Title: Deep Learning model to detect Colon Cancer in the early stage
Post by: s.arman on April 21, 2019, 02:29:17 AM
What if we can detect anomalies of the colon at an early stage to prevent colon cancer? We are now in a technology era that it’s capable of doing impressive things that we didn’t imagine before. The use of artificial intelligence can detect more abnormalities than a conventional exam. Physicians should take advantage of this.

According to The American Cancer Society, in the United States, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and in women, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths. It’s expected to cause about 51,020 deaths during 2019.

Artificial Intelligence always fascinated me. Not only as a useful set of tools, continuously evolving, but also as an…

Inspired by the #AISTARTUPCHALLENGE created by Siraj Raval, I decided to join the challenge! You can check it out at his Instagram account (Siraj Raval). The dynamic is to create an app that uses AI to solve a problem, get 3 paying customers for your app and submit it to win different prizes.

I will start with this healthcare project that classifies 8 different tissues in histological images of human colorectal cancer.

Colorectal Histology MNIST
Let’s get to know more about the dataset I will be using. I got this dataset at Kaggle and it contains a collection of textures in histological images of human colorectal cancer. It has about 5,000 histological RGB samples of 150X150 px, divided into eight tissue categories (specified by the folder name):

Tumor
Stroma
Complex
Lympho
Debris
Mucosa
Adipose
Empty
My goal is to identify each category. You can also create a model that classifies between Normal and Benign, but in this case, let’s identify all the different anomalies.
