Fuzzy System Based Medical Image Processing for Brain Disease Prediction

Abstract

The present work aims to explore the performance of fuzzy system-based medical image processing for predicting the brain disease. The imaging mechanism of NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and the complexity of human brain tissues cause the brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images to present varying degrees of noise, weak boundaries, and artifacts. Hence, improvements are made over the fuzzy clustering algorithm. A brain image processing and brain disease diagnosis prediction model is designed based on improved fuzzy clustering and HPU-Net (Hybrid Pyramid U-Net Model for Brain Tumor Segmentation) to ensure the model safety performance. Brain MRI images collected from a Hospital, are employed in simulation experiments to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Moreover, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), FCM (Fuzzy C-Means), LDCFCM (Local Density Clustering Fuzzy C-Means), and AFCM (Adaptive Fuzzy C-Means) are included in simulation experiments for performance comparison. Results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has more nodes, lower energy consumption, and more stable changes than other models under the same conditions. Regarding the overall network performance, the proposed algorithm can complete the data transmission tasks the fastest, basically maintaining at about 4.5 s on average, which performs remarkably better than other models. A further prediction performance analysis reveals that the proposed algorithm provides the highest prediction accuracy for the Whole Tumor under DSC (Dice Similarity Coefficient), reaching 0.936. Besides, its Jaccard coefficient is 0.845, proving its superior segmentation accuracy over other models. In a word, the proposed algorithm can provide higher accuracy, a more apparent denoising effect, and the best segmentation and recognition effect than other models while ensuring energy consumption. The results can provide an experimental basis for the feature recognition and predictive diagnosis of brain images.

Deep Learning-Based Computed Tomography Imaging to Diagnose the Lung Nodule and Treatment Effect of Radiofrequency Ablation

“…The number of deaths of lung cancer patients in China is close to one-fifth of cancer deaths. Early detection and diagnosis and early treatment of lung cancer are the key to effectively reduce their mortality [ 2 ]. In the early stage of lung cancer, the main symptom is the appearance of nodules with a diameter of no more than 3 cm in the patient's lungs.…”

Deep Learning-Based Segmentation of Various Brain Lesions for Radiosurgery

“…In MICCAI BraTS 2017 competition [17], most participants used U-Net variants, as the winner [18] simply ensembled three kinds of the most common deep learning models, namely FCN (fully convolutional network) [19], V-Net [20], and DeepMedic [13]. Other than deep learning, some studies on brain cancer segmentation took advantage of fuzzy c-means clustering [21][22][23], cellular automata [24], random walker [8], and so on [5,7,25,26]. However, they are not deep learning by not possessing over two hidden layers and will not be further discussed.…”

“…Heterogeneity could have been considered a major problem for machine learning decades ago; however, it should be considered a real-world situation. A heterogeneous dataset could help the generalizability and transferability of trained models [11,23,25,[30][31][32]. However, in the previously-mentioned studies, small sample sizes were important contributors to the lack of confidence to infer the generalization of deep-learning models in clinical practices with heterogeneous lesion types.…”

Deep-Learning-Based CT Imaging in the Quantitative Evaluation of Chronic Kidney Diseases

“…It can provide complete three-dimensional information of the part of the body being examined, clearly displaying the organs and structures, as well as the lesions. The biggest advantage is that it can be viewed in layers so that more organizational information can be displayed after calculation [ 6 ]. Therefore, the application of CT in kidney examination is a hotspot of current research.…”
