Kidney Stone Detection using Ultrasound Images

ABSTRACT

The Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. Kidney stone problem
occurs as a common problem to every human being, due to nature of living. A kidney stone termed as
renal calculi is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney when substances that are normally found in
the urine become highly concentrated. The ultimate aim of medical image segmentation is to reduce the
amount of time a radiologist needs to spend for looking at an image to identify the portions of renal
calculi.

INTRODUCTION
The detection of kidney stones are highly challenging task as they have low contrast and
speckle noise. This challenge is overcome by using suitable imaging techniques and filters.
Ultrasound images normally consist of speckle noise which cannot be removed by normal
filters. So the median filtering algorithm is proposed, the median filter removes the speckle
noise. The pre-processed image is achieved with a median filter to remove noise and to
detect the stone region. Majority of people with kidney stone disease do not notice the
disease as it damages organs slowly before showing symptoms. Different types of kidney
stones namely renal calculi, struvite stones, staghorn stones were analysed. In order to get
rid of the painful disorder the kidney stone is diagnosed through ultrasound images and
then removed through a surgical process like breaking up of stone into smaller pieces
which then pass through the urinary tract. Kidney stone disease is one of the major life-
threatening ailments persisting worldwide. The stone diseases remain unnoticed in the
initial stage, which in turn damages the kidney as they develop. A majority of people are
affected by kidney failure due to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and
so forth
1.1 CLASSIFICATION
Classification is a technique where we categorize data into a given number of classes.
Themain goal of a classification problem is to identify the category/class to which a new
data will fall under. Image Classification is the task of assigning an input image one
labelfrom afixed set of categories. This is one of the core problems in ComputerVision
that, despite its simplicity, has a large variety of practical applications. Many others
seemingly distinct Computer Vision tasks (such as object detection, segmentation) can be
reduced to imageclassification.
1.2ClassificationAlgorithms:

Digital Image Processing Tutorial provides basic and advanced concepts of Image
Processing. Our Digital Image Processing Tutorial is designed for beginners and
professionals both. Digital Image Processing is used to manipulate the images by the use
of algorithms. For processing digital images the most common software that used widely is
Adobe Photoshop. Our Digital Image Processing Tutorial includes all topics of Digital
Image Processing such as introduction, computer graphics, signals, photography, camera
mechanism, pixel, transaction, types of Images, etc.

1.3 Machine Learning:

Machine learning is a growing technology which enables computers to

learn automatically from past data. Machine learning uses various
algorithms for building mathematical models and making predictions
using historical data or information. Currently, it is being used for various
tasks such as image recognition, speech recognition, email
filtering, Facebook auto-tagging, recommender system, and many
more.Machine Learning is said as a subset of artificial intelligence that is
mainly concerned with the development of algorithms which allow a
computer to learn from the data and past experiences on their own

AdvantagesofMachineLearning:
Machine learning is a field of computer science and artificial
intelligence that deals with the task of teaching computers to learn from data
without being explicitly programmed. It is a type of data mining that allows
computers to “learn” on their own by analyzing data sets and using pattern
recognition. Machine learning has many benefits, including improved
accuracy, efficiency, and decision-making.

Handling large amounts of data: With the ever-growing volume of

data generated every day, it is increasingly difficult for humans to process
and make sense of all this information. Machine learning can help
businesses handle large amounts of data more efficiently and effectively
and even use decision trees to take action on the information.

Reducing bias: Machine learning algorithms are not biased toward certain
data sets, unlike human beings, who may have personal biases that can
distort their judgment. As a result, machine learning can help reduce bias in
business decisions.

Improving accuracy: Machine learning algorithms can achieve much

higher accuracy than humans when making predictions or classifying
labeled data. This improved accuracy can lead to better business outcomes
and increased profits.

Discovering patterns and correlations: Machine learning can help

businesses uncover patterns and correlations in data that they may not have
been able to detect otherwise. These learning systems can lead to better
decision-making and a deeper understanding of the data.

Making predictions about future events: Machine learning algorithms can

predict future events, such as consumer behavior, stock prices, and election
outcomes.

1.4Applications of Machine Learning

Image Recognition
Image recognition is one of the most common applications of
machine learning. It is used to identify objects, persons, places, digital
images, etc. The popular use case of image recognition and face detection
is, Automatic friend tagging suggestion: Facebook provides us a feature of
auto friend tagging suggestion. Whenever we upload a photo with our
Facebook friends, then we automatically get a tagging suggestion with
name, and the technology behind this is machine learning's face detection
and recognition algorithm. It is based on the Facebook project named "Deep
Face," which is responsible for face recognition and person identification in
the picture.

Speechrecognition:

While using Google, we get an option of "Search by voice," it comes

under speech recognition, and it's a popular application of machine learning.
Speech recognition is a process of converting voice instructions into text,
and it is also known as "Speech to text", or "Computer speech recognition."
At present, machine learning algorithms are widely used by various
applications of speech recognition. Google assistant, Siri, Cortana, and
Alexa are using speech recognition technology to follow the voice
instructions.

Traffic Prediction:
If we want to visit a new place, we take help of Google Maps, which shows
us the correct path with the shortest route and predicts the traffic conditions. It
predicts the traffic conditions such as whether traffic is cleared, slow-moving, or
heavily congested with the help of two ways:

1.Real Time location of the vehicle form Google Map app and sensors
2.Average time has taken on past days at the same time.

Product Recommendations

Machine learning is widely used by various e-commerce and

entertainment companies such as Amazon, Netflix, etc., for product
recommendation to the user. Whenever we search for some product on
Amazon, then we started getting an advertisement for the same product
while internet surfing on the same browser and this is because of machine
learning.

1.5 DEEPLEARNING

Deep learning technology is based on artificial neural networks

(ANNs). These

1.7 APPLICATIONSOFDEEPLEARNING

Automaticspeechrecognition

Large-scale automatic speech recognition is the first and most

convincing successfulcase of deep learning. LSTM RNNs can learn "Very
Deep Learning" tasks that involve multi-second
intervalscontainingspeecheventsseparated by thousands of discrete time
steps,where one- time step corresponds to about 10 milliseconds. LSTM
with forget gates iscompetitive with traditional speech recognizers on certain
tasks. The initial success in speechrecognition was based on small-scale
recognition tasks base on TIMIT. The data set contains630 speakers from
eight major dialects of American English, where each speaker reads
10sentences. Its small size lets many configurations be tried. More
importantly, the TIMIT taskconcerns phone-sequence recognition, which,
unlike word-sequence recognition, allows weakphone bigram language
models. This lets the strength of the acoustic modelling aspects
ofspeechrecognition be moreeasilyanalysed.

more expressive representation of image features.VGG-19 is trained on the
ImageNet dataset, which consists of millions of labeled images from
thousands of categories

Inception v3 algorithm:
Inception-v3 is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture developed
by Google for image recognition and classification tasks. It is an improvement over
the original Inception model. The Inception-v3 architecture is designed to be
deeper and more powerful than previous CNNs. It consists of 48 layers, including
convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. It also includes
several unique features such as the Inception module. This technique reduces the
number of parameters in the model, which helps to reduce overfitting and improve
performance

VideoAnalysis

Compared to image data domains, there is relatively little work on applying

CNNs tovideo classification. Video is more complex than images since it has
another (temporal)dimension. However, some extensions of CNNsintothe
video domain have been explored.One approach is to treat space and time
as equivalent dimensions of the input and performconvolutions in both time
and space. Another way is to fuse the features of two
convolutionalneuralnetworks,oneforthespatialandoneforthetemporalstream.L
ongshort-termmemory (LSTM) recurrent units are typically incorporated after
the CNN to account forinter-frame or inter-clip dependencies. Unsupervised
learning schemes for training spatial-temporal features have been
introduced, based on Convolutional Gated Restricted Boltzmann.

LITERATURE SURVEY:

TITLE :
Design and Analysis Performance of Kidney Stone Detection from
Ultrasound Image by Level Set Segmentation and ANN
Classification.
AUTHORS :
K.Viswanath, R.Gunasunda
ABSTRACT:

The abnormalities of the kidney can be identified by ultrasound imaging. The kidney may
have structural abnormalities like kidney swelling, change in its position and appearance.
Kidney abnormality may also arise due to the formation of stones, cysts, cancerous cells,
congenital anomalies, blockage of urine etc. For surgical operations it is very important to
identify the exact and accurate location of stone in the kidney. The ultrasound images are
of low contrast and contain speckle noise. This makes the detection of kidney
abnormalities rather challenging task. In level set segmentation two terms are used in our
work. First term is using a momentum term and second term is based on resilient
propagation (R prop ). Extracted region of the kidney after segmentation is applied to
Symlets, Biorthogonal (bio3.7, bio3.9 & bio4.4) and Daubechies wavelet subbands to
extract energy levels. These energy level gives an indication about presence of stone in
that particular location which significantly vary from that of normal energy level. These
energy levels are trained by Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Back Propagation (BP)
ANN to identify the type of stone with an accuracy of 98.8%.
UML DIAGRAMS:
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a standardized
general-purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented
software engineering. The standard is managed, and was created by,
the Object Management Group.
The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models
of object oriented computer software. In its current form UML is
comprised of two major components: a Meta-model and a notation. In
the future, some form of method or process may also be added to; or
associated with, UML.
The Unified Modeling Language is a standard language for specifying,
Visualization, Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software
system, as well as for business modeling and other non-software
systems.
The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have
proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems.
The UML is a very important part of developing objects oriented
software and the software development process. The UML uses mostly
graphical notations to express the design of software projects.
GOALS:
The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:
1. Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling
Language so that they can develop and exchange meaningful
models.
2. Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the
core concepts.
3. Be independent of particular programming languages and
development process.
4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.
5. Encourage the growth of OO tools market.
6. Support higher level development concepts such as collaborations,
frameworks, patterns and components.
7. Integrate best practices.
USE CASE DIAGRAM:

A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of

behavioral diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its
purpose is to present a graphical overview of the functionality provided
by a system in terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases),
and any dependencies between those use cases. The main purpose of a
use case diagram is to show what system functions are performed for
which actor. Roles of the actors in the system can be depicted.

CHAPTER-5

SYSTEMTESTING

5.1.1SYSTEM TEST
The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of
trying to discover every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product.
It provides a way to check the functionality of components, sub
assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product It is the process of
exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the Software system
meets its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an
unacceptable manner. There are various types of test. Each test type
addresses a specific testing requirement.

5.1.2Unit testing
Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the
internal program logic is functioning properly, and that program inputs
produce valid outputs. All decision branches and internal code flow
should be validated. It is the testing of individual software units of the
application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit before
integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its
construction and is invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component
level and test a specific business process, application, and/or system
configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path of a business
process performs accurately to the documented specifications and
contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.
5.1.3Integration testing
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to
determine if they actually run as one program. Testing is event driven
and is more concerned with the basic outcome of screens or fields.
Integration tests demonstrate that although the components were
individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the
combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration testing
is specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the
combination of components.

5.1.4Functional test
Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested
are available as specified by the business and technical requirements,
system documentation, and user manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be accepted.
Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.
Functions : identified functions must be exercised.
Output : identified classes of application outputs must be
exercised.
Systems/Procedures : interfacing systems or procedures must be
invoked.
Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused
on requirements, key functions, or special test cases. In addition,
systematic coverage pertaining to identify Business process flows; data
fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be
considered for testing. Before functional testing is complete, additional
tests are identified and the effective value of current tests is determined.
5.1.5 System Test
System testing ensures that the entire integrated software
system meets requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known and
predictable results. An example of system testing is the configuration
oriented system integration test. System testing is based on process
descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process links and
integration points.
5.1.6 White Box Testing
White Box Testing is a testing in which in which the
software tester has knowledge of the inner workings, structure and
language of the software, or at least its purpose. It is purpose. It is used
to test areas that cannot be reached from a black box level.

5.1.7 Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is testing the software without any knowledge of the
inner workings, structure or language of the module being tested. Black
box tests, as most other kinds of tests, must be written from a definitive
source document, such as specification or requirements document, such
as specification or requirements document. It is a testing in which the
software under test is treated, as a black box .you cannot “see” into it.
The test provides inputs and responds to outputs without considering
how the software works.
Unit Testing
Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined
code and unit test phase of the software lifecycle, although it is not
uncommon for coding and unit testing to be conducted as two distinct
phases.

Test strategy
Field testing will be performed manually and functional tests will be
written in detail.
Test objectives
 All field entries must work properly.
 Pages must be activated from the identified link.
 The entry screen, messages and responses must not be delayed.

Features to be tested
 Verify that the entries are of the correct format
 No duplicate entries should be allowed
 All links should take the user to the correct page.

5.1.8 Integration Testing

Software integration testing is the incremental integration
testing of two or more integrated software components on a single
platform to produce failures caused by interface defects.
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software
applications, e.g. components in a software system or – one step up –
software applications at the company level – interact without error.
Test Results:All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No
defects encountered.
Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires
significant participation by the end user. It also ensures that the system
meets the functional requirements.
Test Results:All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No
defects encountered.

RESULTS SCREENSHOTS:
CHAPTER-7:
CONCLUSION:

In this project, the survey of different algorithms and classifications are

analyzed followed by the detection of stone present in the kidney. From this
implementation, the existing system limitations are inferred and a new design is
proposed to address the limitations such as level set techniques require
considerable thought in order to construct velocities to get a perfect advanced
level set function. This means there should be a huge data available to get the
accuracy rate which is sometimes may not be possible. We planned to rectify
these issues using CNN classification. The energy levels extracted from the
wavelet subbands i.e., Daubechies, Symlets and biorthogonal filters gives the
clear indication of difference in the energy levels compared to that of normal
kidney image if there is stone. The CNN trained with normal kidney image and
classified input into normalor abnormal by considering extracted energy levels
from wavelet filters. By using CNN classification we obtained an accuracy in
between 70-85%. Python above 3.6 was used to implement and pycharm
software tool was used.
