Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Accurate segmentation of pneumonia lesions in lung CT images is crucial for diagnosing COVID-19 and assessing disease severity.
  • AI-based systems face challenges with low-contrast abnormal regions in CT scans, hindering precise segmentation.
  • Image preprocessing techniques are being explored to overcome these limitations and improve AI model performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an AI system for accurate segmentation of COVID-19 related pneumonia lesions in lung CT images.
  • To investigate the efficacy of histogram-based non-parametric region localization and enhancement (LE) as a preprocessing step for deep learning segmentation.
  • To improve the discriminative features of infected lung regions for more accurate AI-driven segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • A novel COVID-19 Lung-CT segmentation system combining histogram-based LE methods with the U-Net architecture was proposed.
  • The LE method was applied to COVID-19 infected lung CT images to detect and enhance abnormal regions.
  • The enhanced images were then used to train the U-Net model for segmenting COVID-19 affected areas.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system achieved high performance metrics: 97.75% accuracy, 0.85 dice score, and 0.74 Jaccard index.
  • Preprocessing lung CT images with LE methods significantly improved the U-Net model's segmentation ability, increasing the dice score by 0.21.
  • The enhanced feature extraction and segmentation capabilities demonstrated the effectiveness of the LE preprocessing step.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of LE methods as a preprocessing step substantially enhances the performance of AI-based segmentation for COVID-19 lung CT images.
  • The proposed system offers a promising approach for accurate and reliable segmentation of pneumonia lesions, aiding in clinical diagnosis and management.
  • The findings suggest potential broader applications of the LE method in segmenting various types of medical images.
