Abstract

Accurate segmentation of myocardial scar tissue on late gadolinium enhancement-magnetic cardiac resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) is exceptionally vital for clinical applications, enabling precise diagnosis and effective treatment of various cardiac diseases, such as myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathies. However, the ventricle (LV) variations in the size and shape, artifacts, and image resolution of LGE-CMR has made automatic segmentation of myocardial scar tissue more challenging. While many existing approaches delineate the LV myocardium region using multi-modal segmentation, these models may be computationally complex and suffer from misalignment. Therefore, this study proposed an automatic dual-stage DeepLabV3+ based approach tailored for myocardial scar segmentation on short-axis LGE-MRI exclusively. To segment myocardial scar tissue, the second stage employs the segmented LV chamber from the previous stage. The encoder part of the framework utilizes a MobileNetV2 and ResNet50 backbone for the first and second segmentation, respectively, aiming for optimal resolution of feature maps. Both stages tailor an improved Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling module in the DeepLabV3+ model with fine-tuned dilated atrous rates to effectively extract the LV chamber and myocardial scar from the complex LGE-MRI background. Based on the results, the proposed dual-stage network recorded an outstanding segmentation performance, with mean Dice score of 96.02% for LV chamber segmentation and 68.01% for scar tissue extraction.

Abstract

The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been explored for mammogram cancer classification to aid radiologists. CNNs require multiple convolution and non-linearity repetitions to learn data sparsity, but deeper networks often face the vanishing gradient effect, which hinders effective learning. The rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function activates neurons only when the output exceeds zero, limiting activation and potentially lowering performance. This study proposes an adaptive ReLU based on a genetic algorithm (GA) to determine the optimal threshold for neuron activation, thus improving the restrictive nature of the original ReLU. We compared performances on the INbreast and IPPT-mammo mammogram datasets using ReLU and leakyReLU activation functions. Results show accuracy improvements from 95.0% to 97.01% for INbreast and 84.9% to 87.4% for IPPT-mammo with ReLU and from 93.03% to 99.0% for INbreast and 84.03% to 91.06% for IPPT-mammo with leakyReLU. Significant accuracy improvements were observed for breast cancer classification in mammograms, demonstrating its potential to aid radiologists with more robust and reliable diagnostic tools.

Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among people worldwide. The primary aim of this research is to establish an image processing method for lung cancer detection. This paper focuses on lung region segmentation from computed tomography (CT) scan images. In this work, a new procedure for lung region segmentation is proposed. First, the lung CT scan images will undergo an image thresholding stage before going through two morphological reconstruction and masking stages. In between morphological and masking stages, object extraction, border change, and object elimination will occur. Finally, the lung field will be annotated. The outcomes of the proposed procedure and previous lung segmentation methods i.e., the modified watershed segmentation method is compared with the ground truth images for performance evaluation that will be carried out both in qualitative and quantitative manners. Based on the analyses, the new proposed procedure for lung segmentation, denotes better performance, an increment by 0.02% to 3.5% in quantitative analysis. The proposed procedure produced better-segmented images for qualitative analysis and became the most frequently selected method by the 22 experts. This study shows that the outcome from the proposed method outperforms the existing modified watershed segmentation method.
