My training notebooks utilizing Kaggle's free GPU.
Multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) scans, in DICOM format. The exact mpMRI scans included are:
Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) T1-weighted pre-contrast (T1w) T1-weighted post-contrast (T1Gd) T2-weighted (T2)
I explored the viability of using non-DL models in Medical Image Classification, in a field where much of the research is focused on DL models. This solution involves using a HOG descriptor to extract features and then training non-DL Classifier Models like LogisticRegression, RidgeClassifier, KNeighborsClassifier, DecisionTreeClassifier and a simple Linear Model to predict the classification.
I compared it with training on EfficientNet, a CNN DL model.
Solution involves an ensemle method where each EfficientNet model is trained on 1 MRI data type and the final prediction is averaged.
