Enhancing Predictive Modeling in Using CT and CXR Images: A Review of Lung Disease Detection and Experimental Insights
摘要
In medical Chest Radiography (CXR) and Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, the critical importance of accurate data acquisition offers significant challenges in multi-class classification. This study provides an exhaustive examination of a variety of lung-related diseases, including the recent Covid-19 pandemic, and highlights their prevalent symptoms. Additionally, we emphasize significant contributions from the research community and identify the most popular methodologies for addressing the multi-class classification conundrum. We conduct exhaustive experiments to further our comprehension of the results of these experiments, drawing on these insights. Our methodology is based on a seven-class classification approach, which produces exceptional results. Specifically, our concatenation-based method on balanced data obtains an F1-score of 97.56% and an impressive accuracy of 97.57%. Our framework maintains high performance, obtaining an F1-score of 94.64% and 95.22% accuracy on unbalanced data. These results are meticulously compared to state-of-the-art predictive models, thereby enhancing the existing literature with empirical evidence. Additionally, we investigate the integration of a variety of modalities, including CT and CXR images, with the objective of enhancing the efficacy of the model. Our results emphasize the efficacy of the proposed predictive models in CXR imaging, offering practical insights for both researchers and practitioners.
