Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the value of extraction of tumor features in contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) images based on the deep belief networks (DBN) for the diagnosis of cervical cancer patients and realize the intelligent evaluation on effects of diagnosis and chemotherapy of the cervical cancer. An automatic extraction algorithm with the time-intensity curve (TIC) was proposed based on Sparse nonnegative matrix factorization (SNMF) in this study, and was applied to the framework of automatic analysis of cervical cancer tumors based on the deep belief networks, to assist doctors in the analysis of cervical cancer tumors. The framework was applied to the real clinical diagnostic data, and the feasibility of the method was verified by comparing the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Later, the parameters of patients’ time to peak (TP), peak intensity (PI), mean transit time (MTT), and area under the curve (AUC) were obtained by drawing TICs, and the changes of p53 protein and ki-67 protein obtained by pathological section staining were analyzed to evaluate the therapeutic effect in the patients. It was found that the proposed model of tumor feature extraction based on the DBN had the higher accuracy (86.36%), sensitivity (83.33%), and specificity (87.50%). The related parameters of TIC curve obtained based on SNMF showed that there was a significant difference in p53 content between tissues with different degrees of disease (p < 0.05), the PI of poorly differentiated tissues was significantly higher than that of those with high to medium differentiation (p < 0.05). In addition, PI and AUC of patients after chemotherapy were significantly lower than that before chemotherapy (p < 0.05), while MTT was significantly higher than that before chemotherapy (p < 0.05). Therefore, the proposed TIC feature extraction of CEUS images based on SNMF and the automatic tumor classification based on deep learning can be used in the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of cervical cancer patients.
