Abstract

Abstract Medical image classification plays an essential role in clinical treatment and teaching tasks. However, the traditional method has reached its ceiling on performance. Moreover, by using them, much time and effort need to be spent on extracting and selecting classification features. The deep neural network is an emerging machine learning method that has proven its potential for different classification tasks. Notably, the convolutional neural network dominates with the best results on varying image classification tasks. However, medical image datasets are hard to collect because it needs a lot of professional expertise to label them. Therefore, this paper researches how to apply the convolutional neural network (CNN) based algorithm on a chest X-ray dataset to classify pneumonia. Three techniques are evaluated through experiments. These are linear support vector machine classifier with local rotation and orientation free features, transfer learning on two convolutional neural network models: Visual Geometry Group i.e., VGG16 and InceptionV3, and a capsule network training from scratch. Data augmentation is a data preprocessing method applied to all three methods. The results of the experiments show that data augmentation generally is an effective way for all three algorithms to improve performance. Also, Transfer learning is a more useful classification method on a small dataset compared to a support vector machine with oriented fast and rotated binary (ORB) robust independent elementary features and capsule network. In transfer learning, retraining specific features on a new target dataset is essential to improve performance. And, the second important factor is a proper network complexity that matches the scale of the dataset.

  • Deep learning methods, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks, have become the foundation of various Computer Assisted Diagnostic systems due to their ability to detect medical image abnormalities with high accuracy, including COVID-19 and pneumonia.

    “In recent years, deep learning (DL) methodologies, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have emerged as powerful tools for automatically detecting chest diseases using medical images like CT scans and X-rays [2–4].”
  • The architectures VGG-19, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, DenseNet169, and MobileNetV2 have shown promising results in similar automatic diagnostic tasks in medical imaging.

    “To this end, we trained several CNN models, including VGG-19, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, DenseNet169 and MobileNetV2 on both datasets. These architectures have shown promising results in similar automatic diagnostic tasks in medical imaging [4, 5].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
