Comparative analysis of the DCNN and HFCNN Based Computerized detection of liver cancer.

Liver cancer detection is critically important in the discipline of biomedical image testing and diagnosis. Researchers have explored numerous machine learning (ML) techniques and deep learning (DL) approaches aimed at the automated recognition of liver disease by analysing computed tomography (CT) images. This study compares two frameworks, Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) and Hierarchical Fusion Convolutional Neural Networks (HFCNN), to assess their effectiveness in liver cancer segmentation. The contribution includes enhancing the edges and textures of CT images through filtering to achieve precise liver segmentation. Additionally, an existing DL framework was employed for liver cancer detection and segmentation. The strengths of this paper include a clear emphasis on the criticality of liver cancer detection in biomedical imaging and diagnostics. It also highlights the challenges associated with CT image detection and segmentation and provides a comprehensive summary of recent literature. However, certain difficulties arise during the detection process in CT images due to overlapping structures, such as bile ducts, blood vessels, image noise, textural changes, size and location variations, and inherent heterogeneity. These factors may lead to segmentation errors and subsequently different analyses. This research analysis compares two advanced methodologies, DCNN and HFCNN, for liver cancer detection. The evaluation of DCNN and HFCNN in liver cancer detection is conducted using multiple performance metrics, including precision, F1-score, recall, and accuracy. This comprehensive assessment provides a detailed evaluation of these models' effectiveness compared to other state-of-the-art methods in identifying liver cancer.
