Detecting and Extracting Brain Hemorrhages from CT Images Using Generative Convolutional Imaging Scheme

Automated Computer-Aided Detection and Classification of Intracranial Hemorrhage Using Ensemble Deep Learning Techniques

Diagnosing Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) at an early stage is difficult since it affects the blood vessels in the brain, often resulting in death. We propose an ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) combining Squeeze and Excitation-based Residual Networks with the next dimension (SE-ResNeXT) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks in order to address this issue. This research work primarily used data from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) brain CT hemorrhage challenge dataset and the CQ500 dataset. Preprocessing and data augmentation are performed using the windowing technique in the proposed work. The ICH is then classified using ensembled CNN techniques after being preprocessed, followed by feature extraction in an automatic manner. ICH is classified into the following five types: epidural, intraventricular, subarachnoid, intra-parenchymal, and subdural. A gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping method (Grad-CAM) is used for identifying the region of interest in an ICH image. A number of performance measures are used to compare the experimental results with various state-of-the-art algorithms. By achieving 99.79% accuracy with an F-score of 0.97, the proposed model proved its efficacy in detecting ICH compared to other deep learning models. The proposed ensembled model can classify epidural, intraventricular, subarachnoid, intra-parenchymal, and subdural hemorrhages with an accuracy of 99.89%, 99.65%, 98%, 99.75%, and 99.88%. Simulation results indicate that the suggested approach can categorize a variety of intracranial bleeding types. By implementing the ensemble deep learning technique using the SE-ResNeXT and LSTM models, we achieved significant classification accuracy and AUC scores.

A revolutionary acute subdural hematoma detection based on two-tiered artificial intelligence model

BACKGROUND

The article was planned to make the first evaluation in terms of acute subdural hemorrhages, thinking that it can help in appropriate pathologies by tomography interpretation with the artificial intelligence (AI) method, at least in a way to quickly warn the responsible doctor.

METHODS

A two-level AI-based hybrid method was developed. The proposed model uses the mask-region convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) technique, which is a deep learning model, in the hemorrhagic region's mask generation stage, and a problem-specific, optimized support vector machines (SVM) technique which is a machine learning model in the binary classification stage. Furthermore, the bee colony algorithm was used for the optimization of SVM algorithms' parameters.

RESULTS

In the first stage, the mean average precision (mAP) value was obtained as 0.754 when the intercept over union (IOU) value was taken as 0.5 with the Mask R-CNN architecture used. At the same time, when a 5-fold cross-validation was applied, the mAP value was obtained 0.736. With the hyperparameter optimization for both Mask R-CNN and the SVM algorithm, the accuracy of the two-level classification process was obtained as 96.36%. Furthermore, final false-negative rate and false-positive rate values were obtained as 6.20%, and 2.57%, respectively.

CONCLUSION

With the proposed model, both the detection of hemorrhage and the presentation of the suspicious area to the physician were performed more successfully on two dimensional (2D) images with low cost and high accuracy compared to similar studies and today's interpretations with telemedicine techniques.

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-Based Smart Healthcare System: Trends and Progress

Internet of Medical Thing (IoMT) is the most emerging era of the Internet of Thing (IoT), which is exponentially gaining researchers' attention with every passing day because of its wide applicability in Smart Healthcare systems (SHS). Because of the current pandemic situation, it is highly risky for an individual to visit the doctor for every small problem. Hence, using IoMT devices, we can easily monitor our day-to-day health records, and thereby initial precautions can be taken on our own. IoMT is playing a crucial role within the healthcare industry to increase the accuracy, reliability, and productivity of electronic devices. This research work provides an overview of IoMT with emphasis on various enabling techniques used in smart healthcare systems (SHS), such as radio frequency identification (RFID), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. We are providing a comparative analysis of various IoMT architectures proposed by several researchers. Also, we have defined various health domains of IoMT, including the analysis of different sensors with their application environment, merits, and demerits. In addition, we have figured out key protocol design challenges, which are to be considered during the implementation of an IoMT network-based smart healthcare system. Considering these challenges, we prepared a comparative study for different data collection techniques that can be used to maintain the accuracy of collected data. In addition, this research work also provides a comprehensive study for maintaining the energy efficiency of an AI-based IoMT framework based on various parameters, such as the amount of energy consumed, packet delivery ratio, battery lifetime, quality of service, power drain, network throughput, delay, and transmission rate. Finally, we have provided different correlation equations for finding the accuracy and efficiency within the IoMT-based healthcare system using artificial intelligence. We have compared different data collection algorithms graphically based on their accuracy and error rate. Similarly, different energy efficiency algorithms are also graphically compared based on their energy consumption and packet loss percentage. We have analyzed our references used in this study, which are graphically represented based on their distribution of publication year and publication avenue.
