Abstract

The quality of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images is often compromised by various types of noise, such as salt, pepper, salt-and-pepper, and speckle noise, caused by technical or environmental disturbances. This study aims to develop a brain MRI image denoising model based on the U-Net architecture, capable of effectively removing different types of noise. The methodology includes collecting normal brain MRI datasets, applying data augmentation to increase variability, and introducing artificial noise to simulate possible noise conditions. The U-Net model is trained and evaluated using the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) metrics. The novelty of this study lies in its combination of augmentation techniques, multi-intensity artificial noise variations, and its exclusive focus on normal brain MRI images. The results demonstrate that the U-Net model achieves optimal performance on salt-and-pepper noise at an intensity of 0.1, marked by the highest PSNR value of 37.2047 dB and the lowest MSE value of 0.000207. Conversely, the model shows the lowest performance on high-intensity speckle noise, indicating greater challenges in addressing multiplicative noise. This study contributes a systematic and empirically tested approach to improving the quality of brain MRI images with high efficiency, supporting the development of image-based diagnostic systems in the medical field.Keywords: Deep Learning, Denoising, Image Enhancement, Noise, U-Net.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a serious global health issue, ranking as the 12th leading cause of death in 2019, with a 31.7% increase since 2010. Many CKD patients require hemodialysis, which poses risks of complications such as hypertension, hypotension, and gastrointestinal disorders, increasing mortality. This study predicts hemodialysis complications using XGBoost optimized with the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. The dataset includes numerical and categorical variables such as blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, gender, and complication history. To improve class distribution, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique is applied. Five test scenarios with different ABC parameter configurations were conducted to optimize XGBoost hyperparameters. Results indicate that balancing the dataset with SMOTE enhances model accuracy. Among the tested scenarios, Test 3, with ABC parameters n_bees set to 30, max_iter set to 30, and limit set to 10, achieved the highest accuracy, increasing from 89% (unbalanced) to 94% (balanced). Although training time increased, the improved performance highlights the potential of the XGBoost-ABC framework for early complication detection. This approach can enhance patient care, reduce mortality risks, and support clinical decision-making for hemodialysis patients.
