CG‐Net: A novel CNN framework for gastrointestinal tract diseases classification

Abstract

AbstractThe classification of medical images has had a significant influence on the diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions. Conventional disease diagnosis procedures require a substantial amount of time and effort to accurately diagnose. Based on global statistics, gastrointestinal cancer has been recognized as a major contributor to cancer‐related deaths. The complexities involved in resolving gastrointestinal tract (GIT) ailments arise from the need for elaborate methods to precisely identify the exact location of the problem. Therefore, doctors frequently use wireless capsule endoscopy to diagnose and treat GIT problems. This research aims to develop a robust framework using deep learning techniques to effectively classify GIT diseases for therapeutic purposes. A CNN based framework, in conjunction with the feature selection method, has been proposed to improve the classification rate. The proposed framework has been evaluated using various performance measures, including accuracy, recall, precision, F1 measure, mean absolute error, and mean squared error.
