  • EmbryoNet-VGG16 framework for deep learning-based embryo classification with Otsu segmentation
    M. Saraniya, J. Anitha Ruth
    Discover Artificial Intelligence, 2025
    The outcome of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) success depends heavily on accurate embryo grading, which we have performed manually for many years. The authors develop EmbryoNet-VGG16, a system that functions as an automated embryo quality evaluation tool, combining Otsu segmentation with a modified Visual Geometry Group-16 (VGG16) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. Training on 84 synthesised embryo pictures from a balanced dataset allowed our model to learn better generalisation. The healthcare imaging process begins with Otsu thresholding segmentation of embryo pictures and continues with the application of our 16-layer CNN model for embryonic quality assessment. The network contains specialised convolutional layers that identify important quality indicators through the analysis of border characteristics and structural integrity. Our EmbryoNet-VGG16 achieves superior classification results compared to traditional machine learning models, as indicated by an accuracy of 88.1%, with a precision of 0.90 and a recall of 0.86. This outperforms Random Forest and Decision Trees, as well as Logistic Regression models, which yield 83.41%, 82.31%, and 77.42%, respectively. EmbryoNet-VGG16 shows reliable good and poor embryo segregation by extracting quality features from manual expert assessments. The implementation of an automated system in IVF clinics would create standardised embryo assessment protocols that enhance treatment success rates while alleviating the time-consuming requirements of manual assessment processes.

  • Clinical-ready CNN framework for lung cancer classification: Systematic optimization for healthcare deployment with enhanced computational efficiency
    G. Inbasakaran, J. Anitha Ruth
    Intelligence Based Medicine, 2025
    : Purpose This study develops a computationally efficient Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for lung cancer classification in Computed Tomography (CT) images, addressing the critical need for accurate diagnostic tools deployable in resource-constrained clinical settings. Methods Using the IQ-OTH/NCCD dataset (1,190 CT images: normal, benign, and malignant classes from 110 patients), we implemented systematic architecture optimization with strategic data augmentation to address class imbalance and limited dataset challenges. Patient-level data splitting prevented leakage, ensuring valid performance metrics. The model was evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation and compared against established architectures using McNemar's test for statistical significance. Results The optimized CNN achieved 94% classification accuracy with only 4.2 million parameters and 18ms inference time. Performance significantly exceeded AlexNet (85%), VGG-16 (88%), ResNet-50 (90%), InceptionV3 (87%), and DenseNet (86%) with p<0.05. Malignant case detection showed excellent clinical metrics (precision: 0.96, recall: 0.95, F1-score: 0.95), critical for minimizing false negatives. Ablation studies revealed data augmentation contributed 6.6% accuracy improvement, with rotation and translation proving most effective. The model operates 4.3× faster than ResNet-50 while using 6× fewer parameters, enabling deployment on standard clinical workstations with 4-8GB GPU memory. Conclusions Carefully optimized CNN architectures can achieve superior diagnostic performance while meeting computational constraints of real-world medical settings. Our approach demonstrates that systematic optimization strategies effectively balance accuracy with clinical deployment feasibility, providing a practical framework for implementing AI-assisted lung cancer detection in resource-limited healthcare environments. The model's high sensitivity for malignant cases positions it as a valuable clinical decision support tool.
  • Deep learning-based embryo quality assessment: A dual-branch CNN model integrating morphological and spatial features
    M. Saraniya, J. Anitha Ruth
    Intelligence Based Medicine, 2025
    Background The assessment of embryo quality on Day 3 plays a crucial role in enhancing in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. The existing embryo grading method relies on human judgment, resulting in unreliable results across various assessments due to observer subjectivity and variability. Methods This research presents a dual-branch convolutional neural network (CNN) that combines spatial and morphological data features to perform an objective evaluation of embryo quality. The modified EfficientNet architecture within the first branch extracts deep spatial features from embryo images. The second branch analyzes morphological parameters obtained through bounding box analysis of symmetry scores and fragmentation percentages. The integrated features from both branches are processed by SoftMax-activated fully connected layers for quality grade classification. Results Experiments conducted on 220 embryo images from the Kaggle World Championship 2023 Embryo Classification competition demonstrate outstanding performance. The proposed system achieved 94.3% accuracy, outperforming specialised embryo evaluation techniques (88.5%-92.1%) and standard CNN structures, including VGG-16 (79.2%), ResNet-50 (80.8%), and MobileNetV2 (82.1%). The model achieved a precision of 0.849, a recall of 0.900, and an F1-score of 0.874. The segmentation methodology achieved 95.2% bounding box accuracy, ensuring trustworthy morphological feature extraction. Conclusions The dual-branch architecture provides a performance-efficiency equilibrium (8.3M parameters, 4.5 hours training time) suitable for clinical utilization. This method advances embryo assessment standards through objective evaluation techniques, minimising observer subjectivity while maximising IVF success rates through improved embryo screening.
  • Detection of Brain Tumor Using Machine Learning Model
    R. Uma, P. Ramkumar, C. Sivaprakash, J. Anitha Ruth, Sa.Viswavardinii
    Brain Informatics Technology, 2025
    Cancers pose a threat to human life when they arise in any part of the body, but they are more harmful when they arise in the brain. To save a life, it is best to diagnose and treat it early on. This research offers a thorough method for predicting brain tumors through the use of deep learning and transfer learning strategies, which are implemented in Python utilizing the TensorFlow, Keras libraries, and Flask framework. The process includes creating the model, augmenting the data, training, testing, and validating it. The dataset is made up of brain MRI pictures that have been enhanced with additional data to enhance model performance. The pre-trained image dataset serves as the foundation for feature extraction, and a bespoke dense layer is used to predict the tumor. The model achieves an impressive accuracy of roughly 92.94% after being trained and assessed over 15 epochs. The algorithm is trained to predict the tumor based on a single MRI scan from the image database.
  • Early prediction of cardiac arrest using data mining algorithms
    P. Ramkumar, R. Uma, D. Sivakumar, J. Anitha Ruth
    Artificial Intelligence Transformations for Healthcare Applications Medical Diagnosis Treatment and Patient Care, 2024
    Cardiac arrest is a potentially fatal loss of heart function that occurs suddenly and without warning. Predicting cardiac arrest early could increase the likelihood of survival and allow for prompt treatment. The discipline of computer science known as “datamining” focuses on the process of gleaning useful information from massive databases. Algorithms for data mining can be used to look for trends in records that can indicate a cardiac arrest. Patients at high risk of cardiac arrest due to their medical history, lifestyle choices, or other variables can be pinpointed, for instance, with the help of data mining algorithms. Prediction of cardiac arrest using data mining techniques is discussed in this research. The chapter talks about the many data mining methods that have been employed for this, and the studies that have evaluated their efficacy. The chapter also covers the difficulties of employing data mining for early prediction of cardiac arrest, as well as potential future research avenues.
  • COVID-19 contamination extraction from CT images using an adaptive network
    Poonguzhali Arunachalam, P. Ramkumar, R. Uma, J. Anitha Ruth
    Artificial Intelligence Transformations for Healthcare Applications Medical Diagnosis Treatment and Patient Care, 2024
    The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most significant threats to the general population's health in the 21st century. In this study, a novel meta-learning based FSS model is proposed. This model is realized as an adaptive relation network built on Deeplabv3+ for training the support sets and a convolutional network with swish activations functions for non-linear metric learning. The performance of this model that was trained using supervised and semi-supervised learning algorithms on two public datasets is significantly better. This model obtains a global accuracy of 0.8396 for ground glass opacity (GGO) and consolidation segmentation and 0.9996 for entire lung infection segmentations correspondingly. In addition, the model that was proposed generalizes well with data that has not yet been seen and has the potential to be expanded to the identification of other infections in image volumes that are rendered in three dimensions and four dimensions.
