Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) is a severe retinal disease that threatens diabetic patients. It is characterized by neovascularization in the retina and the optic disk. PDR clinical features contain highly intense retinal neovascularization and fibrous spreads, leading to visual distortion if not controlled. Different image processing techniques have been proposed to detect and diagnose neovascularization from fundus images. Recently, deep learning methods are getting popular in neovascularization detection due to artificial intelligence advancement in biomedical image processing. This paper presents a semantic segmentation convolutional neural network architecture for neovascularization detection. First, image pre-processing steps were applied to enhance the fundus images. Then, the images were divided into small patches, forming a training set, a validation set, and a testing set. A semantic segmentation convolutional neural network was designed and trained to detect the neovascularization regions on the images. Finally, the network was tested using the testing set for performance evaluation. The proposed model is entirely automated in detecting and localizing neovascularization lesions, which is not possible with previously published methods. Evaluation results showed that the model could achieve accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, Jaccard similarity, and Dice similarity of 0.9948, 0.8772, 0.9976, 0.8696, 0.7643, and 0.8466, respectively. We demonstrated that this model could outperform other convolutional neural network models in neovascularization detection.

AbstractIn recent years, the success of deep learning in natural scene image processing boosted its application in the analysis of remote sensing images. In this paper, we applied Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. We improve the Encoder- Decoder CNN structure SegNet with index pooling and U-net to make them suitable for multi-targets semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. The results show that these two models have their own advantages and disadvantages on the segmentation of different objects. In addition, we propose an integrated algorithm that integrates these two models. Experimental results show that the presented integrated algorithm can exploite the advantages of both the models for multi-target segmentation and achieve a better segmentation compared to these two models.

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.

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.

Abstract At present, there are numerous losses caused by corrosion cracking of metal castings in engineering in China. In order to detect the possible defects of metal castings in engineering, the laser ultrasonic vision inspection technology is used to image the castings, and then the identification efficiency is low. In order to process these images efficiently and quickly, convolutional neural network image processing technology is introduced. According to the actual needs, a convolutional neural network architecture is designed to recognize images, and whether the architecture meets the requirements is verified. Experimental results show that the performance of the architecture meets the design requirements. Under the same conditions, this structure provides a solution for casting defect detection combined with artificial intelligence.

AbstractTemporomandibular disorders are typically accompanied by a number of clinical manifestations that involve pain and dysfunction of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint. The most important subgroup of articular abnormalities in patients with temporomandibular disorders includes patients with different forms of articular disc displacement and deformation. Here, we propose a fully automated articular disc detection and segmentation system to support the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder on magnetic resonance imaging. This system uses deep learning-based semantic segmentation approaches. The study included a total of 217 magnetic resonance images from 10 patients with anterior displacement of the articular disc and 10 healthy control subjects with normal articular discs. These images were used to evaluate three deep learning-based semantic segmentation approaches: our proposed convolutional neural network encoder-decoder named 3DiscNet (Detection for Displaced articular DISC using convolutional neural NETwork), U-Net, and SegNet-Basic. Of the three algorithms, 3DiscNet and SegNet-Basic showed comparably good metrics (Dice coefficient, sensitivity, and positive predictive value). This study provides a proof-of-concept for a fully automated deep learning-based segmentation methodology for articular discs on magnetic resonance images, and obtained promising initial results, indicating that the method could potentially be used in clinical practice for the assessment of temporomandibular disorders.
