Kid-ML: ML For Kidney Malignant Tissues Identification

Abstract

stract A considerable worldwide medical and health burden is imposed by kidney disease due to its high rates of morbidity and death as well as its high economic cost. Imaging tests can be used by doctors to detect kidney tumors or other diseases. Imaging studies include Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), Computed Tomography(CT) scan, and ultrasound scan which consume a lot of time from doctors to detect kidney cancers through them. In order to help doctors to identify tumors in their early stages, they can use simple Machine Learning(ML) techniques or Deep Learning techniques through diagnostics and predictions applications. A rise in interest in deep learning algorithms, which are Artificially Intelligently (AI) based, on a worldwide scale has enabled recent improvements in medical imaging and kidney segmentation. Deep Learning techniques which are AI-based can offer and identify the kidney tumor in a more efficient method, allowing for the development of a more effective kidney tumor detection system. An input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layeare the components of Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs) which is one kind of Deep Learning(DL) algorithm that imitates biological neurons. Another kind is Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) which are often the most effective and well-liked in computer vision for image categorization in medical imaging. Deep learning techniques based on CNNs have shown promising results in a variety of medical image processing applications. However; all deep learning techniques consume very high computational power. In this work, we study the use of simple machine learning algorithms such as Decision Tree(DT), K Nearest Neighbor(KNN), Random Forest(RF) and Logistic Regression(LR) algorithms and compare their results. Simple machine learning algorithms consumes minimum computational power. We discuss the behavior of those machine learning algorithms while changing the resolution of the images. We found that the accuracy of simple machine learning algorithm is stable while decreasing the resolution of images to be 32pixels.
