Enhancing radiographic image interpretation: WARES-PRS model for knee bone tumour detection

ABSTRACT

The early diagnosis of tumour is significant in biomedical research field to lower the severity level and restrict the process extension from cancer. Moreover, the detection of early sign of cancer is undertaken with extensive research efforts that dedicated to the disclosure and recognition of tumours. However, the limited data size as well as diverse appearance of images lowered the detection performance and failed to detect complex stage of tumour. So to solve these issues, a Weighted Adaptive Random Ensemble Support Vector-based Partial Reinforcement Search (WARES-PRS) algorithm is proposed that detected bone lesions accurately and also predicted the severity level stage efficiently. Further, the detection is performed with varied stages to diminish the presence of noise and undertaken effective classification. The performance is validated with CNUH dataset that enhanced image pre-processing tasks. Despite the proposed method uncover the mutual relationships between each pixel’s local texture and the overall image’s global context. The detection and classification efficiency is validated with various measures and the experimental results revealed that the detection accuracy is enhanced for the proposed approach by 98.5%. The outcomes of our study have exhibited a substantial contribution to assisting physicians in the detection of knee bone tumours.
