• Abstract: One of the most serious public health problems in Peru and worldwide is Tuberculosis (TB), which is produced by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The purpose of this work is to facilitate and automate the diagnosis of tuberculosis using the MODS method and using lens-free microscopy, as it is easier to calibrate and easier to use by untrained personnel compared to lens microscopy. Therefore, we employed a U-Net network on our collected data set to perform automatic segmentation of cord shape bacterial accumulation and then predict tuberculosis. Our results show promising evidence for automatic segmentation of TB cords, and thus good accuracy for TB prediction.

• Enhanced Tuberculosis Bacilli Detection using Attention-Residual U-Net and Ensemble Classification [0.0]
  Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a critical global health issue, necessitating timely diagnosis and treatment. Current methods for detecting tuberculosis bacilli from bright field microscopic sputum smear images suffer from low automation, inadequate segmentation performance, and limited classification accuracy. This paper proposes an efficient hybrid approach that combines deep learning for segmentation and an ensemble model for classification.

  Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major global health threat despite being preventable and curable. This paper proposes a twostage deep learning methodology for tuberculosis bacilli detection, comprising bacilli segmentation followed by classification. In the initial phase, an advanced U-Net model employing attention blocks and residual connections is proposed to segment microscopic sputum smear images, enabling the extraction of Regions of Interest (ROIs) The extracted ROIs are then classified using a Vision Transformer, which we specifically customized as TBViT to enhance the precise detection of bacilli within the images.

  Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat, causing millions of deaths annually. Computer-aided tuberculosis diagnosis (CTD) using deep learning has shown promise, but progress is hindered by limited training data. We establish a large-scale dataset, namely the Tuberculosis X-ray (TBX11K) dataset, which contains 11,200 chest X-ray (CXR) images with corresponding bounding box annotations for TB areas. This dataset enables the training of sophisticated detectors for high-quality CTD.

  Automated detection of lung infections from computed tomography (CT) images offers a great potential to augment the traditional healthcare strategy for tackling COVID-19. segmenting infected regions from CT slices faces several challenges, including high variation in infection characteristics, and low intensity contrast between infections and normal tissues. To address these challenges, a novel COVID-19 Deep Lung Infection Network (Inf-Net) is proposed to automatically identify infected regions from chest CT slices.
