Summary

Artificial intelligence showed a huge interest, especially in the area of medical imaging from the last three years. Due to the spread of medical imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Dermoscopic images, X-Ray images, Mammograms, and histological images, enormous amounts of data are being generated related to these medical domains. The data is generated in the form of some images and related to health informatics. However, the amount of this data is too large and difficult to use by employing classical techniques (i.e. hand crafted features). The question is that how we can use this big amount of biomedical data to build the automated system with better accuracy and less computational time. Also, how we can utilize this data to develop an automated system for better diagnosis of cancers such as brain tumor, skin cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, COVID19 infected patients, and breast cancer. To handle the large amount of biomedical data, researchers of computer vision used deep learning. However, they facing several issues (i.e. high data dimensionality and imbalanced datasets) and to these issues, the performance of system were degraded. Therefore, the most of existing solutions are based on the balanced datasets which is not a good option for the multiclass classification problem. Therefore, it is essential to develop some advanced deep learning techniques. Also, it is required to develop dimensionality reduction techniques to minimize the prediction time. Also, the less prediction time can be useful for real-time computerized system.

    Abstract This paper focuses on detecting diseased signals and arrhythmias classification into two classes: ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular contraction. The sole purpose of the signal detection is used to determine if a signal has been collected from a healthy or sick person. The proposed research approach presents a mathematical model for the signal detector based on calculating the instantaneous frequency (IF). Once a signal taken from a patient is detected, then the classifier takes that signal as input and classifies the target disease by predicting the class label. While applying the classifier, templates are designed separately for ventricular tachycardia and… More >

    Abstract

    Abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract are widespread worldwide today. Generally, an effective way to diagnose these life-threatening diseases is based on endoscopy, which comprises a vast number of images. However, the main challenge in this area is that the process is time-consuming and fatiguing for a gastroenterologist to examine every image in the set. Thus, this led to the rise of studies on designing AI-based systems to assist physicians in the diagnosis. In several medical imaging tasks, deep learning methods, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have contributed to the state-of-the-art outcomes, where the complicated nonlinear relation between target classes and… More >

    Abstract

    Malaria is a severe illness triggered by parasites that spreads via mosquito bites. In underdeveloped nations, malaria is one of the top causes of mortality, and it is mainly diagnosed through microscopy. Computer-assisted malaria diagnosis is difficult owing to the fine-grained differences throughout the presentation of some uninfected and infected groups. Therefore, in this study, we present a new idea based on the ensemble quantum-classical framework for malaria classification. The methods comprise three core steps: localization, segmentation, and classification. In the first core step, an improved FRCNN model is proposed for the localization of the infected malaria cells. Then, the… More >

    Abstract Skin diseases effectively influence all parts of life. Early and accurate detection of skin cancer is necessary to avoid significant loss. The manual detection of skin diseases by dermatologists leads to misclassification due to the same intensity and color levels. Therefore, an automated system to identify these skin diseases is required. Few studies on skin disease classification using different techniques have been found. However, previous techniques failed to identify multi-class skin disease images due to their similar appearance. In the proposed study, a computer-aided framework for automatic skin disease detection is presented. In the proposed research, we collected and normalized… More >

    Abstract Malaria is a critical health condition that affects both sultry and frigid region worldwide, giving rise to millions of cases of disease and thousands of deaths over the years. Malaria is caused by parasites that enter the human red blood cells, grow there, and damage them over time. Therefore, it is diagnosed by a detailed examination of blood cells under the microscope. This is the most extensively used malaria diagnosis technique, but it yields limited and unreliable results due to the manual human involvement. In this work, an automated malaria blood smear classification model is proposed, which takes images of… More >
