Detection of Deep Vein Thrombosis via Deep Learning-Based Dilated Pelican Convolutional Neural Network
摘要
Blood clots within deep veins cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious medical condition that typically occurs in the lower extremities. Preventing potentially fatal consequences like pulmonary embolism requires early and precise diagnosis of DVT. In this research, a novel Deep Thrombosis Net that has been proposed to identify DVT in CT images. The process begins with preprocessing the input CT images using a contrast stitching adaptive Gaussian star filter to eliminate noise artifacts. Next, the denoised images undergo feature extraction utilizing dilated convolutional neural network (Dilated CNN) to capture essential features. The pelican algorithm is employed to select pertinent features from the CT images. Subsequently, a deep belief network (DBN) is utilized to classify cases into normal and DVT categories. The accuracy of the proposed Deep Thrombosis Net is 99.03%. The proposed Deep Thrombosis Net improves the overall accuracy of 4.33%, 26.48% better than CTPAs, and ResNet-101, respectively.
