Development of Deep Learning Models for Predicting the Effects of Exposure to Engineered Nanomaterials on Daphnia magna. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e2001080.

Abstract
This study presents the results of applying deep learning methodologies within the ecotoxicology field, with the objective of training predictive models that can support hazard assessment and eventually the design of safer engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). A workflow applying two different deep learning architectures on microscopic images of Daphnia magna is proposed that can automatically detect possible malformations, such as effects on the length of the tail, and the overall size, and uncommon lipid concentrations and lipid deposit shapes, which are due to direct or parental exposure to ENMs. Next, classification models assign specific objects (heart, abdomen/claw) to classes that depend on lipid densities and compare the results with controls. The models are statistically validated in terms of their prediction accuracy on external D. magna images and illustrate that deep learning technologies can be useful in the nanoinformatics field, because they can automate time-consuming manual procedures, accelerate the investigation of adverse effects of ENMs, and facilitate the process of designing safer nanostructures. It may even be possible in the future to predict impacts on subsequent generations from images of parental exposure, reducing the time and cost involved in long-term reproductive toxicity assays over multiple generations.

Abstract
The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly all over the world. The standard test for screening COVID-19 patients is the polymerase chain reaction test. As this method is time consuming, as an alternative, chest X-rays may be considered for quick screening. However, specialization is required to read COVID-19 chest X-ray images as they vary in features. To address this, we present a multi-channel pre-trained ResNet architecture to facilitate the diagnosis of COVID-19 chest X-ray. Three ResNet-based models were retrained to classify X-rays in a one-against-all basis from (a) normal or diseased, (b) pneumonia or non-pneumonia, and (c) COVID-19 or non-COVID19 individuals. Finally, these three models were ensembled and fine-tuned using X-rays from 1579 normal, 4245 pneumonia, and 184 COVID-19 individuals to classify normal, pneumonia, and COVID-19 cases in a one-against-one framework. Our results show that the ensemble model is more accurate than the single model as it extracts more relevant semantic features for each class. The method provides a precision of 94% and a recall of 100%. It could potentially help clinicians in screening patients for COVID-19, thus facilitating immediate triaging and treatment for better outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main aim of this work is to build a robust Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm that efficiently and quickly classifies bone scintigraphy images, by determining the presence or absence of prostate cancer metastasis. METHODS CNN, widely applied in medical image classification, was used for bone scintigraphy image classification. The retrospective study included 778 sequential male patients who underwent whole-body bone scans. A nuclear medicine physician classified all the cases into 3 categories: (1) normal, (2) malignant, and (3) degenerative, which were used as the gold standard. RESULTS An efficient CNN architecture was built, based on CNN exploration performance, achieving high prediction accuracy. The results showed that the method is sufficiently precise when it comes to differentiating a bone metastasis from other either degenerative changes or normal tissue (overall classification accuracy = 91.42% ± 1.64%). To strengthen the outcomes of this study the authors further compared the best performing CNN method to other popular CNN architectures for medical imaging, like ResNet50, VGG16 and GoogleNet, as reported in the literature. CONCLUSIONS The prediction results reveal the efficacy of the proposed CNN-based approach and its ability for an easier and more precise interpretation of whole-body images in bone metastasis diagnosis for prostate cancer patients in nuclear medicine. This leads to marked effects on the diagnostic accuracy and decision-making regarding the treatment to be applied.

Abstract
Currently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, particularly machine learning (ML), has become a reality in clinical practice. Since the end of the last century, several ML algorithms have been introduced for a wide range of common imaging tasks, not only for diagnostic purposes but also for image acquisition and postprocessing. AI is now recognized to be a driving initiative in every aspect of radiology. There is growing evidence of the advantages of AI in radiology creating seamless imaging workflows for radiologists or even replacing radiologists. Most of the current AI methods have some internal and external disadvantages that are impeding their ultimate implementation in the clinical arena. As such, AI can be considered a portion of a business trying to be introduced in the health care market. For this reason, this review analyzes the current status of AI, and specifically ML, applied to radiology from the scope of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.

Abstract
Deep Learning (DL) algorithms are a set of techniques that exploit large and/or complex real-world datasets for cross-domain and cross-discipline prediction and classification tasks. DL architectures excel in computer vision tasks, and in particular image processing and interpretation. This has prompted a wave of disruptingly innovative applications in medical imaging, where DL strategies have the potential to vastly outperform human experts. This is particularly relevant in the context of histopathology, where whole slide imaging (WSI) of stained tissue in conjuction with DL algorithms for their interpretation, selection and cancer staging are beginning to play an ever increasing role in supporting human operators in visual assessments. This has the potential to reduce everyday workload as well as to increase precision and reproducibility across observers, centers, staining techniques and even pathologies. In this paper we introduce the most common DL architectures used in image analysis, with a focus on histopathological image analysis in general and in breast histology in particular. We briefly review how, state-of-art DL architectures compare to human performance on across a number of critical tasks such as mitotic count, tubules analysis and nuclear pleomorphism analysis. Also, the development of DL algorithms specialized to pathology images have been enormously fueled by a number of world-wide challenges based on large, multicentric image databases which are now publicly available. In turn, this has allowed most recent efforts to shift more and more towards semi-supervised learning methods, which provide greater flexibility and applicability. We also review all major repositories of manually labelled pathology images in breast cancer and provide an in-depth discussion of the challenges specific to training DL architectures to interpret WSI data, as well as a review of the state-of-the-art methods for interpretation of images generated from immunohistochemical analysis of breast lesions. We finally discuss the future challenges and opportunities which the adoption of DL paradigms is most likely to pose in the field of pathology for breast cancer detection, diagnosis, staging and prognosis. This review is intended as a comprehensive stepping stone into the field of modern computational pathology for a transdisciplinary readership across technical and medical disciplines.

Abstract
Detecting COVID-19 early may help in devising an appropriate treatment plan and disease containment decisions. In this study, we demonstrate how transfer learning from deep learning models can be used to perform COVID-19 detection using images from three most commonly used medical imaging modes X-Ray, Ultrasound, and CT scan. The aim is to provide over-stressed medical professionals a second pair of eyes through intelligent deep learning image classification models. We identify a suitable Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model through initial comparative study of several popular CNN models. We then optimize the selected VGG19 model for the image modalities to show how the models can be used for the highly scarce and challenging COVID-19 datasets. We highlight the challenges (including dataset size and quality) in utilizing current publicly available COVID-19 datasets for developing useful deep learning models and how it adversely impacts the trainability of complex models. We also propose an image pre-processing stage to create a trustworthy image dataset for developing and testing the deep learning models. The new approach is aimed to reduce unwanted noise from the images so that deep learning models can focus on detecting diseases with specific features from them. Our results indicate that Ultrasound images provide superior detection accuracy compared to X-Ray and CT scans. The experimental results highlight that with limited data, most of the deeper networks struggle to train well and provides less consistency over the three imaging modes we are using. The selected VGG19 model, which is then extensively tuned with appropriate parameters, performs in considerable levels of COVID-19 detection against pneumonia or normal for all three lung image modes with the precision of up to 86% for X-Ray, 100% for Ultrasound and 84% for CT scans.

Abstract
Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent diseases in prostate cancer; scintigraphy imaging is particularly important for the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis. Up to date, minimal research has been conducted regarding the application of machine learning with emphasis on modern efficient convolutional neural networks (CNNs) algorithms, for the diagnosis of prostate cancer metastasis from bone scintigraphy images. The advantageous and outstanding capabilities of deep learning, machine learning's groundbreaking technological advancement, have not yet been fully investigated regarding their application in computer-aided diagnosis systems in the field of medical image analysis, such as the problem of bone metastasis classification in whole-body scans. In particular, CNNs are gaining great attention due to their ability to recognize complex visual patterns, in the same way as human perception operates. Considering all these new enhancements in the field of deep learning, a set of simpler, faster and more accurate CNN architectures, designed for classification of metastatic prostate cancer in bones, is explored. This research study has a two-fold goal: to create and also demonstrate a set of simple but robust CNN models for automatic classification of whole-body scans in two categories, malignant (bone metastasis) or healthy, using solely the scans at the input level. Through a meticulous exploration of CNN hyper-parameter selection and fine-tuning, the best architecture is selected with respect to classification accuracy. Thus a CNN model with improved classification capabilities for bone metastasis diagnosis is produced, using bone scans from prostate cancer patients. The achieved classification testing accuracy is 97.38%, whereas the average sensitivity is approximately 95.8%. Finally, the best-performing CNN method is compared to other popular and well-known CNN architectures used for medical imaging, like VGG16, ResNet50, GoogleNet and MobileNet. The classification results show that the proposed CNN-based approach outperforms the popular CNN methods in nuclear medicine for metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis in bones.

Abstract
(1) Background: Bone metastasis is among diseases that frequently appear in breast, lung and prostate cancer; the most popular imaging method of screening in metastasis is bone scintigraphy and presents very high sensitivity (95%). In the context of image recognition, this work investigates convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are an efficient type of deep neural networks, to sort out the diagnosis problem of bone metastasis on prostate cancer patients; (2) Methods: As a deep learning model, CNN is able to extract the feature of an image and use this feature to classify images.

This study is devoted to developing a robust CNN model that efficiently and fast classifies bone scintigraphy images of patients suffering from prostate cancer, by determining whether or not they develop metastasis of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Hand-crafted radiomics has been used for developing models in order to predict time-to-event clinical outcomes in patients with lung cancer. Hand-crafted features, however, are pre-defined and extracted without taking the desired target into account. Furthermore, accurate segmentation of the tumor is required for development of a reliable predictive model, which may be objective and a time-consuming task. To address these drawbacks, we propose a deep learning-based radiomics model for the time-to-event outcome prediction, referred to as DRTOP that takes raw images as inputs, and calculates the image-based risk of death or recurrence, for each patient. Our experiments on an in-house dataset of 132 lung cancer patients show that the obtained image-based risks are significant predictors of the time-to-event outcomes. Computed Tomography (CT)-based features are predictors of the overall survival (OS), with the hazard ratio (HR) of 1.35, distant control (DC), with HR of 1.06, and local control (LC), with HR of 2.66. The Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-based features are predictors of OS and recurrence free survival (RFS), with hazard ratios of 1.67 and 1.18, respectively. The concordance indices of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for predicting the OS, DC, and RFS show that the deep learning-based radiomics model is as accurate or better in predicting predefined clinical outcomes compared to hand-crafted radiomics, with concordance indices of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], for predicting the OS, DC, and RFS, respectively. Deep learning-based radiomics has the potential to offer complimentary predictive information in the personalized management of lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Cybersecurity attacks can arise from internal and external sources. The attacks perpetrated by internal sources are also referred to as insider threats. These are a cause of serious concern to organizations because of the significant damage that can be inflicted by malicious insiders. In this paper, we propose an approach for insider threat classification which is motivated by the effectiveness of pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for image classification. In the proposed approach, we extract features from usage patterns of insiders and represent these features as images. Hence, images are used to represent the resource access patterns of the employees within an organization. After construction of images, we use pre-trained DCNNs for anomaly detection, with the aim to identify malicious insiders. Random under sampling is used for reducing the class imbalance issue. The proposed approach is evaluated using the MobileNetV2, VGG19, and ResNet50 pre-trained models, and a benchmark dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

A deep learning approach based on convolutional LSTM for detecting diabetes. Comput Biol Chem 2020; 88:107329. [PMID: 32688009 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2020.107329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2020] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not generate sufficient insulin or the body cannot effectively utilize the produced insulin. If it remains unidentified and untreated, then it could be very deadliest. One can lead a healthy life with proper treatment if the presence of diabetes can be detected at an early stage. When the conventional process of detecting diabetes is tedious, there is a need of an automated system for identifying diabetes from the clinical and physical data. In this study, we developed a novel diabetes classifying model based on Convolutional Long Short-term Memory (Conv-LSTM) that was not applied yet in this regard. We applied another three popular models such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Traditional LSTM (T-LSTM), and CNN-LSTM and compared the performance with our developed model over the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD). Significant features were extracted from the dataset using Boruta algorithm that returned glucose, BMI, insulin, blood pressure, and age as important features for classifying diabetes patients more accurately. We performed hyperparameter optimization using Grid Search algorithm in order to find the optimal parameters for the applied models. Initial experiment by splitting the dataset into separate training and testing sets, the Conv-LSTM-based model classified the diabetes patients with the highest accuracy of 91.38 %. In later, using cross-validation technique the Conv-LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy of 97.26 % and outperformed the other three models along with the state-of-the-art models.

Abstract
With the widespread use of embedded sensing capabilities of mobile devices, there has been unprecedented development of context-aware solutions. This allows the proliferation of various intelligent applications, such as those for remote health and lifestyle monitoring, intelligent personalized services, etc. However, activity context recognition based on multivariate time series signals obtained from mobile devices in unconstrained conditions is naturally prone to imbalance class problems. This means that recognition models tend to predict classes with the majority number of samples whilst ignoring classes with the least number of samples, resulting in poor generalization. To address this problem, we propose augmentation of the time series signals from inertial sensors with signals from ambient sensing to train Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNNs) models. DCNNs provide the characteristics that capture local dependency and scale invariance of these combined sensor signals. Consequently, we developed a DCNN model using only inertial sensor signals and then developed another model that combined signals from both inertial and ambient sensors aiming to investigate the class imbalance problem by improving the performance of the recognition model. Evaluation and analysis of the proposed system using data with imbalanced classes show that the system achieved better recognition accuracy when data from inertial sensors are combined with those from ambient sensors, such as environmental noise level and illumination, with an overall improvement of 5.3% accuracy.

Abstract
Brain tumors have become a leading cause of death around the globe. The main reason for this epidemic is the difficulty conducting a timely diagnosis of the tumor. Fortunately, magnetic resonance images (MRI) are utilized to diagnose tumors in most cases. The performance of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) depends on many factors (i.e., weight initialization, optimization, batches and epochs, learning rate, activation function, loss function, and network topology), data quality, and specific combinations of these model attributes. When we deal with a segmentation or classification problem, utilizing a single optimizer is considered weak testing or validity unless the decision of the selection of an optimizer is backed up by a strong argument. Therefore, optimizer selection processes are considered important to validate the usage of a single optimizer in order to attain these decision problems. In this paper, we provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of popular optimizers of CNN to benchmark the segmentation for improvement. In detail, we perform a comparative analysis of 10 different state-of-the-art gradient descent-based optimizers, namely Adaptive Gradient (Adagrad), Adaptive Delta (AdaDelta), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Adaptive Momentum (Adam), Cyclic Learning Rate (CLR), Adaptive Max Pooling (Adamax), Root Mean Square Propagation (RMS Prop), Nesterov Adaptive Momentum (Nadam), and Nesterov accelerated gradient (NAG) for CNN. The experiments were performed on the BraTS2015 data set. The Adam optimizer had the best accuracy of 99.2% in enhancing the CNN ability in classification and segmentation.

Abstract
Prostate cancer most frequently metastasizes to bone, resulting in abnormal bone metabolism and the release of components into the blood stream. Here, we evaluated the capacity of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to use Raman data for screening of prostate cancer bone metastases. We used label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to collect 1281 serum Raman spectra from 427 patients with prostate cancer, and then we constructed a CNN based on LetNet-5 to recognize prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. We then used 5-fold cross-validation method to train and test the CNN model and evaluated its actual performance. Our CNN model for bone metastases detection revealed a mean training accuracy of 99.51% ± 0.23%, mean testing accuracy of 81.70% ± 2.83%, mean testing sensitivity of 80.63% ± 5.07%, and mean testing specificity of 82.82% ± 2.94%.

Abstract
Geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) is a remote sensing image analysis paradigm that defines and examines image-objects: groups of neighboring pixels that represent real-world geographic objects. Recent reviews have examined methodological considerations and highlighted how GEOBIA improves upon the 30+ year pixel-based approach, particularly for H-resolution imagery. However, the literature also exposes an opportunity to improve guidance on the application of GEOBIA for novice practitioners. In this paper, we describe the theoretical foundations of GEOBIA and provide a comprehensive overview of the methodological workflow, including: (i) software-specific approaches (open-source and commercial); (ii) best practices informed by research; and (iii) the current status of methodological research. Building on this foundation, we then review recent research on the convergence of GEOBIA with deep convolutional neural networks, which we suggest is a new form of GEOBIA. Specifically, we discuss general integrative approaches and offer recommendations for future research. Overall, this paper describes the past, present, and anticipated future of GEOBIA in a novice-accessible format, while providing innovation and depth to experienced practitioners.

Abstract
The diversity of change detection (CD) methods and the limitations in generalizing these techniques using different types of remote sensing datasets over various study areas have been a challenge for CD applications. Additionally, most CD methods have been implemented in two intensive and time-consuming steps: (a) predicting change areas, and (b) decision on predicted areas. In this study, a novel CD framework based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to not only address the aforementioned problems but also to considerably improve the level of accuracy. The proposed CNN-based CD network contains three parallel channels: the first and second channels, respectively, extract deep features on the original first- and second-time imagery and the third channel focuses on the extraction of change deep features based on differencing and staking deep features. Additionally, each channel includes three types of convolution kernels: 1D-, 2D-, and 3D-dilated-convolution. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed CD method are evaluated using three different types of remote sensing benchmark datasets (i.e., multispectral, hyperspectral, and Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture RADAR (PolSAR)). The results of the CD maps are also evaluated both visually and statistically by calculating nine different accuracy indices. Moreover, the results of the CD using the proposed method are compared to those of several state-of-the-art CD algorithms. All the results prove that the proposed method outperforms the other remote sensing CD techniques. For instance, considering different scenarios, the Overall Accuracies (OAs) and Kappa Coefficients (KCs) of the proposed CD method are better than 95.89% and 0.805, respectively, and the Miss Detection (MD) and the False Alarm (FA) rates are lower than 12% and 3%, respectively.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection is recommended for gastric neoplasms confined to mucosa or superficial submucosa. The determination of invasion depth is based on gross morphology assessed in endoscopic images, or on endoscopic ultrasound. These methods have limited accuracy and pose an inter-observer variability. Several studies developed deep-learning (DL) algorithms classifying invasion depth of gastric cancers. Nevertheless, these algorithms are intended to be used after definite diagnosis of gastric cancers, which is not always feasible in various gastric neoplasms. This study aimed to establish a DL algorithm for accurately predicting submucosal invasion in endoscopic images of gastric neoplasms. Pre-trained convolutional neural network models were fine-tuned with 2899 white-light endoscopic images. The prediction models were subsequently validated with an external dataset of 206 images. In the internal test, the mean area under the curve discriminating submucosal invasion was 0.887 (95% confidence interval: 0.849–0.924) by DenseNet−161 network. In the external test, the mean area under the curve reached 0.887 (0.863–0.910). Clinical simulation showed that 6.7% of patients who underwent gastrectomy in the external test were accurately qualified by the established algorithm for potential endoscopic resection, avoiding unnecessary operation. The established DL algorithm proves useful for the prediction of submucosal invasion in endoscopic images of gastric neoplasms.

Abstract
In the past decade, a new approach for quantitative analysis of medical images and prognostic modelling has emerged. Defined as the extraction and analysis of a large number of quantitative parameters from medical images, radiomics is an evolving field in precision medicine with the ultimate goal of the discovery of new imaging biomarkers for disease. Radiomics has already shown promising results in extracting diagnostic, prognostic, and molecular information latent in medical images. After acquisition of the medical images as part of the standard of care, a region of interest is defined often via a manual or semi-automatic approach. An algorithm then extracts and computes quantitative radiomics parameters from the region of interest. Whereas radiomics captures quantitative values of shape and texture based on predefined mathematical terms, neural networks have recently been used to directly learn and identify predictive features from medical images. Thereby, neural networks largely forego the need for so called "hand-engineered" features, which appears to result in significantly improved performance and reliability. Opportunities for radiomics and neural networks in pediatric nuclear medicine/radiology/molecular imaging are broad and can be thought of in three categories: automating well-defined administrative or clinical tasks, augmenting broader administrative or clinical tasks, and unlocking new methods of generating value. Specific applications include intelligent order sets, automated protocoling, improved image acquisition, computer aided triage and detection of abnormalities, next generation voice dictation systems, biomarker development, and therapy planning.

Abstract
Introduction: MR neurography (MRN) of the brachial plexus has emerged in recent years as a safe and accurate modality for the identification of brachial plexopathies in pediatric and adult populations. While clinical differentiation of brachial plexopathy from cervical spine-related radiculopathy or nerve injury has long relied upon nonspecific physical exam and electrodiagnostic testing modalities, MRN now permits detailed interrogation of peripheral nerve anatomy and pathology, as well as assessment of surrounding soft tissues and musculature, thereby facilitating accurate diagnosis. The reader will learn about the current state of brachial plexus MRN, including recent advances and future directions, and gain knowledge about the adult and pediatric brachial plexopathies that can be characterized using these techniques.Areas Covered: The review details recent developments in brachial plexus MRN, including increasing availability of 3.0-T MR scanners at both private and academic diagnostic imaging centers, as well as the advent of multiple new vascular and fat signal suppression techniques. A literature search of PubMed and SCOPUS was used as the principal source of information gathered for this review.Expert Opinion: Refinement of fat-suppression, 3D techniques and diffusion MR imaging modalities has improved the accuracy of MRN, rendering it as a useful adjunct to clinical findings during the evaluation of suspected brachial plexus lesions.

Abstract
The introduction of quantitative image analysis has given rise to fields such as radiomics which have been used to predict clinical sequelae. One growing area of interest for analysis is brain tumours, in particular glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Tumour segmentation is an important step in the pipeline in the analysis of this pathology. Manual segmentation is often inconsistent as it varies between observers. Automated segmentation has been proposed to combat this issue. Methodologies such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) which are machine learning pipelines modelled on the biological process of neurons (called nodes) and synapses (connections) have been of interest in the literature. We investigate the role of CNNs to segment brain tumours by firstly taking an educational look at CNNs and perform a literature search to determine an example pipeline for segmentation. We then investigate the future use of CNNs by exploring a novel field-radiomics. This examines quantitative features of brain tumours such as shape, texture, and signal intensity to predict clinical outcomes such as survival and response to therapy.

Abstract
Acute stroke care demands real-time, specialist-led treatment decisions, including thrombolysis and referral for mechanical thrombectomy. Pathways designed to deliver time-critical interventions for stroke patients are under intense pressure due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this unprecedented burden on acute care services, stroke clinicians are having to reconfigure existing clinical pathways both within and between hospitals. Incorporating artificial intelligence and digital communication support into clinical pathways offers an opportunity to mitigate the disruption to acute stroke care. In this case study we describe how Royal Berkshire Hospital, working collaboratively with Brainomix, a UK-based artificial intelligence software company, adopted technological innovation and integrated it into the hyperacute stroke pathway. A case is presented to demonstrate how this innovation can support patient care and deliver successful patient outcomes. We believe this model can be adopted in other hospitals and networks to deliver safe and efficient hyperacute stroke care.

Abstract
Automatic multi-classification of breast cancer histopathological images has remained one of the top-priority research areas in the field of biomedical informatics, due to the great clinical significance of multi-classification in providing diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. In this work, two machine learning approaches are thoroughly explored and compared for the task of automatic magnification-dependent multi-classification on a balanced BreakHis dataset for the detection of breast cancer. The first approach is based on handcrafted features which are extracted using Hu moment, color histogram, and Haralick textures. The extracted features are then utilized to train the conventional classifiers, while the second approach is based on transfer learning where the pre-existing networks (VGG16, VGG19, and ResNet50) are utilized as feature extractor and as a baseline model. The results reveal that the use of pre-trained networks as feature extractor exhibited superior performance in contrast to baseline approach and handcrafted approach for all the magnifications. Moreover, it has been observed that the augmentation plays a pivotal role in further enhancing the classification accuracy. In this context, the VGG16 network with linear SVM provides the highest accuracy that is computed in two forms, (a) patch-based accuracies (93.97% for 40×, 92.92% for 100×, 91.23% for 200×, and 91.79% for 400×); (b) patient-based accuracies (93.25% for 40×, 91.87% for 100×, 91.5% for 200×, and 92.31% for 400×) for the classification of magnification-dependent histopathological images. Additionally, "Fibro-adenoma" (benign) and "Mucous Carcinoma" (malignant) classes have been found to be the most complex classes for the entire magnification factors.

Abstract
Agriculture has always been an important economic and social sector for humans. Fruit production is especially essential, with a great demand from all households. Therefore, the use of innovative technologies is of vital importance for the agri-food sector. Currently artificial intelligence is one very important technological tool widely used in modern society. Particularly, Deep Learning (DL) has several applications due to its ability to learn robust representations from images. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is the main DL architecture for image classification. Based on the great attention that CNNs have had in the last years, we present a review of the use of CNN applied to different automatic processing tasks of fruit images: classification, quality control, and detection. We observe that in the last two years (2019–2020), the use of CNN for fruit recognition has greatly increased obtaining excellent results, either by using new models or with pre-trained networks for transfer learning. It is worth noting that different types of images are used in datasets according to the task performed. Besides, this article presents the fundamentals, tools, and two examples of the use of CNNs for fruit sorting and quality control.

Abstract
Despite the advances in automatic lung cancer malignancy prediction, achieving high accuracy remains challenging. Existing solutions are mostly based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which require a large amount of training data. Most of the developed CNN models are based only on the main nodule region, without considering the surrounding tissues. Obtaining high sensitivity is challenging with lung nodule malignancy prediction. Moreover, the interpretability of the proposed techniques should be a consideration when the end goal is to utilize the model in a clinical setting. Capsule networks (CapsNets) are new and revolutionary machine learning architectures proposed to overcome shortcomings of CNNs. Capitalizing on the success of CapsNet in biomedical domains, we propose a novel model for lung tumor malignancy prediction. The proposed framework, referred to as the 3D Multi-scale Capsule Network (3D-MCN), is uniquely designed to benefit from: (i) 3D inputs, providing information about the nodule in 3D; (ii) Multi-scale input, capturing the nodule's local features, as well as the characteristics of the surrounding tissues, and; (iii) CapsNet-based design, being capable of dealing with a small number of training samples. The proposed 3D-MCN architecture predicted lung nodule malignancy with a high accuracy of 93.12%, sensitivity of 94.94%, area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9641, and specificity of 90% when tested on the LIDC-IDRI dataset. When classifying patients as having a malignant condition (i.e., at least one malignant nodule is detected) or not, the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 83%, and a sensitivity and specificity of 84% and 81% respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess and improve the assistive role of a deep, densely connected convolutional neural network (CNN) to hematopathologists in differentiating histologic images of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS A total of 10,818 images from BL (n = 34) and DLBCL (n = 36) cases were used to either train or apply different CNNs. Networks differed by number of training images and pixels of images, absence of color, pixel and staining augmentation, and depth of the network, among other parameters. RESULTS Cases classified correctly were 17 of 18 (94%), nine with 100% of images correct by the best performing network showing a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis area under the curve 0.92 for both DLBCL and BL. The best performing CNN used all available training images, two random subcrops per image of 448 × 448 pixels, random H&E staining image augmentation, random horizontal flipping of images, random alteration of contrast, reduction on validation error plateau of 15 epochs, block size of six, batch size of 32, and depth of 22. Other networks and decreasing training images had poorer performance. CONCLUSIONS CNNs are promising augmented human intelligence tools for differentiating a subset of BL and DLBCL cases.

Abstract
We developed an automatic method for staging periodontitis on dental panoramic radiographs using the deep learning hybrid method. A novel hybrid framework was proposed to automatically detect and classify the periodontal bone loss of each individual tooth. The framework is a hybrid of deep learning architecture for detection and conventional CAD processing for classification. Deep learning was used to detect the radiographic bone level (or the CEJ level) as a simple structure for the whole jaw on panoramic radiographs. Next, the percentage rate analysis of the radiographic bone loss combined the tooth long-axis with the periodontal bone and CEJ levels. Using the percentage rate, we could automatically classify the periodontal bone loss. This classification was used for periodontitis staging according to the new criteria proposed at the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the automatic method with the diagnoses by radiologists was 0.73 overall for the whole jaw (p < 0.01), and the intraclass correlation value 0.91 overall for the whole jaw (p < 0.01). The novel hybrid framework that combined deep learning architecture and the conventional CAD approach demonstrated high accuracy and excellent reliability in the automatic diagnosis of periodontal bone loss and staging of periodontitis.

Abstract
Biopsy is the standard for assessment of bone marrow involvement in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We investigated whether [18F]FDG-PET radiomic texture features can improve prediction of bone marrow involvement in MCL, compared to standardized uptake values (SUV), and whether combination with laboratory data improves results. Ninety-seven MCL patients were retrospectively included. SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak and 16 co-occurrence matrix texture features were extracted from pelvic bones on [18F]FDG-PET/CT. A multi-layer perceptron neural network was used to compare three combinations for prediction of bone marrow involvement—the SUVs, a radiomic signature based on SUVs and texture features, and the radiomic signature combined with laboratory parameters. This step was repeated using two cut-off values for relative bone marrow involvement: REL > 5% (>5% of red/cellular bone marrow); and REL > 10%. Biopsy demonstrated bone marrow involvement in 67/97 patients (69.1%). SUVs, the radiomic signature, and the radiomic signature with laboratory data showed AUCs of up to 0.66, 0.73, and 0.81 for involved vs. uninvolved bone marrow; 0.68, 0.84, and 0.84 for REL ≤ 5% vs. REL > 5%; and 0.69, 0.85, and 0.87 for REL ≤ 10% vs. REL > 10%. In conclusion, [18F]FDG-PET texture features improve SUV-based prediction of bone marrow involvement in MCL. The results may be further improved by combination with laboratory parameters.

Abstract
Timely and accurate auxiliary diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm can help radiologist make treatment plans quickly, saving lives and cutting costs at the same time. At present, Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm, but as radiologists interpret those imaging sequences frame by frame, misdiagnosis might occur. The utilization of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) can ease the burdens of radiologists and improve the detection accuracy of aneurysms. In this article, a deep learning method is applied to detect the intracranial aneurysm in 3D Rotational Angiography (3D-RA) based on a spatial information fusion (SIF) method, and instead of a 3D vascular model, 2D image sequences are used. Given the intracranial aneurysm and vascular overlap having similar feature in the most time, rather than focusing on distinguishing them in one frame, the morphological differences between frames are considered as major feature. In the training data, consecutive frames of every imaging time series are extracted and concatenated in a specific way, so that the spatial contextual information could be embedded into a single two-dimensional image. This method enables the time series with obvious correlation between frames be directly trained on 2D convolutional neural network (CNN), instead of 3D-CNN with huge computational cost. Finally, we got an accuracy of 98.89%, with sensitivity and specificity of 99.38% and 98.19%, respectively, which proves the feasibility and availability of the SIF feature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess, by analyzing features of the primary tumor with 18F-FDG PET, the utility of deep machine learning with a convolutional neural network (CNN) in predicting the potential of newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to metastasize to lymph nodes or distant sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Consecutively registered patients with newly diagnosed, untreated NSCLC were retrospectively included in a single-center study. PET images were segmented with local image features extraction software, and data were used for CNN training and validation after data augmentation strategies were used. The standard of reference for designation of N category was invasive lymph node sampling or 6-month follow-up imaging. Distant metastases developing during the study follow-up period were assessed by imaging (CT or PET/CT), in tissue obtained from new suspected sites of disease, and according to the treating oncologist's designation. RESULTS. A total of 264 patients with NSCLC participated in follow-up for a median of 25.2 months (range, 6-43 months). N category designations were available for 223 of 264 (84.5%) patients, and M category for all 264. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CNN for predicting node positivity were 0.74 ± 0.32, 0.84 ± 0.16, and 0.80 ± 0.17. The corresponding values for predicting distant metastases were 0.45 ± 0.08, 0.79 ± 0.06, and 0.63 ± 0.05. CONCLUSION. This study showed that using a CNN to analyze segmented PET images of patients with previously untreated NSCLC can yield moderately high accuracy for designation of N category, although this may be insufficient to preclude invasive lymph node sampling. The sensitivity of the CNN in predicting distant metastases is fairly poor, although specificity is moderately high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Automatic segmentation of skin lesions is considered a crucial step in Computer-aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for melanoma detection. Despite its significance, skin lesion segmentation remains an unsolved challenge due to their variability in color, texture, and shapes and indistinguishable boundaries. METHODS Through this study, we present a new and automatic semantic segmentation network for robust skin lesion segmentation named Dermoscopic Skin Network (DSNet). In order to reduce the number of parameters to make the network lightweight, we used a depth-wise separable convolution in lieu of standard convolution to project the learned discriminating features onto the pixel space at different stages of the encoder. Additionally, we implemented both a U-Net and a Fully Convolutional Network (FCN8s) to compare against the proposed DSNet. RESULTS We evaluate our proposed model on two publicly available datasets, namely ISIC-20171 and PH22. The obtained mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) is 77.5% and 87.0% respectively for ISIC-2017 and PH2 datasets which outperformed the ISIC-2017 challenge winner by 1.0% with respect to mIoU. Our proposed network also outperformed U-Net and FCN8s respectively by 3.6% and 6.8% with respect to mIoU on the ISIC-2017 dataset. CONCLUSION Our network for skin lesion segmentation outperforms the other methods discussed in the article and is able to provide better-segmented masks on two different test datasets which can lead to better performance in melanoma detection. Our trained model along with the source code and predicted masks are made publicly available3.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the utility of a convolutional neural network (CNN) with an increased number of contracting and expanding paths of U-net for sparse-view CT reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study used 60 anonymized chest CT cases from a public database called "The Cancer Imaging Archive". Eight thousand images from 40 cases were used for training. Eight hundred and 80 images from another 20 cases were used for quantitative and qualitative evaluation, respectively. Sparse-view CT images subsampled by a factor of 20 were simulated, and two CNNs were trained to create denoised images from the sparse-view CT. A CNN based on U-net with residual learning with four contracting and expanding paths (the preceding CNN) was compared with another CNN with eight contracting and expanding paths (the proposed CNN) both quantitatively (peak signal to noise ratio, structural similarity index), and qualitatively (the scores given by two radiologists for anatomical visibility, artifact and noise, and overall image quality) using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Nodule and emphysema appearance were also evaluated qualitatively. RESULTS The proposed CNN was significantly better than the preceding CNN both quantitatively and qualitatively (overall image quality interquartile range, 3.0-3.5 versus 1.0-1.0 reported from the preceding CNN; p < 0.001). However, only 2 of 22 cases used for emphysematous evaluation (2 CNNs for every 11 cases with emphysema) had an average score of ≥ 2 (on a 3 point scale). CONCLUSION Increasing contracting and expanding paths may be useful for sparse-view CT reconstruction with CNN. However, poor reproducibility of emphysema appearance should also be noted.

This study aims to use a convolutional neural network (CNN), a deep learning approach, to automatically classify esophageal cancer (EC) and distinguish it from premalignant lesions. Methods A total of 1,272 white-light images were adopted from 748 subjects, including normal cases, premalignant lesions, and cancerous lesions; 1,017 images were used to train the CNN, and another 255 images were examined to evaluate the CNN architecture. Our proposed CNN structure consists of two subnetworks (O-stream and P-stream). The original images were used as the inputs of the O-stream to extract the color and global features, and the pre-processed esophageal images were used as the inputs of the P-stream to extract the texture and detail features. Results The CNN system we developed achieved an accuracy of 85.83%, a sensitivity of 94.23%, and a specificity of 94.67% after the fusion of the 2 streams was accomplished. The classification accuracy of normal esophagus, premalignant lesion, and EC were 94.23%, 82.5%, and 77.14%, respectively, which shows a better performance than the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) + Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Histogram of Gradient (HOG) + SVM methods. A total of 8 of the 35 (22.85%) EC lesions were categorized as premalignant lesions because of their slightly reddish and flat lesions. Conclusions The CNN system, with 2 streams, demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity with the endoscopic images. It obtained better detection performance than the currently used methods based on the same datasets and has great application prospects in assisting endoscopists to distinguish esophageal lesion subclasses.

Abstract
Voltage-to-time and current-to-time converters have been used in many recent works as a voltage-to-digital converter for artificial intelligence applications. In general, most of the previous designs use the current-starved technique or a capacitor-based delay unit, which is non-linear, expensive, and requires a large area. In this paper, we propose a highly linear current-to-digital converter. An optimization method is also proposed to generate the optimal converter design containing the smallest number of PMOS and sensitive circuits such as a differential amplifier. This enabled our design to be more stable and robust toward negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) and process variation. The proposed converter circuit implements the point-wise conversion from current-to-time, and it can be used directly for a variety of applications, such as analog-to-digital converters (ADC), used in built-in computational random access (C-RAM) memory. The conversion gain of the proposed circuit is 3.86 ms/A, which is 52 times greater than the conversion gains of state-of-the-art designs. Further, various time-to-digital converter (TDC) circuits are reviewed for the proposed current-to-time converter, and we recommend one circuit for a complete ADC design.

Abstract
Accurate medical images analysis plays a vital role for several clinical applications. Nevertheless, the immense and complex data volume to be processed make difficult the design of effective algorithms. The first aim of this paper is to examine this area of research and to provide some relevant reference sources related to the context of medical image analysis. Then, an effective hybrid solution to further improve the expected results is proposed here. It allows to consider the benefits of the cooperation of different complementary approaches such as statistical-based, variational-based and atlas-based techniques and to reduce their drawbacks. In particular, a pipeline framework that involves different steps such as a preprocessing step, a classification step and a refinement step with variational-based method is developed to identify accurately pathological regions in biomedical images. The preprocessing step has the role to remove noise and improve the quality of the images. Then the classification is based on both symmetry axis detection step and non linear learning with SVM algorithm. Finally, a level set-based model is performed to refine the boundary detection of the region of interest. In this work we will show that an accurate initialization step could enhance final performances. Some obtained results are exposed which are related to the challenging application of brain tumor segmentation.

Abstract
Histopathological images contain rich phenotypic descriptions of the molecular processes underlying disease progression. Convolutional neural networks, state-of-the-art image analysis techniques in computer vision, automatically learn representative features from such images which can be useful for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and subtyping. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common type of primary liver malignancy. Despite the high mortality rate of HCC, little previous work has made use of CNN models to explore the use of histopathological images for prognosis and clinical survival prediction of HCC. We applied three pre-trained CNN models-VGG 16, Inception V3 and ResNet 50-to extract features from HCC histopathological images. Sample visualization and classification analyses based on these features showed a very clear separation between cancer and normal samples. In a univariate Cox regression analysis, 21.4% and 16% of image features on average were significantly associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), respectively. We also observed significant correlations between these features and integrated biological pathways derived from gene expression and copy number variation. Using an elastic net regularized Cox Proportional Hazards model of OS constructed from Inception image features, we obtained a concordance index (C-index) of 0.789 and a significant log-rank test (p = 7.6E-18). We also performed unsupervised classification to identify HCC subgroups from image features. The optimal two subgroups discovered using Inception model image features showed significant differences in both overall (C-index = 0.628 and p = 7.39E-07) and DFS (C-index = 0.558 and p = 0.012). Our work demonstrates the utility of extracting image features using pre-trained models by using them to build accurate prognostic models of HCC as well as highlight significant correlations between these features, clinical survival, and relevant biological pathways. Image features extracted from HCC histopathological images using the pre-trained CNN models VGG 16, Inception V3 and ResNet 50 can accurately distinguish normal and cancer samples. Furthermore, these image features are significantly correlated with survival and relevant biological pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Integrate tracked ultrasound and AI methods to provide a safer and more accessible alternative to X-ray for scoliosis measurement. We propose automatic ultrasound segmentation for 3-dimensional spine visualization and scoliosis measurement to address difficulties in using ultrasound for spine imaging. METHODS We trained a convolutional neural network for spine segmentation on ultrasound scans using data from eight healthy adult volunteers. We tested the trained network on eight pediatric patients. We evaluated image segmentation and 3-dimensional volume reconstruction for scoliosis measurement. RESULTS As expected, fuzzy segmentation metrics reduced when trained networks were translated from healthy volunteers to patients. Recall decreased from 0.72 to 0.64 (8.2% decrease), and precision from 0.31 to 0.27 (3.7% decrease). However, after finding optimal thresholds for prediction maps, binary segmentation metrics performed better on patient data. Recall decreased from 0.98 to 0.97 (1.6% decrease), and precision from 0.10 to 0.06 (4.5% decrease). Segmentation prediction maps were reconstructed to 3-dimensional volumes and scoliosis was measured in all patients. Measurement in these reconstructions took less than 1 minute and had a maximum error of 2.2° compared to X-ray. CONCLUSION automatic spine segmentation makes scoliosis measurement both efficient and accurate in tracked ultrasound scans. SIGNIFICANCE Automatic segmentation may overcome the limitations of tracked ultrasound that so far prevented its use as an alternative of X-ray in scoliosis measurement.

Abstract
Recently, technologies for predicting traffic conflicts in real-time have been gaining momentum due to their proactive nature of application and the growing implementation of ADAS technology in intelligent vehicles. In ADAS, machine learning classifiers are utilised to predict potential traffic conflicts by analysing data from in-vehicle sensors. In most cases, a condition is classified as a traffic conflict when a safety surrogate (e.g. time-to-collision, TTC) crosses a pre-defined threshold. This approach, however, largely ignores other factors that influence traffic conflicts such as speed variance, traffic density, speed and weather conditions. Considering all these factors in detecting traffic conflicts is rather complex as it requires an integration and mining of heterodox data, the unavailability of traffic conflicts and conflict prediction models capable of extracting meaningful and accurate information in a timely manner. In addition, the model has to effectively handle large imbalanced data. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a centralised digital architecture and employs a Deep Learning methodology to predict traffic conflicts. Highly disaggregated traffic data and in-vehicle sensors data from an instrumented vehicle are collected from a section of the UK M1 motorway to build the model. Traffic conflicts are identified by a Regional-Convolution Neural Network (R-CNN) model which detects lane markings and tracks vehicles from images captured by a single front-facing camera. This data is then integrated with traffic variables and calculated safety surrogate measures (SSMs) via a centralised digital architecture to develop a series of Deep Neural Network (DNN) models to predict these traffic conflicts. The results indicate that TTC, as expected, varies by speed, weather and traffic density and the best DNN model provides an accuracy of 94% making it reliable to employ in ADAS technology as proactive safety management strategies. Furthermore, by exchanging this traffic conflict awareness data, connected vehicles (CVs) can mitigate the risk of traffic collisions.
