (using wavelet coefficients as input) were 92.2%, 0.915%, and 0.839%, and those for the compared method (using pixel values of the original image as input) were 88.3%, 0.876%, and 0.766%, respectively. The experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method. Moreover, as a comprehensible classification model, the interpretability of classification results was introduced. The region of interest extracted by the proposed model was visualized using heat maps and the probability score was also shown. We believe that our proposed method could provide a promising computerized toolkit to help radiologists and serve as a second eye for them to classify COVID-19 in CT scan screening examination.

文摘Radiotherapy with precise segmentation of head and neck organs at risk(OARs)is one of the important treatment methods for head and neck cancer.In routine clinical practice,OARs are manually segmented by doctors to avoid irreversible adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy,which is time-consuming and laborious.To assist doctors in OARs segmentation,a MultiTrans framework with a multi-scale feature fusion module was proposed in this paper.In the multi-scale feature fusion module,the original image and the feature map of CNN were fused together to form a compound feature map for more complete high-resolution global information.In addition,the global information was also fully utilized in MultiTrans by using the feature map restored from the compound feature map in the skip connection.The multi-scale interactive high-resolution information can make full use of medical image information and obtain features more comprehensively,thus improve the segmentation accuracy.Experiments showed that MultiTrans had an average Dice score coefficient(DSC)of 74.01%in all organs,effectively improved segmentation accuracy.In addition,we proposed a transfer learning strategy for small organs by transferring the weight parameters of organs with a large amount of data to organs with a small amount of data to speed up the convergence of MultiTrans and reduce the demand for data volume in the MultiTrans.With this strategy,the average DSC of small organs was obviously increased,making the segmentation of small organs more accurate.The proposed framework and transfer learning strategy have the potential of assisting doctors in OARs delineation.

文摘Nowadays,the COVID-19 virus disease is spreading rampantly.There are some testing tools and kits available for diagnosing the virus,but it is in a lim-ited count.To diagnose the presence of disease from radiological images,auto-mated COVID-19 diagnosis techniques are needed.The enhancement of AI(Artificial Intelligence)has been focused in previous research,which uses X-ray images for detecting COVID-19.The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever,dry cough and sore throat.These symptoms may lead to an increase in the rigorous type of pneumonia with a severe barrier.Since medical imaging is not suggested recently in Canada for critical COVID-19 diagnosis,computer-aided systems are implemented for the early identification of COVID-19,which aids in noticing the disease progression and thus decreases the death rate.Here,a deep learning-based automated method for the extraction of features and classi-fication is enhanced for the detection of COVID-19 from the images of computer tomography(CT).The suggested method functions on the basis of three main pro-cesses:data preprocessing,the extraction of features and classification.This approach integrates the union of deep features with the help of Inception 14 and VGG-16 models.At last,a classifier of Multi-scale Improved ResNet(MSI-ResNet)is developed to detect and classify the CT images into unique labels of class.With the support of available open-source COVID-CT datasets that consists of 760 CT pictures,the investigational validation of the suggested method is estimated.The experimental results reveal that the proposed approach offers greater performance with high specificity,accuracy and sensitivity.

文摘In the current landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic,the utilization of deep learning in medical imaging,especially in chest computed tomography(CT)scan analysis for virus detection,has become increasingly significant.Despite its potential,deep learning’s“black box”nature has been a major impediment to its broader acceptance in clinical environments,where transparency in decision-making is imperative.To bridge this gap,our research integrates Explainable AI(XAI)techniques,specifically the Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations(LIME)method,with advanced deep learning models.This integration forms a sophisticated and transparent framework for COVID-19 identification,enhancing the capability of standard Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)models through transfer learning and data augmentation.Our approach leverages the refined DenseNet201 architecture for superior feature extraction and employs data augmentation strategies to foster robust model generalization.The pivotal element of our methodology is the use of LIME,which demystifies the AI decision-making process,providing clinicians with clear,interpretable insights into the AI’s reasoning.This unique combination of an optimized Deep Neural Network(DNN)with LIME not only elevates the precision in detecting COVID-19 cases but also equips healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of the diagnostic process.Our method,validated on the SARS-COV-2 CT-Scan dataset,demonstrates exceptional diagnostic accuracy,with performance metrics that reinforce its potential for seamless integration into modern healthcare systems.This innovative approach marks a significant advancement in creating explainable and trustworthy AI tools for medical decisionmaking in the ongoing battle against COVID-19.

文摘Remote medical diagnosis can be realized by using the Internet,but when transmitting medical images of patients through the Internet,personal information of patients may be leaked.Aim at the security of medical information system and the protection of medical images,a novel robust zero-watermarking based on SIFT-DCT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform-Discrete Cosine Transform)for medical images in the encrypted domain is proposed.Firstly,the original medical image is encrypted in transform domain based on Logistic chaotic sequence to enhance the concealment of original medical images.Then,the SIFT-DCT is used to extract the feature sequences of encrypted medical images.Next,zero-watermarking technology is used to ensure that the region of interest of medical images are not changed.Finally,the robust of the algorithm is evaluated by the correlation coefficient between the original watermark and the attacked watermark.A series of attack experiments are carried out on this method,and the results show that the algorithm is not only secure,but also robust to both traditional and geometric attacks,especially in clipping attacks.

文摘Pore scale variables(e.g.,porosity,grain size)are important indexes to predict the hydraulic properties of porous geomaterials.X-ray images from ten types of intact sandstones and another type of sandstone samples subjected to triaxial compression are used to investigate the permeability and fracture characteristics.A novel double threshold segmentation algorithm is proposed to segment cracks,pores and grains,and pore scale variables are defined and extracted from these X-ray CT images to study the geometric characteristics of microstructures of porous geomaterials.Moreover,novel relations among these pore scale variables for permeability prediction are established,and the evolution process of cracks is investigated.The results indicate that the porescale permeability is prominently improved by cracks.In addition,excellent agreements are found between the measured and the estimated pore scale variables and permeability.The established correlations can be employed to effectively identify the hydraulic properties of porous geomaterials.

文摘Segmenting whole heart from cardiac computed tomography(CT images can provide an important basis for the evaluation of cardiac function and help improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis. Manual segmentation is the most accurate method for cardiac segmentation. But it is time consuming and not sufficiently reproducible. However, clinicians still rely on this method in practical applications. So a fully automatic method is needed to improve the segmentation efficiency. This pape proposes a registration-based automatic approach for three-dimensional(3D segmentation of cardiac CT images. The proposed method utilizes the similarity o cardiac CT images between different individuals, and uses registration to achieve the segmentation. Affine transformation is firstly implemented to achieve global coarse registration. Then, cubic B-splines are used to refine the local details in locally accurate registration. Mutual information(Ml) is used as the similarity measure, and adaptive stochastic gradient descent(ASGD) as the optimization algorithm. Ou method is applied to the dual-source cardiac CT images to segment whole heart Experimental results show that the proposed method can automatically segment whole heart from cardiac CT images.
文摘Coronavirus has infected more than 753 million people,ranging in severity from one person to another,where more than six million infected people died worldwide.Computer-aided diagnostic(CAD)with artificial intelligence(AI)showed outstanding performance in effectively diagnosing this virus in real-time.Computed tomography is a complementary diagnostic tool to clarify the damage of COVID-19 in the lungs even before symptoms appear in patients.This paper conducts a systematic literature review of deep learning methods for classifying the segmentation of COVID-19 infection in the lungs.We used the methodology of systematic reviews and meta-analyses(PRISMA)flow method.This research aims to systematically analyze the supervised deep learning methods,open resource datasets,data augmentation methods,and loss functions used for various segment shapes of COVID-19 infection from computerized tomography(CT)chest images.We have selected 56 primary studies relevant to the topic of the paper.We have compared different aspects of the algorithms used to segment infected areas in the CT images.Limitations to deep learning in the segmentation of infected areas still need to be developed to predict smaller regions of infection at the beginning of their appearance.

文摘The immediate and quick spread of the coronavirus has become a life-threatening disease around the globe.The widespread illness has dramatically changed almost all sectors,moving from offline to online,resulting in a new normal lifestyle for people.The impact of coronavirus is tremendous in the healthcare sector,which has experienced a decline in the first quarter of 2020.This pandemic has created an urge to use computer-aided diagnosis techniques for classifying the Covid-19 dataset to reduce the burden of clinical results.The current situation motivated me to choose correlationbased development called correlation-based grey wolf optimizer to perform accurate classification.A proposed multistage model helps to identify Covid from Computed Tomography(CT)scan image.The first process uses a convolutional neural network(CNN)for extracting the feature from the CT scans.The Pearson coefficient filter method is applied to remove redundant and irrelevant features.Finally,theGrey wolf optimizer is used to choose optimal features.Experimental analysis proves that this determines the optimal characteristics to detect the deadly disease.The proposed model’s accuracy is 14%higher than the krill herd and bacterial foraging optimization for severe accurate respiratory syndrome image(SARS-CoV-2 CT)dataset.The COVID CT image dataset is 22%higher than the existing krill herd and bacterial foraging optimization techniques.The proposed techniques help to increase the classification accuracy of the algorithm in most cases,which marks the stability of the stated result.Comparative analysis reveals that the proposed classification technique to predict COVID-19 withmaximumaccuracy of 98%outperforms other competitive approaches.

文摘In developing countries,medical diagnosis is expensive and time consuming.Hence,automatic diagnosis can be a good cheap alternative.This task can be performed with artificial intelligence tools such as deep Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs).These tools can be used on medical images to speed up the diagnosis process and save the efforts of specialists.The deep CNNs allow direct learning from the medical images.However,the accessibility of classified data is still the largest challenge,particularly in the field of medical imaging.Transfer learning can deliver an effective and promising solution by transferring knowledge from universal object detection CNNs to medical image classification.However,because of the inhomogeneity and enormous overlap in intensity between medical images in terms of features in the diagnosis of Pneumonia and COVID-19,transfer learning is not usually a robust solution.Single-Image Super-Resolution(SISR)can facilitate learning to enhance computer vision functions,apart from enhancing perceptual image consistency.Consequently,it helps in showing the main features of images.Motivated by the challenging dilemma of Pneumonia and COVID-19 diagnosis,this paper introduces a hybrid CNN model,namely SIGTra,to generate super-resolution versions of X-ray and CT images.It depends on aGenerative Adversarial Network(GAN)for the super-resolution reconstruction problem.Besides,Transfer learning with CNN(TCNN)is adopted for the classification of images.Three different categories of chest X-ray and CT images can be classified with the proposed model.A comparison study is presented between the proposed SIGTra model and the other relatedCNNmodels for COVID-19 detection in terms of precision,sensitivity,and accuracy.

文摘In coal mining,rock strata are fractured under cyclic loading and unloading to form fracture channels.Fracture channels are the main flow narrows for gas.Therefore,expounding the flow conductivity of fracture channels in rocks on fluids is significant for gas flow in rock strata.In this regard,graded incremental cyclic loading and unloading experiments were conducted on sandstones with different initial stress levels.Then,the three-dimensional models for fracture channels in sandstones were established.Finally,the fracture channel percentages were used to reflect the flow conductivity of fracture channels.The study revealed how the particle size distribution of fractured sandstone affects the formation and expansion of fracture channels.It was found that a smaller proportion of large blocks and a higher proportion of small blocks after sandstone fails contribute more to the formation of fracture channels.The proportion of fracture channels in fractured rock can indicate the flow conductivity of those channels.When the proportion of fracture channels varies gently,fluids flow evenly through those channels.However,if the proportion of fracture channels varies significantly,it can greatly affect the flow rate of fluids.The research results contribute to revealing the morphological evolution and flow conductivity of fracture channels in sandstone and then provide a theoretical basis for clarifying the gas flow pattern in the rock strata of coal mines.
文摘Deep learning (DL) has experienced an exponential development in recent years, with major impact in many medical fields, especially in the field of medical image and, respectively, as a specific task, in the segmentation of the medical image. We aim to create a computer assisted diagnostic method, optimized by the use of deep learning (DL) and validated by a randomized controlled clinical trial, is a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancerous and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. We aim to design a high-performance deep learning model, combined from convolutional neural network (U-Net)-based architectures, for segmentation of the medical image that is independent of the type of organs/tissues, dimensions or type of image (2D/3D) and to validate the DL model in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. We used as a methodology primarily the analysis of U-Net-based architectures to identify the key elements that we considered important in the design and optimization of the combined DL model, from the U-Net-based architectures, imagined by us. Secondly, we will validate the performance of the DL model through a randomized controlled clinical trial. The DL model designed by us will be a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancers and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. The combined model we designed takes into account the key features of each of the architectures Overcomplete Convolutional Network Kite-Net (Kite-Net), Attention gate mechanism is an improvement added on convolutional network architecture for fast and precise segmentation of images (Attention U-Net), Harmony Densely Connected Network-Medical image Segmentation (HarDNet-MSEG). In this regard, we will create a comprehensive computer assisted diagnostic methodology validated by a randomized controlled clinical trial. The model will be a highly automated tool for diagnosing and staging precancers and cervical cancer and thyroid cancers. This would help drastically minimize the time and effort that specialists put into analyzing medical images, help to achieve a better therapeutic plan, and can provide a “second opinion” of computer assisted diagnosis.
文摘This paper is a study on texture analysis of Computer Tomography (CT) liver images using orthogonal moment features. Orthogonal moments are used as image feature representation in many applications like invariant pattern recognition of images. Orthogonal moments are proposed here for the diagnosis of any abnormalities on the CT images. The objective of the proposed work is to carry out the comparative study of the performance of orthogonal moments like Zernike, Racah and Legendre moments for the detection of abnormal tissue on CT liver images. The Region of Interest (ROI) based segmentation and watershed segmentation are applied to the input image and the features are extracted with the orthogonal moments and analyses are made with the combination of orthogonal moment with segmentation that provides better accuracy while detecting the tumor. This computational model is tested with many inputs and the performance of the orthogonal moments with segmentation for the texture analysis of CT scan images is computed and compared.
