Abstract

Skin disease classification with deep learning has shown promising performance, however many models are primarily trained on datasets featuring light skin tones, which raises question about their effectiveness across a variety of akin types. This study analyses the response of a ResNet50 model based on transfer learning when faced with different skin tones in order to classifying skin disease using medical images. The model was trained on the HAM100000 which categorized into three classes: benign, malignant, and non-neoplastic. A bias analysis was then performed using the Fitzpatrick 17k dataset. The model demonstrated an overall accuracy of 70.85%, a precision rate of 74.03%, and a recall rate of 65.51%. Further analysis showed that the model had a consistent pattern of predicting malignant cases, which increased with darker skin tones, rising from 54% to 68.3%. To mitigate this issue, a threshold tuning approach was applied. After mitigation, the model achieved an accuracy of 74%, a weighted F1-score of 76%, dan a macro F1-score of 55%. Fairness evaluation after mitigation showed tha the proportion of malignant predictions increased from 56,3% in FST I to 69,9% in FST VI. These findings suggest that threshold tuning can improve classification performance and partially reduce bias intensity.

Abstract

Leukemia is a hematological malignancy requiring early and accurate diagnosis for optimal patient outcomes, yet conventional microscopic examination remains subjective, time-consuming, and prone to inter-observer variability. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of two state-of-the-art deep learning architectures EfficientNet-B0 and ConvNeXt-Tiny for multi-class blood cell classification aimed at early leukemia detection. Using a balanced dataset of 5,000 microscopic images encompassing five clinically significant classes (basophil, erythroblast, monocyte, myeloblast, and segmented neutrophil), both models were trained and evaluated under identical configurations with extensive data augmentation. Performance assessment encompassed classification metrics, inference speed, and interpretability through Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) validated by randomization and occlusion tests. Results demonstrated that both architectures achieved exceptional performance with F1-scores exceeding 98% (EfficientNet-B0: 0.9893, ConvNeXt: 0.9920). ConvNeXt exhibited superior accuracy in distinguishing morphologically similar cells, attributed to its larger receptive fields and advanced architectural design, while EfficientNet-B0 demonstrated dramatic computational advantages with 134 FPS throughput and a compact model size of 18.3 MB six times smaller than ConvNeXt. Grad-CAM visualizations confirmed that both models focus on clinically relevant features including nuclear morphology and cytoplasmic characteristics, validated by low correlation with randomized models (average correlation <0.28) and significantly larger confidence drops during important region occlusion (6-18× greater than random occlusion). The findings establish evidence-based guidelines for model selection, ConvNeXt for high-precision diagnostic applications and EfficientNet-B0 for large-scale screening and edge deployment. This research contributes foundational evidence toward the development of transparent, reliable, and efficient computer-aided diagnosis systems, though prospective clinical validation on multi-institutional datasets remains an important direction for future work.

Abstract

Chest radiography (Chest X-Ray) remains the primary imaging modality for thoracic disease diagnosis, yet remains susceptible to misdiagnosis due to anatomical complexity and overlapping pathologies. This study proposes a multi-label Deep Learning framework based on the MobileNetV2 architecture for simultaneous classification of 14 pulmonary pathologies. To address the extreme class imbalance inherent in medical datasets, a two-stage fine-tuning strategy, ColorJitter augmentation, and class weighting (pos_weight) in the Binary Cross-Entropy Loss function were implemented. Furthermore, probability threshold optimization was performed dynamically for each class using Youden’s J Statistic. Ablation study results indicate that the baseline model achieved Mean AUROC of 0.828, while the proposed method achieved Mean AUROC of 0.822. However, this marginal trade-off was strategically accepted to achieve the primary clinical objective: dramatically improving sensitivity (Recall) on critical minority pathologies, including Cardiomegaly (from 73.6% to 85.1%), Fibrosis (64.6% to 72.5%), and Hernia (71.9% to 75.0%). This framework enables simultaneous multi-label classification of 14 pulmonary pathologies using independent sigmoid activations, which inherently supports the detection of co-occurring conditions without enforcing mutual exclusivity. Consequently, the approach demonstrates enhanced clinical utility as a medical screening instrument by substantially suppressing false negative rates for high-risk pathologies. When deployed as a Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system with appropriate clinical validation, this framework demonstrates the potential to serve as a secondary screening tool in healthcare settings with limited access to specialist radiologists, particularly for detecting high-risk pathologies such as Cardiomegaly and Fibrosis.

Abstract

Brain tumor is one of the most critical diseases with high mortality rates requiring early and accurate diagnosis. This study proposes a deep learning-based brain tumor classification system using the ConvNeXt-Base architecture to classify four categories: glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, and no tumor. To further advance this field, this study addresses two open challenges in prior literature, the need for larger and more diverse datasets to ensure model robustness, and the demand for model transparency (resolving the black-box problem) to facilitate clinical adoption.. To address these, this study combines MRI images from three public sources, Figshare (Cheng et al., 2016), Br35H (Hamada, 2020), and Mendeley (Hira et al., 2025), totaling 11,474 unique images after perceptual hash-based deduplication. The model was trained using progressive unfreezing with AdamW optimizer, CosineAnnealingLR scheduler, and class-weighted cross-entropy loss. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) is integrated as an Explainable AI (XAI) approach to visualize the regions influencing model decisions. The proposed ConvNeXt-Base model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%, macro precision of 99.23%, macro recall of 99.22%, macro F1-score of 99.22%, and macro AUC-ROC of 0.9995 on the test set. Grad-CAM visualizations confirm that the model focuses on clinically relevant tumor regions, particularly the sella turcica for pituitary tumors and distinct mass boundaries for meningioma, thereby improving interpretability and clinical trustworthiness of the AI system.
