- Abstract
Simple Summary: A novel approach for automatic detection of neoplastic lesions in lymph nodes is presented, which incorporates machine learning methods and the new LN-RADS scale. The presented solution incorporates different network structures with diverse datasets to improve the overall effectiveness. Final findings demonstrate that incorporating the LN-RADS scale labels improved the overall diagnosis, especially when compared with current, standard practices. The presented solution is meant as an aid in the diagnosis process. The paper presents a novel approach for the automatic detection of neoplastic lesions in lymph nodes (LNs). It leverages the latest advances in machine learning (ML) with the LN Reporting and Data System (LN-RADS) scale. By integrating diverse datasets and network structures, the research investigates the effectiveness of ML algorithms in improving diagnostic accuracy and automation potential. Both Multinominal Logistic Regression (MLR)-integrated and fully connected neuron layers are included in the analysis. The methods were trained using three variants of combinations of histopathological data and LN-RADS scale labels to assess their utility. The findings demonstrate that the LN-RADS scale improves prediction accuracy. MLR integration is shown to achieve higher accuracy, while the fully connected neuron approach excels in AUC performance. All of the above suggests a possibility for significant improvement in the early detection and prognosis of cancer using AI techniques. The study underlines the importance of further exploration into combined datasets and network architectures, which could potentially lead to even greater improvements in the diagnostic process.
