Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding and using complex, high-dimensional, and heterogeneous biological data continues to be a major challenge in the transformation of healthcare. Feature engineering is generally required in traditional data mining and statistical learning techniques for building prediction models to extract useful and more robust features from data. New efficient paradigms for creating end-to-end learning models from complex data are provided by the most recent advancements in deep learning.

The aim of this Special Issue is to examine the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques employed for different problems in the field of biomedical engineering. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and reviews related to deep learning for biomedical engineering. Articles that examine cutting-edge deep learning methods will be highly appreciated.

Medicine is one of the fields where the advancement of computer science is making significant progress. Some diseases require an immediate diagnosis in order to improve patient outcomes. The usage of computers in medicine improves precision and accelerates data processing and diagnosis. In order to categorize biological images, hybrid machine learning, a combination of various deep learning approaches, was utilized, and a meta-heuristic algorithm was provided in this research. In addition, two different medical datasets were introduced, one covering the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain tumors and the other dealing with chest X-rays (CXRs) of COVID-19. These datasets were introduced to the combination network that contained deep learning techniques, which were based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) or autoencoder, to extract features and combine them with the next step of the meta-heuristic algorithm in order to select optimal features using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. This combination sought to reduce the dimensionality of the datasets while maintaining the original performance of the data. This is considered an innovative method and ensures highly accurate classification results across various medical datasets. Several classifiers were employed to predict the diseases. The COVID-19 dataset found that the highest accuracy was 99.76% using the combination of CNN-PSO-SVM. In comparison, the brain tumor dataset obtained 99.51% accuracy, the highest accuracy derived using the combination method of autoencoder-PSO-KNN. Full article

Skin lesion classification is vital for the early detection and diagnosis of skin diseases, facilitating timely intervention and treatment. However, existing classification methods face challenges in managing complex information and long-range dependencies in dermoscopic images. Therefore, this research aims to enhance the feature representation by incorporating local, global, and hierarchical features to improve the performance of skin lesion classification. We introduce a novel dual-track deep learning (DL) model in this research for skin lesion classification. The first track utilizes a modified Densenet-169 architecture that incorporates a Coordinate Attention Module (CoAM). The second track employs a customized convolutional neural network (CNN) comprising a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and Global Context Network (GCN) to capture multiscale features and global contextual information. The local features from the first track and the global features from second track are used for precise localization and modeling of the long-range dependencies. By leveraging these architectural advancements within the DenseNet framework, the proposed neural network achieved better performance compared to previous approaches. The network was trained and validated using the HAM10000 dataset, achieving a classification accuracy of 93.2%. Full article

Accurate tooth segmentation and numbering are the cornerstones of efficient automatic dental diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, a multitask learning architecture has been proposed for accurate tooth segmentation and numbering in panoramic X-ray images. A graph convolution network was applied for the automatic annotation of the target region, a modified convolutional neural network-based detection subnetwork (DSN) was used for tooth recognition and boundary regression, and an effective region segmentation subnetwork (RSSN) was used for region segmentation. The features extracted using RSSN and DSN were fused to optimize the quality of boundary regression, which provided impressive results for multiple evaluation metrics. Specifically, the proposed framework achieved a top F1 score of 0.9849, a top Dice metric score of 0.9629, and an mAP (IOU = 0.5) score of 0.9810. This framework holds great promise for enhancing the clinical efficiency of dentists in tooth segmentation and numbering tasks. Full article
