Conference Object Citation Count: 1Deep Learning-Based COVID-19 Detection Using Lung Parenchyma CT Scans(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2022) Kurt, Zühal; Kurt, Zuhal; Koca, Nizameddin; Cicek, Sumeyye; Isik, Sahin; Computer EngineeringDuring the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to improve early diagnosis using effective ways in order to lower the risks and further spread of the viruses as early as possible. This is also important when it comes to appropriate treatments and the reduction of mortality rates. In this respect, computer tomography (CT) scanning is a useful technique in detecting COVID-19. The present paper, as such, is an attempt to contribute to this process by generating an open-source, CT-based image dataset. This dataset contains the CT scans of lung parenchyma regions of 180 COVID-19 positives and 86 COVID-19 negative patients, all from Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital. The experimental studies demonstrate that this dataset is effectively utilized deep learning-based models for diagnostic purposes. Firstly, a smart segmentation mechanism based on the k-means algorithm is applied to this dataset as a pre-processing stage. Then, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated using InceptionV3 and Xception convolutional neural networks, yielding a 96.20% and 96.55% accuracy rate and 95.00% and 95.50% F1-score, respectively. These state-of-the-art models are observed to detect COVID-19 cases faster and more accurately. In addition, the fine-tuning stage of the convolutional neural network (CNN) features sufficiently improves this accuracy rate. For these features, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used, resulting in remarkable 96.76% accuracy rate and 95.81% F1-score. The implications of the proposed method are immense both for present-day applications as well as future developments.Article Citation Count: 5Evaluation of EfficientNet models for COVID-19 detection using lung parenchyma(Springer London Ltd, 2023) Kurt, Zühal; Isik, Sahin; Kaya, Zeynep; Anagun, Yildiray; Koca, Nizameddin; Cicek, Suemeyye; Computer EngineeringWhen the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the beginning of 2020, it became crucial to enhance early diagnosis with efficient means to reduce dangers and future spread of the viruses as soon as possible. Finding effective treatments and lowering mortality rates is now more important than ever. Scanning with a computer tomography (CT) scanner is a helpful method for detecting COVID-19 in this regard. The present paper, as such, is an attempt to contribute to this process by generating an open-source, CT-based image dataset. This dataset contains the CT scans of lung parenchyma regions of 180 COVID-19-positive and 86 COVID-19-negative patients taken at the Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital. The experimental studies show that the modified EfficientNet-ap-nish method uses this dataset effectively for diagnostic purposes. Firstly, a smart segmentation mechanism based on the k-means algorithm is applied to this dataset as a preprocessing stage. Then, performance pretrained models are analyzed using different CNN architectures and with our Nish activation function. The statistical rates are obtained by the various EfficientNet models and the highest detection score is obtained with the EfficientNet-B4-ap-nish version, which provides a 97.93% accuracy rate and a 97.33% F1-score. The implications of the proposed method are immense both for present-day applications and future developments.Article Citation Count: 4Using deep learning approaches for coloring silicone maxillofacial prostheses: A comparison of two approaches(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Kurt, Zühal; Kurt, Zuhal; Isik, Sahin; Computer EngineeringAim: This study aimed to compare the performance of two deep learning algorithms, attention-based gated recurrent unit (GRU), and the artificial neural networks (ANNs) algorithm for coloring silicone maxillofacial prostheses. Settings and Design: This was an in vitro study. Materials and Methods: A total of 21 silicone samples in different colors were produced with four pigments (white, yellow, red, and blue). The color of the samples was measured with a spectrophotometer, then the LFNx01, aFNx01, and bFNx01 values were recorded. The relationship between the LFNx01, aFNx01, and bFNx01 values of each sample and the amount of each pigment in the compound of the same sample was used as the training dataset, entered into each algorithm, and the prediction models were obtained. While generating the prediction model for each sample, the data of the corresponding sample assigned as the target color were excluded. LFNx01, aFNx01, and bFNx01 values of each target sample were entered into the obtained models separately, and recipes indicating the ratios for mixing the four pigments were predicted. The mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values between the original recipe used in the production of each silicone and the recipe created by both prediction models for the same silicone were calculated. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed with the Student t-test (alpha=0.05). Results: The mean RMSE values and MAE values for the ANN algorithm (0.029 & PLUSMN; 0.0152 and 0.045 & PLUSMN; 0.0235, respectively) were found significantly higher than the attention-based GRU model (0.001 & PLUSMN; 0.0005 and 0.002 & PLUSMN; 0.0008, respectively) (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Attention-based GRU model provided better performance than the ANN algorithm with respect to the MAE and RMSE values.
