Unsupervised CNN model for Sclerosis Detection

Abstract

Sclerosis detection using brain magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) im-ages is challenging task. With the promising results for variety of ap-plications in terms of classification accuracy using of deep neural net-work models, one can use such models for sclerosis detection. The fea-tures associated with sclerosis is important factor which is highlighted with contrast lesion in brain MRI images. The sclerosis classification initially can be considered as binary task in which the sclerosis seg-mentation can be avoided for reduced complexity of the model. The sclerosis lesion show considerable impact on the features extracted us-ing convolution process in convolution neural network models. The images are used to train the convolutional neural network composed of 35 layers for the classification of sclerosis and normal images of brain MRI. The 35 layers are composed of combination of convolutional lay-ers, Maxpooling layers and Upscaling layers. The results are com-pared with VGG16 model and results are found satisfactory and about 92% accuracy is seen for validation set.
