DBU-Net: Dual branch U-Net for tumor segmentation in breast ultrasound images.

Breast ultrasound medical images often have low imaging quality along with unclear target boundaries. These issues make it challenging for physicians to accurately identify and outline tumors when diagnosing patients. Since precise segmentation is crucial for diagnosis, there is a strong need for an automated method to enhance the segmentation accuracy, which can serve as a technical aid in diagnosis.

Microstructural segmentation using a union of attention guided U-Net models with different color transformed images.

Metallographic images or often called the microstructures contain important information about metals, such as strength, toughness, ductility, corrosion resistance, which are used to choose the proper materials for various engineering applications. Thus by understanding the microstructures, one can determine the behaviour of a component made of a particular metal, and can predict the failure of that component in certain conditions. Image segmentation is a powerful technique for determination of morphological features of the microstructure like volume fraction, inclusion morphology, void, and crystal orientations.

Monkeypox detection from skin lesion images using an amalgamation of CNN models aided with Beta function-based normalization scheme.

We have recently been witnessing that our society is starting to heal from the impacts of COVID-19. The economic, social and cultural impacts of a pandemic cannot be ignored and we should be properly equipped to deal with similar situations in future. Recently, Monkeypox has been concerning the international health community with its lethal impacts for a probable pandemic.

TOPSIS aided ensemble of CNN models for screening COVID-19 in chest X-ray images.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has undoubtedly imprinted our lives with its deadly impact. Early testing with isolation of the individual is the best possible way to curb the spread of this deadly virus. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) provides an alternative and cheap option for screening of the said virus.

An adaptive and altruistic PSO-based deep feature selection method for Pneumonia detection from Chest X-rays.

Pneumonia is one of the major reasons for child mortality especially in income-deprived regions of the world. Although it can be detected and treated with very less sophisticated instruments and medication, Pneumonia detection still remains a major concern in developing countries. Computer-aided based diagnosis (CAD) systems can be used in such countries due to their lower operating costs than professional medical experts.

A fuzzy distance-based ensemble of deep models for cervical cancer detection.

Background And Objective: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of women's death. Like any other disease, cervical cancer's early detection and treatment with the best possible medical advice are the paramount steps that should be taken to ensure the minimization of after-effects of contracting this disease. PaP smear images are one the most effective ways to detect the presence of such type of cancer.
