| dc.description.abstract | Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious killer, especially for people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Early diagnosis of TB is crucial for disease treatment and control. Radiology is a fundamental diagnostic tool used to screen or triage TB. Automated chest x-rays analysis can facilitate and expedite TB screening with fast and accurate reports of radiological findings and can rapidly screen large populations and alleviate a shortage of skilled experts in remote areas. We describe a hybrid feature-learning algorithm for automatic screening of TB in chest x-rays: it first segmented the lung regions using the DeepLabv3+ model. Then, six sets of hand-crafted features from statistical textures, local binary pattern, GIST, histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), pyramid histogram of oriented gradients and bags of visual words (BoVW), and nine sets of deep-activated features from AlexNet, GoogLeNet, InceptionV3, XceptionNet, ResNet-50, SqueezeNet, ShuffleNet, MobileNet, and DenseNet, were extracted. The dominant features of each feature set were selected using particle swarm optimization, and then separately input to an optimized support vector machine classifier to label 'normal' and 'TB' x-rays. GIST, HOG, BoVW from hand-crafted features, and MobileNet and DenseNet from deep-activated features performed better than the others. Finally, we combined these five best-performing feature sets to build a hybrid-learning algorithm. Using the Montgomery County (MC) and Shenzen datasets, we found that the hybrid features of GIST, HOG, BoVW, MobileNet and DenseNet, performed best, achieving an accuracy of 92.5% for the MC dataset and 95.5% for the Shenzen dataset. | |
