Deep Learning Algorithm for Diagnose Endoscopic and Histological Images With Ulcerative Colitis

The goal of treatment for ulcerative colitis is to achieve histological and endoscopic remission. Aiming at the problem that the observer will be affected by subjective factors in the endoscopic evaluation of ulcerative colitis and the cumbersome diagnosis process of histological images, this paper aims to develop a computer-assisted diagnosis system for real-time, objective diagnosis of endoscopic images and use the trained CNN model to predict histological images of patients with ulcerative colitis. Diagnosing endoscopic remission of ulcerative colitis, the accuracy of the CNN is 97.04% (95% CI,96.26%:97.62%). Diagnosing the severity of endoscopic inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis, the accuracy of the CNN is 90.15% (95% CI, 89.49%:90.82%). The accuracy of predicting histological remission was 91.28%. The kappa coefficient between the CNN model and the biopsy results was 82.56%. The proposed computer-aided diagnosis system can effectively evaluate the inflammation of endoscopic images of patients with ulcerative colitis and predict the remission of histological images with high accuracy and consistency.

Design Computer-Aided Diagnosis System Based on Chest CT Evaluation of Pulmonary Nodules

At present, the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer have always been one of the research hotspots in the medical field. Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease are necessary means to improve the survival rate of lung cancer patients and reduce their mortality. The introduction of computer-aided diagnosis technology can easily, quickly, and accurately identify the lung nodule area as an imaging feature of early lung cancer for the clinical diagnosis of lung cancer and is helpful for the quantitative analysis of the characteristics of lung nodules and is useful for distinguishing benign and malignant lung nodules. Growth provides an objective diagnostic reference standard. This paper studies ITK and VTK toolkits and builds a system platform with MFC. By studying the process of doctors diagnosing lung nodules, the whole system is divided into seven modules: suspected lung shadow detection, image display and image annotation, and interaction. The system passes through the entire lung nodule auxiliary diagnosis process and obtains the number of nodules, the number of malignant nodules, and the number of false positives in each set of lung CT images to analyze the performance of the auxiliary diagnosis system. In this paper, a lung region segmentation method is proposed, which makes use of the obvious differences between the lung parenchyma and other human tissues connected with it, as well as the position relationship and shape characteristics of each human tissue in the image. Experiments are carried out to solve the problems of lung boundary, inaccurate segmentation of lung wall, and depression caused by noise and pleural nodule adhesion. Experiments show that there are 2316 CT images in 8 sets of images of different patients, and the number of nodules is 56. A total of 49 nodules were detected by the system, 7 were missed, and the detection rate was 87.5%. A total of 64 false-positive nodules were detected, with an average of 8 per set of images. This shows that the system is effective for CT images of different devices, pixel pitch, and slice pitch and has high sensitivity, which can provide doctors with good advice.
