OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We seek to develop an automated deep learning-based method for segmentation and volumetric quantification of the fetal brain on T2-weighted fetal MRIs. We will evaluate the performance of the algorithm by comparing it to gold standard manual segmentations. The method will be used to create a normative sample of brain volumes across gestational ages. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will adapt a U-Net convolutional neural network architecture for fetal brain MRIs using 3D volumes. After re-sampling 2D fetal brain acquisitions to 3mm3 3D volumes using linear interpolation, the network will be trained to perform automated brain segmentation on 40 randomly-sampled, normal fetal brain MRI scans of singleton pregnancies. Training will be performed in 3 acquisition planes (axial, coronal, sagittal). Performance will be evaluated on 10 test MRIs (in 3 acquisition planes, 30 total test samples) using Dice scores, compared to radiologists’ manual segmentations. The algorithm’s performance on measuring total brain volume will also be evaluated. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Based on the success of prior U-net architectures for volumetric segmentation tasks in medical imaging (e.g. Duong et al., 2019), we anticipate that the convolutional neural network will accurately provide segmentations and associated volumetry of fetal brains in fractions of a second. We anticipate median Dice scores greater than 0.8 across our test sample. Once validated, the method will retrospectively generate a normative database of over 1500 fetal brain volumes across gestational ages (18 weeks to 30 weeks) collected at our institution. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Quantitative estimates of brain volume, and deviations from normative data, would be a major advancement in objective clinical assessments of fetal MRI. Such data can currently only be obtained through laborious manual segmentations; automated deep learning methods have the potential to reduce the time and cost of this process.

Deep learning models are efficient in learning the features that assist in understanding complex patterns precisely. This study proposed a computerized process of classifying skin disease through deep learning based MobileNet V2 and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The MobileNet V2 model proved to be efficient with a better accuracy that can work on lightweight computational devices. The proposed model is efficient in maintaining stateful information for precise predictions. A grey-level co-occurrence matrix is used for assessing the progress of diseased growth. The performance has been compared against other state-of-the-art models such as Fine-Tuned Neural Networks (FTNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition developed by Visual Geometry Group (VGG), and convolutional neural network architecture that expanded with few changes. The HAM10000 dataset is used and the proposed method has outperformed other methods with more than 85% accuracy. Its robustness in recognizing the affected region much faster with almost 2× lesser computations than the conventional MobileNet model results in minimal computational efforts. Furthermore, a mobile application is designed for instant and proper action. It helps the patient and dermatologists identify the type of disease from the affected region’s image at the initial stage of the skin disease. These findings suggest that the proposed system can help general practitioners efficiently and effectively diagnose skin conditions, thereby reducing further complications and morbidity.

Alzheimer's disease is an extremely popular cause of dementia which leads to memory loss, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Detection of Alzheimer’s at a prior stage is crucial as it can prevent significant damage to the patient’s brain. In this paper, a method to detect Alzheimer’s  Disease from Brain MRI images is proposed. The proposed approach extracts shape features and texture of the Hippocampus region from the MRI scans and a Neural Network is used as a Multi-Class Classifier for detection of AD. The proposed approach is implemented and it gives better accuracy as compared to conventional approaches. In this paper, Convolutional Neural Network is the Neural Network approach used for the detection of AD at a prodromal stage.

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have become a standard approach for modeling genomic sequences. CNNs can be effectively built by Neural Architecture Search (NAS) by trading computing power for accurate neural architectures. Yet, the consumption of immense computing power is a major practical, financial, and environmental issue for deep learning. Here, we present a novel NAS framework, AMBIENT, that generates highly accurate CNN architectures for biological sequences of diverse functions, while substantially reducing the computing cost of conventional NAS.

Single image super-resolution using deep learning techniques has shown very high reconstruction performance over the last few years. We propose a novel three-dimensional convolutional neural network called 3D FSRCNN based on FSRCNN, which reinstates the high-resolution quality of structural MRI. The 3D neural network generates output brain images of high-resolution (HR) from a low-resolution (LR) input image. A simple design ensures less time complexity and high reconstruction quality. The network is trained using T1-weighted structural MRI images from the human connectome project dataset which is a large publicly available brain MRI database.

The development of the world's technology is growing rapidly, especially in the field of health in the form of detection tools of various objects, including disease objects. The technology in point is part of artificial intelligence that is able to recognize a set of imagery and classify automatically with deep learning techniques. One of the deep learning networks widely used is convolutional neural network with computer vision technology. One of the problems with computer vision that is still developing is object detection as a useful technology to recognize objects in the image as if humans knew the object of the image. In this case, a computer machine is trained in learning using artificial neural networks. One of the sub types of artificial neural networks that are able to handle computer vision problems is by using deep learning techniques with convolutional neural network algorithms. The purpose of this research is to find out how to design the system, the network architecture used for COVID-19 infection detection. The system cannot perform detection of other objects. The results of COVID-19 infection detection with convolutional neural network algorithm show unlimited accuracy value that ranges from 60-99%.

AbstractBrain age prediction from brain MRI scans not only helps improve brain ageing modelling generally, but also provides benchmarks for predictive analysis methods. Brain-age delta, which is the difference between a subject’s predicted age and true age, has become a meaningful biomarker for the health of the brain. Here, we report the details of our brain age prediction models and results in the Predictive Analysis Challenge 2019. The aim of the challenge was to use T1-weighted brain MRIs to predict a subject’s age in multicentre datasets. We apply a lightweight deep convolutional neural network architecture, Simple Fully Convolutional Neural Network (SFCN), and combined several techniques including data augmentation, transfer learning, model ensemble, and bias correction for brain age prediction. The model achieved first places in both of the two objectives in the PAC 2019 brain age prediction challenge: Mean absolute error (MAE) = 2.90 years without bias removal, and MAE = 2.95 years with bias removal.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1.3 million deaths occur worldwide each year due to traffic accidents alone. This figure elevates traffic mishaps to be the eight leading cause of death. According to another study the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the major cause of road deaths and injury is distracted drivers. Motivated by recent advancement of deep learning and computer vision in predicting drivers’ behaviour, this paper attempts to investigate the optimal deep learning network architecture to accurately detect distracted drivers over visual feed. Specifically, a thorough evaluation and detailed benchmark comparisons of pretrained deep convolutional neural network is carried out. Results indicate that the proposed VGG16network architecture is capable of achieving 96% accuracy on the test dataset images.
