Decision Support System for Lymphoma Classification

Abstract

The diffuse lymphoma is a malignant tumor of lymphoid tissues. It is associated with abnormal, unlimited and uncontrolled proliferation of lymphoid cells. Until now, expert pathologists have identified diffuse lymphoma cells disease manually. This paper introduces automatic system with a friendly user interface to differentiate between the categories of the diffuse lymphoma cells. This research is based on the morphological features such as size, perimeter and circularity. The cell size is a critical element in the classification of diffuse lymphoma according to international formulation standards. Therefore, the applied procedures identify lymphoid cell population in digital microscopic images.The cells are classified using their morphological data according to the characteristics of each cell such as: circularity, perimeter, area, and color density. The number of cells is taken into consideration in the developed approach. Image processing techniques are applied to digital microscopic images to measure morphological parameters and to overcome image problems such as overlapping and cell distortion that affect the sensitivity of the measured data. The developed procedures help the pathologists to come to a decision regarding the classification of diffuse lymphoma. Moreover, it can be used to train medical students and young pathologists.

Application of Machine Learning in Developing Decision-Making Support Models for Decompressed Vertebroplasty

“…According to the magnitude of the coefficients of the comparison function, the weight of each variable and its degree of contribution to the model are known [ 19 , 20 ]. As a judgment based on conditional rules provided by the Bayesian network is rather vague and the method of interpretative prediction provided by discriminant analysis is not effective enough, it is worth considering the use of an integrated method for predictive models, such as the combination of discriminant analysis and neural networks, which will further improve the accuracy and interpretation capabilities of the model [ 21 , 22 ]. Other machine learning methods, such as deep learning or XGBoost, should also be considered as possible options in the future.…”

Comparison of different predicting models to assist the diagnosis of spinal lesions

“…Based on the monitoring of historical cases by medical institutions, a classification model has been constructed that can be used to predict the effects of vancomycin in patients, to efficiently assist medical personnel to accurately monitor its treatment effectiveness, and to reduce the potential waste of medical resources. 21 The aforementioned related studies all attest to the feasibility of applying information technology techniques for assisting, or even predicting, the results of medical diagnoses. 22 In this study, we focused primarily on the classification-based analysis methods.…”

“…Bayesian networks, decision trees, and Back Propagation Neural network (BPN) algorithms have been applied to breast cancer, to Chinese medicine tongue diagnosis images, and to the management of the health records of patients with diabetes, respectively. 21 A C4.5 decision tree analysis and BPNs have been applied in the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of blood vancomycin. Based on the monitoring of historical cases by medical institutions, a classification model has been constructed that can be used to predict the effects of vancomycin in patients, to efficiently assist medical personnel to accurately monitor its treatment effectiveness, and to reduce the potential waste of medical resources.…”

Two-way detection of image features and immunolabeling of lymphoma cells with one-step microarray analysis

“…Currently, blood cell image recognition is a research hotspot based on individual differences of white blood cells. [34][35][36] It is thought that intelligent selection of cell parameters and identification procedures can be set based on the pathological differentiation of the cells. cell area.…”
