Multi-Layer ResNet-DenseNet architecture in consort with the XgBoost classifier for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) subtype detection and classification

Abstract

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is defined as bleeding occurs in the brain and causes vascular abnormality, tumor, venous Infarction, therapeutic anticoagulation, trauma property, and cerebral aneurysm. It is a dangerous disease and increases high mortality rate within the age of 15 to 24. It may be cured by finding what type of ICH is affected in the brain within short period with more accuracy. The previous method did not provide adequate accuracy and increase the computational time. Therefore, in this manuscript Detection and Categorization of Acute Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) subtypes using a Multi-Layer DenseNet-ResNet Architecture with Improved Random Forest Classifier (IRF) is proposed to detect the subtypes of ICH with high accuracy, less computational time with maximal speed. Here, the brain CT images are collected from Physionet repository publicly dataset. Then the images are pre-processed to eliminate the noises. After that, the image features are extracted by using multi layer Densely Connected Convolutional Network (DenseNet) combined with Residual Network (ResNet) architecture with multiple Convolutional layers. The sub types of ICH (Epidural Hemorrhage (EDH), Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH), Subdural Hemorrhage (SDH), Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH), normal is classified by using Improved Random Forest (IRF) Classifier with high accuracy. The simulation is activated in MATLAB platform. The proposed Multilayer-DenseNet-ResNet-IRF approach attains higher accuracy 23.44%, 31.93%, 42.83%, 41.9% compared with existing approaches, like Detection with classification of intracranial haemorrhage on CT images utilizing new deep-learning algorithm (ICH-DC-CNN), Detection with classification of intracranial haemorrhage on CT images utilizing new deep-learning algorithm (ICH-DC-CNN-ResNet-50), Shallow 3D CNN for detecting acute brain hemorrhage from medical imaging sensors (ICH-DC-S-3D-CNN), Convolutional neural network: a review of models, methods and applications to object detection (ICH-DC-CNN-AlexNet) respectively.
