ABSTRACT
Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) plays a fundamental role in the
classification and staging of liver infections. But the most popular technologies 3D-US
and 3D-CT make the identification process more accurate. In this paper among the two
technologies that give more accurate results are analyzed. In the proposed method Gray
Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) is used for extracting the features. Region-based
segmentation technique is used to segment the affected parts.3D-CNN is used for the
staging and classification of Liver 3D-CT and 3D-US Images separately. The results
are then analyzed and found that 3D-CT gives higher accuracy than 3D-US. The
proposed model is implemented using TensorFlow and Keras of python.
Keywords: Liver 3D CT Image, Liver 3D US Image, GLRLM, SVM.

1. INTRODUCTION
The liver is a vital organ found on the right side of the abdomen. The liver, which weighs about
3 pounds, is reddish-brown and feels rubbery towards touch. Usually the liver cannot feelsince
it is shelteredusing the rib cage. Chronic liver disease (CLD) is animportantreason of death at
evolved countries.The initial stage is chronic hepatitis. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus. It
causes serious inflammation in the liver. It affects the people mostly from 20 to 60 age group.
The severity of this stage leads to compensated cirrhosis. In this stage, cells degenerate and
inflammation. The fibrous thickening also happened due to viral hepatitis and alcoholism. This
stage is mostly asymptomatic so it remains unsusceptible till the later stage. The later stage is
called decompensated cirrhosis, which has severe symptoms. The symptoms include Ascites,
Jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding, thrombocytopenia, and hepatic encephalopathy. This leads
to death or hepatocellular carcinoma. The process of diagnosis of CHD is done by clinical data,
invasive method, and noninvasive method. The invasive method is preferred for more accurate
classification. This method includes surgery and biopsy. Though the invasive method gives the

best result, it involves more complications for some patients. The complication includes
bleeding after biopsy, post-operative problem, pneumothorax, and puncture of the biliary tree.In
the noninvasive methods, images generated by ultrasound, CT, and MRI are used. Medical
image processing plays a major role in the noninvasive method.
Many studies solve this issue, using objective features depending upon US and CT images
with classification procedures to the study of CLD. The general features are defined in terms of
first-order statistic, parallel event matrix, bandwidth change, attenuation, backscattering
parameters, coefficients. SVM and RF classifiers are utilized in the binary classification with
basic CNN neural networks, described on a local basis, integrated into ultrasound and CT image
to presentlocal evidence for adisease

such arrays. This is an essential package of scientific computing and Python. It has several
features. In addition to their clear scientific usage, NumPy could be utilized into a proficient
generic data multiple-dimensional container. Arbitrary data-types could determine utilizing
Numpy that permits NumPy to flawlessly and rapidly incorporate to different types of
databases. SciPy represents open-source software of maths, science, engineering. The library
of SciPy is depending upon NumPy that presents appropriate as well as rapid N-dimensional
array exploitation.
2. RELATED WORKS
This manuscript focuses on the analysis of features removed by applying wave packet
transformation for B-mode ultrasound liver imaging. [1].

This paper summarizes the innovative system for non-invasive, cuff-less, continuous
measurement of blood pressure assessment within patients through NAFLD (non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease) [2].
It defines the unhealthy conditions that are noticed, the effects of three hierarchical
anomalies: 1) chronic hepatitis; 2) compensatory cirrhosis and 3) degenerative cirrhosis. The
characteristics as well as classifiers are applied (Bayes, Parzen, support vector machine and k
nearest neighbor). [3].
This paper examines the diagnostic value of such systems on patients through suspected but
without a definitive diagnosis of cirrhosis. Together transient elastography (TE) and left lobe
liver surface ultrasound (LLS) can detect cirrhosis non-invasively. [4]
This paper discusses the classification of chronic liver disease, a semi-automatic process, to
stabilize that disease depends on liver ultrasound images, medical and laboratory data, using
two classifiers at the center of the algorithm (SVM-Support Vector Machine) (KNN -K-Nearest
neighbor). Classifiers are trained with a multimodal feature test. [5]
The Bayesian classifier is awell-organizedsystem utilized to recover the segmentation of
medical images. To remove background noise from images, the images need to be pre-
processed. After the preprocessing scheme, a Bayesian classifier is employed to classify the
particles on image. [6].
The classification approach is performed using the classifier such as Neural Network. The
classification strategy for liver disease based on the USG of the liver has been established. The
input image undertakes to preprocess that includes Contrast Enhancement, Discrete wavelet
transform, and Segmentation using KNNclassifier [7]
This paper revised various feature extraction techniques. This method employs the Artificial
Neural Network (ANN) forremoving the feature on multiple layers. [8]
To progress for the Image Segmentation process the paper addresses some of the most vital
techniques and represents a survey on them.[9]
The paper presents the current dissimilar segmentation scheme depends on medical images.
This manuscript focuses the work of dissimilar segmentation and classification systems
suggested for the diagnosisof diverse liver diseases [10]. In this paper, automated liver
segmentation by CT imaging remains an open issue as several weaknesses and disadvantages
of the suggested system mayremain be solved. [11]
To evolve an automatic liver segmentation methoddepends on basic knowledge of image,
like location and shape of liver. [12]
The K * methodmay be utilized in analytical tools or instruments to quickly diagnose
specific liver disorders [13]
This paper illustrates the deep learning technique through a convolutional neural network
(CNN) for differentiating liver masses in computed tomography (CT) improvedby dynamic
contrast agent. [14]
This paper identifies the first part as an adaptively weighted cross-entropy loss, which pays
more attention to misclassified pixels. The next part is an edge-preserved smoothness loss,
which assurances neighboring pixels with the same label have related outputs, while
neighboring pixels with different labels have dissimilar outputs. The third part of the loss is a
shape constraint used to model high-level structure differences. The paper shows the data
augmentation both in the training stage and the test stage [15]
This paper illustrates the neural network integrated to categorize liver tumors ashepatoma
and hemageoma. It is executed through modified probability neural network (PNN) in
combination with feature descriptions that are produced by fractal feature as well as gray-level

co-occurrence matrix. A suggested method was assessed via 30 liver cases and proved to be
competent and efficient. [16]
This paper compares the model, with pre-trained model, multi-layered and highly flexible
architectureUsinghe batch normalization to normalize the input layer by adjusting the
activations and to reduce overfitting; we have put the batch normalization before the input after
every layer and dropouts among fully-connected layers.The performance of classifiers is
evaluated by two widely-used measures Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), F1 – Score
(F1 Score is employed for measuring a test’s accuracy). [17]
This paper presents current various methods ofsegmentation based on medical liver images.
And also, this paperfocuses on the work of various segmentation and classificationmethods that
has been proposed to diagnosis many liver diseases [18]

3.3Image Preprocessing
A 3 × 3 × 3 median filter is used to smooth the images, demonstrated at Figure 3. The major
cause for applying median filtering is preprocessing phase of this mechanism is the median
filtering preserve the edge information inside the image in which media filters as well as
Gaussian filters tends for blurring the edges of image. This is the Median filter do not generate
idealistic innovative pixel values in case of filter window is placed above an edge.
The result of this system is the mean value or the mean value of pixel in which entire
intensity distribution values are found, outcoming at innovative image that equivalent the
existing mean values. The medium filter consists ofcapabilityfordecreasing noise on digital
images.

3.4 3D US and CT Liver Image Classification
In the Classification phase the segmentation is first executed using region-based method. Then
GLRLM [19] is implemented to extract the features. All the process is done for both the US
and CT images.
3.4.1 Region based segmentation
For the segmentation process, the 3D region growing method (3D painting algorithm) is used.
It fills entire voxels that consists of CT values minimum to provide threshold value to similar
color begins as provided starting point. This filled voxels equivalent with connected affected
region. This algorithm is executed in sequence, line-by-line mode beside axes on 3D space for
diminishing computation time. Begins in starting point which should be an internal Region of
Interest (ROI)[20] point, it investigates the adjacent onefordecidingthe CT values less than the
provided threshold value.

Classification using 3D-CNN
Two stages of classification is carried out. First stage predicts the image as normal or abnormal.
The second stage gets the abnormal image as input and predicts the four stages of Image (Fatty
Liver, compensated Cirrhosis, Decompensate Cirrhosis, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
3D CNN consists of convolution layers in which the first convolution layer contains 8
Filters size 7X7X7. Second convolution layer has 16 filters size 5X5X5 and the third convolution
layer has 32 filters size 3X3X3. Next to the convolution layers, pooling layer is placed that is
in charge todiminish the convolved features spatial size. In the proposed model Maxpool is
used. The kernel of 3X3X3is used to Maxpoolwhere maximal value of the part of the image
enclosedwith kernel is got.RelU activation function is performed in which the function outputs
the given input straightly if it is positive (> 0); or else, it will give an output of 0. A last layer
is a completelylinked layer that is used for classifying the stages of liver abnormalities. The
classifier is required after feature removal to locate the equivalent label of all test image. After
the layer is completelylinked, the Softmax activation is applied to obtain the stage
classification.It converts the value in the fully connected layer in to a probability distribution.

The examination shows the achievability of utilizing profound learning for the liver. In spite
of the fact that we utilized a little dataset containing images from certain patients, this
information was adequate to build up a well performing classifier with move learning. In
addition, the CNN-based methodology accomplished altogether preferred outcomes over the
GLRLM-basedmethodology. CNN features were helpful and empowered productive preparing
of the grouping and relapse models. Great execution of the CNN-based methodology was
expected. In our examination, we didn't prepare the system without any preparation; rather the

5. CONCLUSION
3D-US and CT images are used as higher dimensional images give more information than lower
dimensional images. 3D-CNN is used to classify liver disorders. The comparison of the
performance of 3D-CNN in US and CT images are carried out in this paper. The region growing
segmentation along with the features extracted through GLRLM Combined with 3D-CNN helps
to improve the prediction accuracy. The result and analysis show that 3D-CNN for CT images
give more accuracy than US images. We have used the python for coding and we used Keras
to build our CNN. For future work we need more data for getting higher accuracy result.

Bathsheba Parimala and R. S. Shanmugasundaram Vinayaka Mission Research Foundation, Deemed to be University, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) plays a fundamental role in the classification and staging of liver infections. But the most popular technologies 3D-US and 3D-CT make the identification process more accurate. In this paper among the two technologies that give more accurate results are analyzed. In the proposed method Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) is used for extracting the features. Region-based segmentation technique is used to segment the affected parts.3D-CNN is used for the staging and classification of Liver 3D-CT and 3D-US Images separately. The results are then analyzed and found that 3D-CT gives higher accuracy than 3D-US. The proposed model is implemented using TensorFlow and Keras of python. Keywords: Liver 3D CT Image, Liver 3D US Image, GLRLM, SVM. Cite this Article: A. Bathsheba Parimala and R. S.

INTRODUCTION The liver is a vital organ found on the right side of the abdomen. The liver, which weighs about 3 pounds, is reddish-brown and feels rubbery towards touch. Usually the liver cannot feelsince it is shelteredusing the rib cage. Chronic liver disease (CLD) is animportantreason of death at evolved countries.The initial stage is chronic hepatitis. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus. It causes serious inflammation in the liver. It affects the people mostly from 20 to 60 age group. The severity of this stage leads to compensated cirrhosis. In this stage, cells degenerate and inflammation. The fibrous thickening also happened due to viral hepatitis and alcoholism. This stage is mostly asymptomatic so it remains unsusceptible till the later stage. The later stage is called decompensated cirrhosis, which has severe symptoms. The symptoms include Ascites, Jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding, thrombocytopenia, and hepatic encephalopathy. This leads to death or hepatocellular carcinoma. The process of diagnosis of CHD is done by clinical data, invasive method, and noninvasive method. The invasive method is preferred for more accurate classification. This method includes surgery and biopsy. Though the invasive method gives the

The complication includes bleeding after biopsy, post-operative problem, pneumothorax, and puncture of the biliary tree.In the noninvasive methods, images generated by ultrasound, CT, and MRI are used. Medical image processing plays a major role in the noninvasive method. Many studies solve this issue, using objective features depending upon US and CT images with classification procedures to the study of CLD. The general features are defined in terms of first-order statistic, parallel event matrix, bandwidth change, attenuation, backscattering parameters, coefficients. SVM and RF classifiers are utilized in the binary classification with basic CNN neural networks, described on a local basis, integrated into ultrasound and CT image to presentlocal evidence for adisease Figure 1 3D Ultra Sound Liver and CT Liver Image The proposed strategies incorporate division, and Region of Interest depend element extraction, division, using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLRLM) and CNN classifier calculation, then we can investigate the variation from the norm and help the indicative apparatus strong to recognize the fluctuation in liver tumor injuries. DICOM formatare used to represents the medical images. They are highly informative. Along with image data it stores lots of key patient information, such as, patient’s name, age, sex, doctor’s name etc. When need to install pydicom python package, using ‘pip install pydicom’. It is better development to the standard Python prompt, then it ties particularly Matplotlib. IPython begins directly from shell, or JupyterNotebook.WhenIPython begins, require to attach with graphical user interface event loop. It specifies IPython to show the layers. To join graphical user interface loop, implement %matplotlib magic in IPython instigate. IPython's record on graphical user interface event loops has more information about what it does. It turns in inline plot, where plot graphics can show the notebook. It contains significant indications of interaction. To in-line plot, instructions in the cells underneath the output of cell do not influence the plot i.e. change the coloring map does not feasible from cells under the cell that makes the plot. Nevertheless, to different back- ends, like tensorflow that open an isolate window, the cells that make up this plot alter this plot - which has been the direct entity on memory. NumPy has been common array-processing package. It presents higher-efficiency multi-dimensional array object, then tools to task along such arrays. This is an essential package of scientific computing and Python. It has several features. In addition to their clear scientific usage, NumPy could be utilized into a proficient generic data multiple-dimensional container. Arbitrary data-types could determine utilizing Numpy that permits NumPy to flawlessly and rapidly incorporate to different types of databases. SciPy represents open-source software of maths, science, engineering. The library of SciPy is depending upon NumPy that presents appropriate as well as rapid N-dimensional array exploitation. 2. RELATED WORKS This manuscript focuses on the analysis of features removed by applying wave packet transformation for B-mode ultrasound liver imaging. [1].

Shanmugasundaram http://www.iaeme.com/IJEET/index.asp 173 editor@iaeme.com This paper summarizes the innovative system for non-invasive, cuff-less, continuous measurement of blood pressure assessment within patients through NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) [2]. It defines the unhealthy conditions that are noticed, the effects of three hierarchical anomalies: 1) chronic hepatitis; 2) compensatory cirrhosis and 3) degenerative cirrhosis. The characteristics as well as classifiers are applied (Bayes, Parzen, support vector machine and k nearest neighbor). [3]. This paper examines the diagnostic value of such systems on patients through suspected but without a definitive diagnosis of cirrhosis. Together transient elastography (TE) and left lobe liver surface ultrasound (LLS) can detect cirrhosis non-invasively. [4] This paper discusses the classification of chronic liver disease, a semi-automatic process, to stabilize that disease depends on liver ultrasound images, medical and laboratory data, using two classifiers at the center of the algorithm (SVM-Support Vector Machine) (KNN -K-Nearest neighbor). Classifiers are trained with a multimodal feature test. [5] The Bayesian classifier is awell-organizedsystem utilized to recover the segmentation of medical images. To remove background noise from images, the images need to be pre- processed. After the preprocessing scheme, a Bayesian classifier is employed to classify the particles on image. [6]. The classification approach is performed using the classifier such as Neural Network. The classification strategy for liver disease based on the USG of the liver has been established. The input image undertakes to preprocess that includes Contrast Enhancement, Discrete wavelet transform, and Segmentation using KNNclassifier [7] This paper revised various feature extraction techniques. This method employs the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) forremoving the feature on multiple layers. [8] To progress for the Image Segmentation process the paper addresses some of the most vital techniques and represents a survey on them.[9] The paper presents the current dissimilar segmentation scheme depends on medical images. This manuscript focuses the work of dissimilar segmentation and classification systems suggested for the diagnosisof diverse liver diseases [10]. In this paper, automated liver segmentation by CT imaging remains an open issue as several weaknesses and disadvantages of the suggested system mayremain be solved. [11] To evolve an automatic liver segmentation methoddepends on basic knowledge of image, like location and shape of liver. [12] The K * methodmay be utilized in analytical tools or instruments to quickly diagnose specific liver disorders [13] This paper illustrates the deep learning technique through a convolutional neural network (CNN) for differentiating liver masses in computed tomography (CT) improvedby dynamic contrast agent. [14] This paper identifies the first part as an adaptively weighted cross-entropy loss, which pays more attention to misclassified pixels. The next part is an edge-preserved smoothness loss, which assurances neighboring pixels with the same label have related outputs, while neighboring pixels with different labels have dissimilar outputs. The third part of the loss is a shape constraint used to model high-level structure differences. The paper shows the data augmentation both in the training stage and the test stage [15] This paper illustrates the neural network integrated to categorize liver tumors ashepatoma and hemageoma. It is executed through modified probability neural network (PNN) in combination with feature descriptions that are produced by fractal feature as well as gray-level

A suggested method was assessed via 30 liver cases and proved to be competent and efficient. [16] This paper compares the model, with pre-trained model, multi-layered and highly flexible architectureUsinghe batch normalization to normalize the input layer by adjusting the activations and to reduce overfitting; we have put the batch normalization before the input after every layer and dropouts among fully-connected layers.The performance of classifiers is evaluated by two widely-used measures Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), F1 – Score (F1 Score is employed for measuring a test’s accuracy).

And also, this paperfocuses on the work of various segmentation and classificationmethods that has been proposed to diagnosis many liver diseases [18] 3. PROPOSED WORK 3.1.

The major cause for applying median filtering is preprocessing phase of this mechanism is the median filtering preserve the edge information inside the image in which media filters as well as Gaussian filters tends for blurring the edges of image. This is the Median filter do not generate idealistic innovative pixel values in case of filter window is placed above an edge. The result of this system is the mean value or the mean value of pixel in which entire intensity distribution values are found, outcoming at innovative image that equivalent the existing mean values.

Then GLRLM [19] is implemented to extract the features. All the process is done for both the US and CT images. 3.4.1 Region based segmentation For the segmentation process, the 3D region growing method (3D painting algorithm) is used. It fills entire voxels that consists of CT values minimum to provide threshold value to similar color begins as provided starting point. This filled voxels equivalent with connected affected region. This algorithm is executed in sequence, line-by-line mode beside axes on 3D space for diminishing computation time.

First stage predicts the image as normal or abnormal. The second stage gets the abnormal image as input and predicts the four stages of Image (Fatty Liver, compensated Cirrhosis, Decompensate Cirrhosis, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) 3D CNN consists of convolution layers in which the first convolution layer contains 8 Filters size 7X7X7. Second convolution layer has 16 filters size 5X5X5 and the third convolution layer has 32 filters size 3X3X3. Next to the convolution layers, pooling layer is placed that is in charge todiminish the convolved features spatial size. In the proposed model Maxpool is used. The kernel of 3X3X3is used to Maxpoolwhere maximal value of the part of the image enclosedwith kernel is got.RelU activation function is performed in which the function outputs the given input straightly if it is positive (> 0); or else, it will give an output of 0. A last layer is a completelylinked layer that is used for classifying the stages of liver abnormalities. The classifier is required after feature removal to locate the equivalent label of all test image. After the layer is completelylinked, the Softmax activation is applied to obtain the stage classification.It converts the value in the fully connected layer in to a probability distribution.

It is seen that precision of proposed model gave 94% for US images, 96% for CT images Figure 12 Metrics values Comparison Chart The examination shows the achievability of utilizing profound learning for the liver. In spite of the fact that we utilized a little dataset containing images from certain patients, this information was adequate to build up a well performing classifier with move learning. In addition, the CNN-based methodology accomplished altogether preferred outcomes over the GLRLM-basedmethodology. CNN features were helpful and empowered productive preparing of the grouping and relapse models. Great execution of the CNN-based methodology was expected. In our examination, we didn't prepare the system without any preparation; rather the pre-prepared CNN was utilized for include extraction. 0.92 0.93 0.94 0.95 0.96 0.97 0.98 0.99 (Sensitivity) Recall Precision F1 Score Comparison Chart 3D CNN For CT Image 3D-CNN for US Image

CONCLUSION 3D-US and CT images are used as higher dimensional images give more information than lower dimensional images. 3D-CNN is used to classify liver disorders. The comparison of the performance of 3D-CNN in US and CT images are carried out in this paper. The region growing segmentation along with the features extracted through GLRLM Combined with 3D-CNN helps to improve the prediction accuracy. The result and analysis show that 3D-CNN for CT images give more accuracy than US images. We have used the python for coding and we used Keras to build our CNN. For future work we need more data for getting higher accuracy result.
