Background:

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a serious blood cancer requiring prompt diagnosis.
Manual ALL diagnosis is slow and can impede timely treatment.
Existing deep learning (DL) models for ALL diagnosis face challenges like complexity and sensitivity to image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel deep learning network, DSCNet, for accurate ALL diagnosis using peripheral blood smear images.
To overcome limitations of current DL methods in ALL detection.

Main Methods:

Proposed a Deep Skip Connections-Based Dense Network (DSCNet) architecture.
Integrated skip connections, custom image filtering, KL divergence loss, and dropout regularization.
Trained and evaluated DSCNet on an augmented dataset of ALL peripheral blood smear images.

Main Results:

DSCNet demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods.
Achieved significant improvements in accuracy (1.25%), sensitivity (1.32%), specificity (1.12%), F-score (1.24%), and AUC (1.23%).

Conclusions:

DSCNet shows significant potential as an effective tool for early and accurate ALL diagnosis.
The model's performance suggests clinical applicability for improving patient outcomes and advancing leukemia detection research.
