Empowering Diagnosis: Cutting-Edge Segmentation and Classification in Lung Cancer Analysis

Lung cancer is a leading cause of global mortality rates.Early detection of pulmonary tumors can significantly enhance the survival rate of patients.Recently,various Computer-Aided Diagnostic(CAD)methods have been developed to enhance the detection of pulmonary nodules with high accuracy.Nevertheless,the existing method-ologies cannot obtain a high level of specificity and sensitivity.The present study introduces a novel model for Lung Cancer Segmentation and Classification(LCSC),which incorporates two improved architectures,namely the improved U-Net architecture and the improved AlexNet architecture.The LCSC model comprises two distinct stages.The first stage involves the utilization of an improved U-Net architecture to segment candidate nodules extracted from the lung lobes.Subsequently,an improved AlexNet architecture is employed to classify lung cancer.During the first stage,the proposed model demonstrates a dice accuracy of 0.855,a precision of 0.933,and a recall of 0.789 for the segmentation of candidate nodules.The suggested improved AlexNet architecture attains 97.06%accuracy,a true positive rate of 96.36%,a true negative rate of 97.77%,a positive predictive value of 97.74%,and a negative predictive value of 96.41%for classifying pulmonary cancer as either benign or malignant.The proposed LCSC model is tested and evaluated employing the publically available dataset furnished by the Lung Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative(LIDC-IDRI).This proposed technique exhibits remarkable performance compared to the existing methods by using various evaluation parameters.

Lung Cancer Detection Using Modified AlexNet Architecture and Support Vector Machine

Lung cancer is the most dangerous and death-causing disease indicated by the presence of pulmonary nodules in the lung.It is mostly caused by the instinctive growth of cells in the lung.Lung nodule detection has a significant role in detecting and screening lung cancer in Computed tomography(CT)scan images.Early detection plays an important role in the survival rate and treatment of lung cancer patients.Moreover,pulmonary nodule classification techniques based on the convolutional neural network can be used for the accurate and efficient detection of lung cancer.This work proposed an automatic nodule detection method in CT images based on modified AlexNet architecture and Support vector machine(SVM)algorithm namely LungNet-SVM.The proposed model consists of seven convolutional layers,three pooling layers,and two fully connected layers used to extract features.Support vector machine classifier is applied for the binary classification of nodules into benign andmalignant.The experimental analysis is performed by using the publicly available benchmark dataset Lung nodule analysis 2016(LUNA16).The proposed model has achieved 97.64%of accuracy,96.37%of sensitivity,and 99.08%of specificity.A comparative analysis has been carried out between the proposed LungNet-SVM model and existing stateof-the-art approaches for the classification of lung cancer.The experimental results indicate that the proposed LungNet-SVM model achieved remarkable performance on a LUNA16 dataset in terms of accuracy.

Intelligent Breast Cancer Prediction Empowered with Fusion and Deep Learning

Breast cancer is the most frequently detected tumor that eventually could result in a significant increase in female mortality globally.According to clinical statistics,one woman out of eight is under the threat of breast cancer.Lifestyle and inheritance patterns may be a reason behind its spread among women.However,some preventive measures,such as tests and periodic clinical checks can mitigate its risk thereby,improving its survival chances substantially.Early diagnosis and initial stage treatment can help increase the survival rate.For that purpose,pathologists can gather support from nondestructive and efficient computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems.This study explores the breast cancer CAD method relying on multimodal medical imaging and decision-based fusion.In multimodal medical imaging fusion,a deep learning approach is applied,obtaining 97.5%accuracy with a 2.5%miss rate for breast cancer prediction.A deep extreme learning machine technique applied on feature-based data provided a 97.41%accuracy.Finally,decisionbased fusion applied to both breast cancer prediction models to diagnose its stages,resulted in an overall accuracy of 97.97%.The proposed system model provides more accurate results compared with other state-of-the-art approaches,rapidly diagnosing breast cancer to decrease its mortality rate.

Supervised Machine Learning-Based Prediction of COVID-19

COVID-19 turned out to be an infectious and life-threatening viral disease,and its swift and overwhelming spread has become one of the greatest challenges for the world.As yet,no satisfactory vaccine or medication has been developed that could guarantee its mitigation,though several efforts and trials are underway.Countries around the globe are striving to overcome the COVID-19 spread and while they are finding out ways for early detection and timely treatment.In this regard,healthcare experts,researchers and scientists have delved into the investigation of existing as well as new technologies.The situation demands development of a clinical decision support system to equip the medical staff ways to timely detect this disease.The state-of-the-art research in Artificial intelligence(AI),Machine learning(ML)and cloud computing have encouraged healthcare experts to find effective detection schemes.This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the role of AI&ML in investigating prediction techniques for the COVID-19.A mathematical model has been formulated to analyze and detect its potential threat.The proposed model is a cloud-based smart detection algorithm using support vector machine(CSDC-SVM)with cross-fold validation testing.The experimental results have achieved an accuracy of 98.4%with 15-fold cross-validation strategy.The comparison with similar state-of-the-art methods reveals that the proposed CSDC-SVM model possesses better accuracy and efficiency.

Intelligent Decision Support System for COVID-19 Empowered with Deep Learning

The prompt spread of Coronavirus(COVID-19)subsequently adorns a big threat to the people around the globe.The evolving and the perpetually diagnosis of coronavirus has become a critical challenge for the healthcare sector.Drastically increase of COVID-19 has rendered the necessity to detect the people who are more likely to get infected.Lately,the testing kits for COVID-19 are not available to deal it with required proficiency,along with-it countries have been widely hit by the COVID-19 disruption.To keep in view the need of hour asks for an automatic diagnosis system for early detection of COVID-19.It would be a feather in the cap if the early diagnosis of COVID-19 could reveal that how it has been affecting the masses immensely.According to the apparent clinical research,it has unleashed that most of the COVID-19 cases are more likely to fall for a lung infection.The abrupt changes do require a solution so the technology is out there to pace up,Chest X-ray and Computer tomography(CT)scan images could significantly identify the preliminaries of COVID-19 like lungs infection.CT scan and X-ray images could flourish the cause of detecting at an early stage and it has proved to be helpful to radiologists and the medical practitioners.The unbearable circumstances compel us to flatten the curve of the sufferers so a need to develop is obvious,a quick and highly responsive automatic system based on Artificial Intelligence(AI)is always there to aid against the masses to be prone to COVID-19.The proposed Intelligent decision support system for COVID-19 empowered with deep learning(ID2S-COVID19-DL)study suggests Deep learning(DL)based Convolutional neural network(CNN)approaches for effective and accurate detection to the maximum extent it could be,detection of coronavirus is assisted by using X-ray and CT-scan images.The primary experimental results here have depicted the maximum accuracy for training and is around 98.11 percent and for validation it comes out to be approximately 95.5 percent while statistical parameters like sensitivity and specificity for training is 98.03 percent and 98.20 percent respectively,and for validation 94.38 percent and 97.06 percent respectively.The suggested Deep Learning-based CNN model unleashed here opts for a comparable performance with medical experts and it ishelpful to enhance the working productivity of radiologists. It could take the curvedown with the downright contribution of radiologists, rapid detection ofCOVID-19, and to overcome this current pandemic with the proven efficacy.
