Abstract

Aim

The study investigates the creation and assessment of Machine Learning (ML) models using different classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), logistic regression, decision tree, k-nearest neighbour (kNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the automated identification of tuberculosis (TB) from chest X-ray (CXR) images.

Background

As a persistent worldwide health concern, TB requires early detection for effective treatment and control of the infection. The differential diagnosis of TB is a challenge, even for experienced radiologists. With the use of automated processing of CXR images which are reasonable and frequently used for TB diagnosis, employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques provides novel possibilities.

Objective

The objective of the study was to identify respiratory disorders, radiologists devote a lot of time reviewing each of the CXR images. As such, they can identify the type of disease using automated methods based on AI algorithms. This work advances the diagnosis of TB via machine learning, which may result in early treatment options and enhanced outcomes for patients.

Methods

The disease was classified using distinct parameters like edge, shape, and Gray Level Difference Statistics (GLDS) on splitting of the dataset at 70:30 and 80:20.

Results

It was observed that authors attained 93.5% accuracy using SVM with linear kernel for a 70:30 data split considering hybrid parameters. The comparison was made considering different feature extraction techniques, different dataset splitting, existing work, and another dataset.

Conclusion

The designed model using SVM, decision tree, kNN, ANN, and logistic regression was compared using other state-of-the-art techniques, other datasets, different feature extraction techniques, and different splitting of data. AI has great promise for enhancing tuberculosis detection, which will ultimately lead to an earlier diagnosis and improved disease management.
