A Bi-level analysis of CT images of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is presented in this paper, starting with a deep learning based system for classification, followed by a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method. MPM is a highly aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure, and accurate diagnosis and determination of the tumor’s volume are crucial for effective treatment. The proposed system employs a bi-level approach, utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques to classify CT lung images and subsequently calculate the tumor’s volume. The study addresses challenges related to deep neural networks, such as the requirement for large and diverse datasets, hyperparameter optimization, and potential data bias. To evaluate performance, two CNN architectures, Inception-v3 and ResNet-50, were compared in terms of their features and performance. Based on CT images, the second stage incorporates 3D volume reconstruction. The process is carried out by cropping, registering, filtering, and segmenting images. This study demonstrated the efficacy of the developed system by combining CNN optimizations with 3D image reconstruction. It is intended to improve the accuracy of MPM diagnosis and to assist in the determination of chemotherapy doses, both of which may result in improved outcomes for patients.

Abstract

A Bi-level analysis of CT images of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is presented in this paper, starting with a deep learning based system for classification, followed by a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method. MPM is a highly aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure, and accurate diagnosis and determination of the tumor’s volume are crucial for effective treatment. The proposed system employs a bi-level approach, utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques to classify CT lung images and subsequently calculate the tumor’s volume. The study addresses challenges related to deep neural networks, such as the requirement for large and diverse datasets, hyperparameter optimization, and potential data bias. To evaluate performance, two CNN architectures, Inception-v3 and ResNet-50, were compared in terms of their features and performance. Based on CT images, the second stage incorporates 3D volume reconstruction. The process is carried out by cropping, registering, filtering, and segmenting images. This study demonstrated the efficacy of the developed system by combining CNN optimizations with 3D image reconstruction. It is intended to improve the accuracy of MPM diagnosis and to assist in the determination of chemotherapy doses, both of which may result in improved outcomes for patients.
