Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep learning and machine learning have achieved colossal recognition over the past decade through their ability to acquire improved visualizations of the limitations of architecture in the images of organ structures. The motivation behind the evolving algorithms of machine and deep learning in the healthcare (medical) domain is to amend the analyzing power in clinical identification (diagnosis) and to simplify the shortcomings experienced by surgeons to control the body organs by providing a multi-dimensional exhibition of the organ’s internal mechanism. This Special Issue will accept original research papers, reviews, and reports on various research progresses in machine learning and pattern recognition and the challenges experienced in numerous machine learning algorithms and pattern recognition mechanisms. The identification clarity gained by healthcare workers through the visualization of medical data will drastically amend the treatment of patients. It drives researchers to analyze and visualize high-technological medical data, and will help in the encouragement of the execution of machine learning and deep learning algorithms in the medical field.

Submissions are welcome on optimizing techniques and algorithms based on conventional approaches with new machine learning techniques and mechanisms (e.g., deep learning, support vector machines, statistical methods, manifold-space-based methods, artificial neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks). Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Machine and deep learning in healthcare/medicine;
  • Computer vision techniques in pattern recognition;
  • Computer-aided diagnosis;
  • Analyzing fMRI data using deep learning;
  • Deep learning in medical science;
  • Medical image reconstruction;
  • Medical image retrieval.

Chest and lung diseases are among the most serious chronic diseases in the world, and they occur as a result of factors such as smoking, air pollution, or bacterial infection, which would expose the respiratory system and chest to serious disorders. Chest diseases lead to a natural weakness in the respiratory system, which requires the patient to take care and attention to alleviate this problem. Countries are interested in encouraging medical research and monitoring the spread of communicable diseases. Therefore, they advised researchers to perform studies to curb the diseases’ spread and urged researchers to devise methods for swiftly and readily detecting and distinguishing lung diseases. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture of contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and deep convolutional network for the classification of lung diseases. We used X-ray images to create a convolutional neural network (CNN) for early identification and categorization of lung diseases. Initially, the proposed method implemented the support vector machine to classify the images with and without using CLAHE equalizer. The obtained results were compared with the CNN networks. Later, two different experiments were implemented with hybrid architecture of deep CNN networks and CLAHE as a preprocessing for image enhancement. The experimental results indicate that the suggested hybrid architecture outperforms traditional methods by roughly 20% in terms of accuracy. Full article

Brain–computer interfacing has been applied in a range of domains including rehabilitation, neuro-prosthetics, and neurofeedback. Neuroimaging techniques provide insight into the structural and functional aspects of the brain. There is a need to identify, map and understand the various structural areas of the brain together with their functionally active roles for the accurate and efficient design of a brain–computer interface. In this review, the functionally active areas of the brain are reviewed by analyzing the research available in the literature on brain–computer interfacing in conjunction with neuroimaging experiments. This review first provides an overview of various approaches of brain–computer interfacing and basic components in the BCI system and then discuss active functional areas of the brain being utilized in non-invasive brain–computer interfacing performed with hemodynamic signals and electrophysiological recording-based signals. This paper also discusses various challenges and limitations in BCI becoming accessible to a novice user, including security issues in the BCI system, effective ways to overcome those issues, and design implementations.
