Classification of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia based on White Blood Cell Images using InceptionV3 Model

Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia that occurs in children. Detection of ALL through white blood cell image analysis can help with the prognosis and appropriate treatment. In this study, the author proposes an approach to classifying ALL based on white blood cell images using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model called InceptionV3. The dataset used in this research consists of white blood cell images collected from patients with ALL and healthy individuals. These images were obtained from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), which is a service that stores large-scale cancer medical images available to the public. During the evaluation phase, the author used training data evaluation metrics such as accuracy and loss to measure the model's performance. The research results show that the InceptionV3 model is capable of classifying white blood cell images with a high level of accuracy. This model achieves an average ALL recognition accuracy of 0.9896 with a loss of 0.031. The use of CNN models such as InceptionV3 in medical image analysis has the potential to improve the efficiency and precision of image-based disease diagnosis.
