Artificial Intelligent-Powered Detection of Tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) disease still remain a major global threat due to the growing number of drug-resistant species and global warming. Despite the fact that there are new molecular diagnostic approaches, however, majority of developing countries and remote clinics depends on conventional approaches such as Tuberculin test, microscopic examinations and radiographic imaging (Chest X-ray). These techniques are hindered by several challenges which can lead to miss-diagnosis especially when interpreting large number of sample cases. Thus, in order to reduce workload and prevent miss-diagnosis, scientists incorporated computer-aided technology for detection of medical images known as Computer aided Detection (CADe) or Diagnosis (CADx). The use of AI-powered techniques has shown to improve accuracy, sensitivity, specificity. In this review, we discussed about the epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The review also provides background information on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Transfer Learning (TL) and their applications in detection of tuberculosis from both microscopic slide images and X-ray images. The review also proposed an IoT/AI powered system which allows transfer of results obtained from DL models with end users through internet networks. The concept of futuristic diagnosis, limitations of current techniques and open research issues are also discussed.

Peran Monitoring Pembelajaran Dalam Meningkatkan Efektifitas Pengajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam Di Sekolah Menengah

“…Oleh karena itu, pelaksanaan pendidikan sebagai bagian dari upaya mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa harus mendapat perhatian penuh dari pemangku kebijakan di negara ini. Hal ini sesuai dengan pasal 31 Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 amandemen ke-4, yang menyatakan bahwa setiap warga negara berhak mendapatkan Pendidikan (Aliyah et al, 2022).…”

Response of mineral formulation towards different growth phases of arabica coffee in lowland

“…The coffee plants in this stage are more susceptible to leaf rust disease. According to the research of Ibrahim et al (2017), the natural severity of leaf rust disease in 10 coffee seedlings tested species reached 25%, with an incidence of more than 60%. The photosynthate in the mature phase focuses on forming the coffee bean.…”
