Description
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most
common primary malignant neoplasm of the liver
representing the fifth most common malignancy
worldwide. This tumor is more common in men than
women, with a ratio of 2.7:1. Unlike HCC, Dysplasia is
the precancerous nature of liver nodules and is
characterized by cellular and nuclear enlargement,
nuclear pleomorphism, and multinucleation. Area based
Adaptive Expectation Maximization (EM) uses texture,
layout, and context features of cells, and grows clusters to
obtain texton maps of nucleus. A discriminative model of
nucleus and cytoplastic changes of tumor is built by
incorporating texture, layout, and context information
efficiently. A bootsrap regression model of nuclei and
cytoplastic changes are built by incorporating the
aforementioned features efficiently. Mean squared error,
Peak Signal to Noise ratio and Dice similarity values are
used to evaluate the method's classification performance.
The proposed method provides high classification and
segmentation accuracy of nucleus and extra nuclear
content in HCC and dysplasia, which are exceedingly
textured in histopathology images, when compared to
Adaptive K means, EM method and the state-of-the-art
method, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). As
texton detection reduces the cluttered background of
nuclei, the proposed method would be a convenient
mechanism for the classification of nuclei and non-
nuclear features. In conclusion, this system can detect
more eligible cells of precancerous nature as well as
malignant cells even in a cluttered background of nuclei
