Summary
This study introduces an AI system using deep learning models to accurately detect childhood diseases from MRI scans. The InceptionResNetV2 model achieved 97.59% accuracy, improving pediatric diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging Analysis
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Pediatric Diagnostics
Background:
- Children's diseases pose a global health challenge requiring timely and accurate diagnosis.
- Conventional diagnostic methods are often tedious, inaccurate, and lead to treatment delays.
- Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning, offers potential for improved medical image analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an AI-driven system for detecting childhood diseases using advanced Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models.
- To compare the performance of various CNN architectures on pediatric brain disorder MRI images.
- To identify the most effective AI models for accurate and efficient disease diagnosis in children.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a range of CNN models including EfficientNetB0, Xception, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, VGG19, DenseNet169, ResNet50V2, ResNet152V2, and InceptionResNetV2.
- Trained models on MRI images of pediatric brain disorders, employing data visualization techniques like segmentation and contour-based feature extraction.
- Optimized model performance using ADAM and RMSprop optimizers, evaluating metrics such as accuracy, loss, RMSE, precision, recall, and F1 score.
Main Results:
- The InceptionResNetV2 model, optimized with ADAM, achieved the highest accuracy of 97.59%.
- EfficientNetB0, optimized with RMSprop, attained 94.59% accuracy, while also demonstrating the lowest loss (0.25) and RMSE (0.5) when optimized with ADAM.
- Evaluations included precision, learning curves, recall, computational time, and F1 score, underscoring the efficacy of the AI approaches.
Conclusions:
- AI-driven deep learning models significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing childhood diseases from medical images.
- The proposed system demonstrates the potential of advanced CNN architectures for improving pediatric healthcare outcomes.
- This AI approach offers a promising solution to overcome limitations of conventional diagnostic methods, enabling faster and more reliable disease detection.
