Performance Assessment of Deep Learning Models on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Type Classification

In recent years, lung cancer incidents are very high with equally high mortality rate. The main reason for fatal incidences is the late diagnosis and confirmation of the disease at an advanced stage. Identification of the disease at an early stage using lung Computed Tomography (CT) offers tremendous scope for timely medical intervention. The article illustrates the use of deep transfer learning-based pre-trained models for the diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The datasets were chosen from Chest CT Scan Images and the Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC), containing over 3,179 images depicting three NSCLC types, namely, normal, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. The process is designed to measure the accuracy of NSCLC detection with an experimental dataset using approaches with and without pre-processing of lung images. The transfer learning models use deep learning and produce good results in prediction and classification. The image dataset was first handled by the convolutional neural networks DenseNet121, ResNet50, InceptionV3, VGG16, Xception, and VGG19. As a second phase, input images were subjected to contrast/brightness enhancement using Multi Level Dualistic Sub Image Histogram Equalization (ML-DSIHE). Enhanced images were further processed using shape-based feature extraction. Finally, those features input to CNN models and the results recorded. Among these models, VGG16 achieved the highest accuracy of 81.42% using the original dataset and 91.64% with the enhanced dataset. The performance of these two approaches was also evaluated using Precision, Recall, F1-Score, Accuracy, and Loss. It is confirmed that VGG16 gives highly reliable accuracy when trained upon enhanced images.

Innovative Deep Learning Approach for Parkinson's Disease Prediction: Leveraging Convolutional Neural Networks for Early Detection

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement control, highlighting the importance of timely detection and intervention to improve patient quality of life. However, accurate diagnosis remains challenging due to its similarity with other neurological conditions, leading to a 25% rate of inaccurate manual diagnoses.

In this study, we introduce an innovative automated diagnostic model using CNN that gives an appropriate output about if the person is diagnosed with PD or not.OBJECTIVES: The study aims to develop an automated diagnostic model using CNNs to accurately diagnose PD. By leveraging the Parkinson Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) dataset, which provides benchmarked MRI images of PD and healthy controls, the model seeks to differentiate between PD and non-PD cases.METHODS: A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning algorithm that is suitable for medical image classification and analysis as they are able to learn complex patterns in images and identify the hidden patterns and trend of data.

Efficient Gene Expression Data Analysis using ES-DBN For Microarray Cancer Data Classification

INTRODUCTION: DNA microarray has become a promising means for classification of various cancer types via the creation of various Gene Expression (GE) profiles, with the advancement of technologies. But, it is challenging to classify the GE profile since not all genes contribute to the presence of cancer and might lead to incorrect diagnoses. Thus an efficient GE data analysis for microarray cancer data classification using Exponential Sigmoid-Deep Belief Network (ES-DBN) is proposed in this work.OBJECTIVES: The study aims to develop an efficient GE data analysis using Exponential Sigmoid-Deep Belief Network (ES-DBN) for microarray cancer data classification.METHODS: The proposed methodology starts with pre-processing to compact data. Afterward, by utilizing Min-Max feature scaling technique, the pre-processed data is normalized. The normalized data is further encoded and feature ranking is performed. The subset values are selected using Cauchy Mutation-Coral Reefs Optimization (CM-CRO) in feature ranking. The feature vector is calculated by Pearson Correlation Coefficient based GloVe (PCC-GloVe) algorithm since different subsets return the same fitness value. Statistical and Biological validations take place after feature vector calculation. Lastly, for effective classification of the type of cancer, the vector features obtained are fed to ES-DBN.RESULTS: The outcomes of the proposed technique are evaluated with various datasets, which exhibited that the proposed technique performed well with the Ovarian cancer dataset and outperforms other conventional approaches.CONCLUSION: This study presents a comprehensive methodology for efficiently classifying cancer types using GE profile. The proposed GE data analysis using ES-DBN shows promising results, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for cancer diagnosis and classification.
