KidneyMultiNet: A Web-Based Automatic System for Kidney Disease Detection Using Hybrid Machine Learning Model From CT Scan Images

Chronic renal disease is the term used to describe kidney function that gradually declines. The kidneys’ final byproduct of eliminating waste and surplus fluid from the bloodstream is urine. Abnormal accumulations of fluid, electrolytes, and waste products can occur in the body when chronic renal disease progresses to a critical degree. Nonetheless, kidney disease has been predicted using various artificial machine learning algorithm approaches. In this study, authors present the “KidneyMultiNet” framework, which combines two models of convolutional neural networks Densenet201 and Xception, which are based on the idea of transfer learning and can predict kidney disease based on kidney CT scan datasets. The “KidneyMultiNet” design that has been suggested makes a thorough and reasonable diagnosis of kidney disease in the kidney conceivable. The authors used a publicly available kidney CT scan image dataset to train and test the proposed model. To determine the efficacy of the output from suggested advanced machine learning CNN methods, the author fed them picture data using a train generator. Then, the author used a rate of learning to decrease the datasets within the proposed model. After completing various learning procedures with many kidney pictures, the proposed model could accurately predict kidney disease, reaching a maximum performance of 99.92%.
