Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) Detection Based on Deep Learning

Toqa Abd Ul-Mohsen Sadoon, Mohammed Hussein Ali

Pages: 408-415

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Deep learning modeling could provide to detected Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19) which is a critical task these days to make a treatment decision according to the diagnostic results. On the other hand, advances in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and medical imaging techniques allow demonstrating impressive performance, especially in problems of detection, classification, and segmentation. These innovations enabled physicians to see the human body with high accuracy, which led to an increase in the accuracy of diagnosis and non-surgical examination of patients. There are many imaging models used to detect COVID-19, but we use computerized tomography (CT) because is commonly used. Moreover, we use for detection a deep learning model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) for COVID-19 detection. The dataset has been used is 544 slice of CT scan which is not sufficient for high accuracy, but we can say that it is acceptable because of the few datasets available in these days. The proposed model achieves validation and test accuracy 84.4% and 90.09%, respectively. The proposed model has been compared with other models to prove superiority of our model over the other models.

An Overview of Medical Image Segmentation Methods

Hussain A. Jaber, Basma A. Al-Ghali, Muna M. Kareem, Ilyas Çankaya, Oktay Algin

Pages: 420-435

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in the realm of medical imaging. The process involves the division of an image to obtain a comprehensive view and ensure precise diagnostics. There are various methods that are employed, ranging from traditional approaches to the more advanced deep learning techniques. Both play a significant role in enhancing healthcare. With the continuous advancement in technology, there is a growing need for accurate segmentation. While traditional methods such as thresholding and region growing are effective, they may require human intervention for complex cases. Deep learning techniques, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have significantly improved the process by learning intricate details and accurately segmenting the image. When these methods are combined, healthcare professionals can achieve high-quality, precise results. Furthermore, with the advancements in hardware and technology, real-time segmentation is now possible. Generally, the process of dividing medical images into segments is extremely important for the progress of healthcare with the help of artificial intelligence and the most recent advancements in the industry, such as explainable AI and multimodal learning. However, this meticulously detailed and in-depth review provides an all-encompassing and extensive analysis of the current methods utilized, their multitude of applications across various fields, and the promising emerging advancements that have the potential to pave the way for remarkable future improvements and innovations.

Design of MATLAB-based Radiomics Classifier Training Simulator Powered by Pyradiomics

Muhammed Selman Erel, Hadeel Aljobouri, Esra şengün Ermeydan, Ilyas çankaya

Pages: 185-192

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Technically, medical imaging modalities are quantitative, qualitative, and semi-quantitative. Such modalities can generate meaningful and valuable quantitative and qualitative data. Correlating predictive outcomes with quantitative and qualitative data is a difficult process. Thanks to modern computational hardware and advanced machine learning algorithms, it is not a demanding job to perform predictive analysis by cultivating quantitative and qualitative data. Radiomics is a popular topic that studies quantitative data from medical images in order to obtain biologically meaningful information for diagnosis, prognosis, theragnosis, and decision support. Handcrafted radiomics is a process including features based on shape, pixel, and texture-related knowledge from medical scans. In the pursuit of advancing the field of radiomics, we have developed a cutting-edge radiomics training simulator, powered by MATLAB. This tool has been designed for those familiar with MATLAB, making it easy for them to transition into the fascinating world of radiomics. MATLAB's user-friendly interface and strong support in the engineering community provide an ideal platform for this simulator, ensuring aspiring radiomics learners have access to the resources they need for success. Throughout the paper, purpose, design details and methodology of the simulator are described.

Convolutional Neural Network Deep Learning Model for Improved Ultrasound Breast Tumor Classification

Hiba Alrubaie, Hadeel K. Aljobouri, Zainab J. AL-Jobawi, Ilyas Çankaya

Pages: 57-62

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the greatest frequent tumours among females in Iraq. Medical ultrasound imaging has become a common modality for breast tumour imaging because of its ease of use, low cost, and safety. In the present study, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) feature extraction approaches were used to classify breast ultrasound imaging. The CNN model used is composed of four-layer for breast cancer ultrasound image analysis. Two types of free datasets were used. These data were divided into groups A and B. Group A has three classes, namely benign, malignant and normal, while group B has two classes, namely, benign and malignant. The proposed technique was assessed based on its accuracy, precision, F1 score and recall. The model's classification accuracy for data A was 96%, whereas for data B was 100%.
