EfficientNet-B0 Based Multi-Class Kidney Abnormality Classification from CT Images Using Transfer Learning Ramya S S, Prathiba A, Krishnakumar B, Sulaiman Syed Mohamed Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Biosignals Images and Instrumentation Icbsii 2026, 2026 CT scans while evaluating manually consumes a lot of time that motivates the necessity for computer assisted diagnosis systems which are reliable. Kidney abnormalities such as cysts, stone and tumor are diagnosed in advance by the use of computerized analysis of CT images. A deep learningbased multi-class classification framework for the detection of kidney abnormality is presented by this work with the help of CT images. The proposed lightweight, convolutional neural network architecture can be called as EfficientNet-B0 used along with transfer learning to categorize CT images into four groups as normal kidney, cyst, stone, and tumor. Metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were used for performance assessment. The model is worked with a publicly available CT Kidney dataset with an overall accuracy of 84.02% which shown a strong performance for the classes of cyst and tumor and at the same time providing importance to the challenges of class imbalance and visual resemblance present in stone classification. From the results, the practical applicability of EfficientNet-based models for the multi class classification of kidney abnormalities is discovered.
