Medical imaging has significantly revolutionized medical diagnostics and treatment planning, progressing from early X-ray usage to sophisticated methods like MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. This paper investigates the use of deep learning for medical image captioning, with a particular focus on uterine ultrasound images. These images are vital in obstetrics and gynecology for diagnosing and monitoring various conditions across different age groups. However, their interpretation is often challenging due to their complexity and variability. To address this, a deep learning-based medical image captioning system was developed, integrating Convolutional Neural Networks with a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit network. This hybrid model processes both image and text features to generate descriptive captions for uterine ultrasound images. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach over baseline methods, with the proposed model achieving superior performance in generating accurate and informative captions, as indicated by higher BLEU and ROUGE scores. By enhancing the interpretation of uterine ultrasound images, our research aims to assist medical professionals in making timely and accurate diagnoses, ultimately contributing to improved patient care.

High quality ECG dataset based on MIT-BIH recordings for improved heartbeats classification
Benmessaoud, Ahmed. S, Medjani, Farida, Bousseloub, Yahia, Bouaita, Khalid, Benrahem, Dhia, Kezai, Tahar
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a reliable tool for medical professionals to detect and diagnose abnormal heart waves that may cause cardiovascular diseases. This paper proposes a methodology to create a new high-quality heartbeat dataset from all 48 of the MIT-BIH recordings. The proposed approach computes an optimal heartbeat size, by eliminating outliers and calculating the mean value over 10-second windows. This results in independent QRS-centered heartbeats avoiding the mixing of successive heartbeats problem. The quality of the newly constructed dataset has been evaluated and compared with existing datasets. To this end, we built and trained a PyTorch 1-D Resnet architecture model that achieved 99.24\% accuracy with a 5.7\% improvement compared to other methods. Additionally, downsampling the dataset has improved the model's execution time by 33\% and reduced 3x memory usage.

Automatic Classification of Blood Cell Images Using Convolutional Neural Network
Asghar, Rabia, Kumar, Sanjay, Hynds, Paul, Mahfooz, Abeera
Human blood primarily comprises plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It plays a vital role in transporting nutrients to different organs, where it stores essential health-related data about the human body. Blood cells are utilized to defend the body against diverse infections, including fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Hence, blood analysis can help physicians assess an individual's physiological condition. Blood cells have been sub-classified into eight groups: Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, immature granulocytes (promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes), erythroblasts, and platelets or thrombocytes on the basis of their nucleus, shape, and cytoplasm. Traditionally, pathologists and hematologists in laboratories have examined these blood cells using a microscope before manually classifying them. The manual approach is slower and more prone to human error. Therefore, it is essential to automate this process. In our paper, transfer learning with CNN pre-trained models. VGG16, VGG19, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, ResNet-152, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, and DenseNet-20 applied to the PBC dataset's normal DIB. The overall accuracy achieved with these models lies between 91.375 and 94.72%. Hence, inspired by these pre-trained architectures, a model has been proposed to automatically classify the ten types of blood cells with increased accuracy. A novel CNN-based framework has been presented to improve accuracy. The proposed CNN model has been tested on the PBC dataset normal DIB. The outcomes of the experiments demonstrate that our CNN-based framework designed for blood cell classification attains an accuracy of 99.91% on the PBC dataset. Our proposed convolutional neural network model performs competitively when compared to earlier results reported in the literature.
