Myoma detection from laparoscopy surgery videos using multilayer UNET + + model
摘要
The primary aim of this study is to develop a cutting-edge automated approach for detecting and classifying uterine myomas in medical images through deep learning. The research seeks to determine whether the U-Net + + architecture can accurately and efficiently identify and classify myomas, offering a dependable and advanced tool for clinical diagnostics.
MethodsThe proposed method employs a U-Net + + architecture for myoma detection and classification. Preprocessing includes image normalization, resizing to 256 × 256 pixels, and contrast enhancement using a Gradient-Aware Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (GA-CLAHE) technique. The model is trained on a curated dataset, and its predictions are post-processed to crop and highlight the detected regions of interest accurately. The entire approach is validated against ground truth annotations to ensure reliable performance.
ResultsThe AG-CLAHE-UNET + + method achieved an accuracy of 0.99, with a sensitivity of 0.98 and a specificity of 0.98, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting and classifying uterine myomas.
ConclusionThis study presents a comprehensive method for automated uterine myoma detection using U-Net++. The approach offers a robust and efficient tool for clinical use, with significant implications for improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
