Leukemia is a malignant disease that impacts explicitly the blood cells, leading to life-threatening infections and premature mortality. State-of-the-art machine-enabled technologies and sophisticated deep learning algorithms can assist clinicians in early-stage disease diagnosis. This study introduces an advanced end-to-end approach for the automated diagnosis of acute leukemia classes acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study gathered a complete database of 44 patients, comprising 670 ALL and AML images. The proposed deep model's architecture consisted of a fusion of graph theory and convolutional neural network (CNN), with six graph Conv layers and a Softmax layer. The proposed deep model achieved a classification accuracy of 99% and a kappa coefficient of 0.85 for ALL and AML classes. The suggested model was assessed in noisy conditions and demonstrated strong resilience. Specifically, the model's accuracy remained above 90%, even at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 0 dB. The proposed approach was evaluated against contemporary methodologies and research, demonstrating encouraging outcomes. According to this, the suggested deep model can serve as a tool for clinicians to identify specific forms of acute leukemia.
白血病是一种严重影响血细胞的恶性疾病,可导致危及生命的感染和过早死亡。先进的机器技术和复杂的深度学习算法可以帮助临床医生进行疾病的早期诊断。本研究介绍了一种先进的端到端方法,用于自动诊断急性白血病的急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)和急性髓细胞白血病(AML)类别。本研究收集了一个包含44名患者的完整数据库,其中包括670张ALL和AML图像。所提出的深度模型架构由图论和卷积神经网络(CNN)融合而成,有六个图卷积层和一个Softmax层。所提出的深度模型在ALL和AML类别上实现了99%的分类准确率和0.85的kappa系数。所建议的模型在噪声条件下进行了评估,并表现出很强的抗干扰能力。具体而言,即使在信噪比(SNR)为0 dB的情况下,该模型的准确率仍保持在90%以上。所提出的方法与当代方法和研究进行了对比评估,结果令人鼓舞。据此,所建议的深度模型可作为临床医生识别特定类型急性白血病的工具。
