Optimized pancreatic tumor imaging diagnosis using deep neural network

Abstract

In the last few decades, poor prognosis of pancreatic tumor has been an issue of concern in spite of the recent advancements in the different imaging modalities. Small size, similar attenuation to normal sized pancreas or concealed position of pancreas during CT scans are the factors that leads to failure in early diagnosis of pancreatic tumor. In this research, an organized framework is proposed for monitoring, classifying and diagnosing of pancreatic tumor. The suggested model integrates the technique of Deep Neural Network (DNN) and optimistic aspects of nature-inspired algorithms; this model aims to achieve a harmonious combination of both the techniques. The proposed model examines the medical images obtained from CT scans for the presence of pancreatic tumor using SSA-ML image segmentation on CT dataset. Evaluation of suggested model in comparison to other contemporary models IDLDMS, ODL, weighted KLM, Kernel-ELM, and ELM models is also performed in reference to sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and F1 score. The classification accuracy of our model is 99.44 % which reflects its supremacy over other recent models.
