Early diagnosis and classification of colorectal polyps are critical in reducing the morbidity and mortality rate of colorectal cancer (CRC). This paper proposes an automated method for histopathologically classifying colorectal polyps from 7000 μm H&E-stained images. First, a number of state-of-the-art deep learning models are developed and fine-tuned using transfer learning and ImageNet pre-trained weights. Subsequently, a baseline architecture is selected by comparing the trained models, and its performance is then optimized using data augmentation methods such as rotation, rescaling, mixup and cutout. Moreover, an extended variant of the adaptive moment estimation (Adam) optimizer called rectified Adam (Radam) and label smoothing are also used to boost the model performance. Based on the experimentation results using an open dataset, the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 90%, a precision of 90%, a recall of 89% and an F1-score of 0.91%.

This research concerns the design and development of an assistive system based on eye tracking, which can be used to improve the quality of life of disabled patients. With the use of their eye movement, whose function is not affected by their illness, patients are capable of communicating with and sending notifications to caretakers, controlling various appliances, including wheelchairs. The designed system is divided into two subsystems: Stationary and mobile assistive systems. Both systems provide a graphic user interface (GUI) that is used to link the eye tracker with the appliance control. There are six GUI pages for the stationary assistive system and seven for the mobile assistive system. GUI pages for the stationary assistive system include the home page, smart appliance page, eye-controlled television page, eye-controlled air conditional page, i-speak page and entertainment page. GUI pages for the mobile assistive system are similar to the GUI pages for the stationary assistive system, with the additional eye-controlled wheelchair page. To provide hand-free secure access, an authentication based on facial landmarks is developed. The operational test of the proposed assistive system provides successful and promising results.

Caries is the most well-known disease and relates to the oral health of billions of people around the world. Despite the importance and necessity of a well-designed detection method, studies in caries detection are still limited and show a restriction in performance. In this paper, we proposed a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) method to detect caries among normal patients using dental radiographs. The proposed method mainly consists of two processes: feature extraction and classification. In the feature extraction phase, the chosen 2D tooth image was employed to extract deep activated features using a deep pre-trained model and geometric features using mathematic formulas. Both feature sets were then combined, called fusion feature, to complement each other defects. Then, the optimal fusion feature set was fed into well-known classification models such as support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT), Naïve Bayes (NB), and random forest (RF) to determine the best classification model that fit the fusion features set and perform the most preeminent result. The results show 91.70%, 90.43%, and 92.67% for accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively. The proposed method has outperformed the previous stateof- the-art and shows promising results when none of the measured factors is less than 90%; therefore, the method is promising for dentists and capable of wide-scale implementation caries detection in hospitals.

Adenoma Dysplasia Grading of Colorectal Polyps Using Fast Fourier Convolutional ResNet (FFC-ResNet)
(2023-01-01)

Colorectal polyps are precursor lesions of colorectal cancer; hence, early detection and dysplasia grading of polyps are essential for determining cancer risk, the possibility of developing subsequent polyps, and follow-up recommendations. The significant contribution of this study is the development of an enhanced deep-learning model called Fast Fourier Convolutional ResNet (FFC-ResNet) to classify dysplasia grades of polyps. It is based on the ResNet-50 architecture and uses cross-feature fusion, which combines local features extracted by traditional spatial convolution with global features extracted by Fourier convolution. Due to the compensatory effect between local and global features, the learnability and performance of FFC-ResNet have increased. The proposed FFC-ResNet was developed and tested using UniToPatho, a dataset containing 7000 μm and 800 μm hematoxylin-and-eosin (H&E)-stained colorectal images. And a favorable performance of sensitivity 0.95, specificity 0.93, balance accuracy 0.94, precision 0.95, F1 score 0.95, and AUC 0.99 was obtained using 800 μm polyp patches.

The major problem in Thailand related to parking is time violation. Vehicles are not allowed to park for more than a specified amount of time. Implementation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance cameras along with human labor is the present remedy. However, this paper presents an approach that can introduce a low-cost time violation tracking system using CCTV, Deep Learning models, and object tracking algorithms. This approach is fairly new because of its appliance of the SOTA detection technique, object tracking approach, and time boundary implementations. YOLOv8, along with the DeepSORT/OC-SORT algorithm, is utilized for the detection and tracking that allows us to set a timer and track the time violation. Using the same apparatus along with Deep Learning models and algorithms has produced a better system with better performance. The performance of both tracking algorithms was well depicted in the results, obtaining MOTA scores of (1.0, 1.0, 0.96, 0.90) and (1, 0.76, 0.90, 0.83) in four different surveillance data for DeepSORT and OC-SORT, respectively.

Caries prevention is essential for oral hygiene. A fully automated procedure that reduces human labor and human error is needed. This paper presents a fully automated method that segments tooth regions of interest from a panoramic radiograph to diagnose caries. A patient’s panoramic oral radiograph, which can be taken at any dental facility, is first segmented into several segments of individual teeth. Then, informative features are extracted from the teeth using a pre-trained deep learning network such as VGG, Resnet, or Xception. Each extracted feature is learned by a classification model such as random forest, k-nearest neighbor, or support vector machine. The prediction of each classifier model is considered as an individual opinion that contributes to the final diagnosis, which is decided by a majority voting method. The proposed method achieved an accuracy of 93.58%, a sensitivity of 93.91%, and a specificity of 93.33%, making it promising for widespread implementation. The proposed method, which outperforms existing methods in terms of reliability, and can facilitate dental diagnosis and reduce the need for tedious procedures.

Automated segmentation methods are critical for early detection, prompt actions, and immediate treatments in reducing disability and death risks of brain infarction. This paper aims to develop a fully automated method to segment the infarct lesions from T1‐weighted brain scans. As a key novelty, the proposed method combines variational mode decomposition and deep learning-based segmentation to take advantages of both methods and provide better results. There are three main technical contributions in this paper. First, variational mode decomposition is applied as a pre-processing to discriminate the infarct lesions from unwanted non‐infarct tissues. Second, overlapped patches strategy is proposed to reduce the workload of the deep‐learning‐based segmentation task. Finally, a three‐dimensional U‐Net model is developed to perform patch‐wise segmentation of infarct lesions. A total of 239 brain scans from a public dataset are utilized to develop and evaluate the proposed method. Empirical results reveal that the proposed automated segmentation can provide promising performances with an average dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.6684, intersection over union (IoU) of 0.5022, and average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) of 0.3932, respectively.

The detection of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography scans provides a clue for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Manual detection mandates a heavy radiological workload as it identifies nodules slice-by-slice. This paper presents a fully automated nodule detection with three significant contributions. First, an automated seeded region growing is designed to segment the lung regions from the tomography scans. Second, a three-dimensional chain code algorithm is implemented to refine the border of the segmented lungs. Lastly, nodules inside the lungs are detected using an optimized random forest classifier. The experiments for our proposed detection are conducted using 888 scans from a public dataset, and achieves a favorable result of 93.11% accuracy, 94.86% sensitivity, and 91.37% specificity, with only 0.0863 false positives per exam.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in the healthcare sector due to its ability to interpret complex medical images that may not be apparent to humans. Traditional black-box models were used to classify the disease, providing no information as to why certain things were labeled as such and not others. This paper utilizes the use of eXplainable-AI (XAI), specifically, Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) which generates mapping between AI decision and biomarker used by the ophthalmologist whereby enhancing results interpretability and transparency in the disease diagnostic tasks. VGG-16 incorporated with batch normalization and label smoothing was used for the classification tasks whereas LRP was employed to perform the heat-map generation to see if the feature extracted and used by AI was consistent with the experts' biomarkers. Our proposed model obtained a classification accuracy of 77.33%, where 165 out of 266 images were aligned with the ophthalmologist's prediction. Furthermore, the significance of heatmap generation was supported by a one-sample Z-test which revealed that the alignment between AI predictions and expert biomarkers is significantly greater than random, with a 95% confidence interval.
