• Abstract summary: Malaria is caused due to the Plasmodium parasite which is circulated through the bites of the female Anopheles mosquito. We propose an automated, computer-aided diagnostic method to classify malarial thin smear blood cell images as parasitized and uninfected by using the ResNet50 Deep Neural Network.

• Abstract: According to the World Malaria Report of 2022, 247 million cases of malaria and 619,000 related deaths were reported in 2021. This highlights the predominance of the disease, especially in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa, parts of South-east Asia, Central and Southern America. Malaria is caused due to the Plasmodium parasite which is circulated through the bites of the female Anopheles mosquito. Hence, the detection of the parasite in human blood smears could confirm malarial infestation. Since the manual identification of Plasmodium is a lengthy and time-consuming task subject to variability in accuracy, we propose an automated, computer-aided diagnostic method to classify malarial thin smear blood cell images as parasitized and uninfected by using the ResNet50 Deep Neural Network. In this paper, we have used the pre-trained ResNet50 model on the open-access database provided by the National Library of Medicine's Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communication for 150 epochs. The results obtained showed accuracy, precision, and recall values of 98.75%, 99.3% and 99.5% on the ResNet50(proposed) model. We have compared these metrics with similar models such as VGG16, Watershed Segmentation and Random Forest, which showed better performance than traditional techniques as well.

The WHO has set audacious goals of reducing malaria incidence and mortality rates by 90% in 2030 and eliminating malaria in 35 countries by that time.

  Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of death among men, with almost 1.41 million new cases and around 375,000 deaths in 2020. To perform an automatic diagnosis, prostate tissue samples are first digitized into gigapixel-resolution whole-slide images. Small subimages called patches are extracted and predicted, obtaining a patch-level classification.
