It is difficult to classify normal and pneumonia in pediatric chest X-ray (CXR) images due to irregular intensity values. In addition, deep learning model has a limitation in that it can misclassify CXR by incorrectly focusing on the outer part of the lung. This study proposed an automatic classification of pneumonia based on ensemble deep learning model using three intensity normalizations and multiscale lung-focused patches on CXR images. First, to correct for irregular intensity values in internal lungs, three intensity normalization methods were performed respectively. Second, to focus on internal lungs, regions of interest were extracted by segmenting lung regions. Third, multiscale lung-focused patches were extracted to train the characterization of pneumonia. Finally, ensemble modeling with attention module was performed to improve the classification performance. In the experiment, the method using large patches of CLAHE images showed an accuracy of 92%, which was 5% higher than that of original images. Furthermore, the proposed method using an ensemble of large and middle patches showed the best performance with an accuracy of 93%.

Pancreas segmentation from abdominal CT images is a prerequisite step for understanding the shape of the pancreas in pancreatic cancer detection. In this paper, we propose an automatic pancreas segmentation method based on a deep convolutional neural network(DCNN) that considers information about the uncertain regions generated by the positional and morphological diversity of the pancreas in abdominal CT images. First, intensity and spacing normalizations are performed in the whole abdominal CT images. Second, the pancreas is localized using 2.5D segmentation networks based on U-Net on the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes and by combining through a majority voting. Third, pancreas segmentation is performed in the localized volume using a 3D U-Net-based segmentation network that takes into account the information about the uncertain areas of the pancreas. The average DSC of pancreas segmentation was 83.50%, which was 10.30%p, 10.44%p, 6.52%p, 1.14%p, and 3.95%p higher than the segmentation method using 2D U-Net at axial view, coronal view, sagittal view, majority voting of the three planes, and 3D U-Net at localized volume, respectively.
