An important feature of image analysis is texture, seen in all images, from aerial and satellite images to microscopic images in biomedical research. A chest X-ray is the most common and effective method for diagnosing severe lung diseases such as cancer, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. The lungs are the largest X-ray object. The correct separation of the shapes and sizes of the contours of the lungs is an important reason for diagnosis, because of which an intelligent information environment can be created. Despite the use of X-rays, to identify the diagnosis, there is a chance that the disease will not be detected. In this sense, there is a risk of development, which may be fatal. The article deals with the problems of pneumonia clustering using the autocorrelation function to obtain the most accurate result. This provides a reliable tool for diagnosing lung radiographs. Image pre-processing and data shaping play an important role in revealing a well-functioning basis of the nervous system. Therefore, images from two classes were selected for the task: healthy and with pneumonia. This paper demonstrates the applicability of the autocorrelation function for highlighting interest in lung radiographs based on the fineness of textural features and k-means extraction.

Currently, the detection of pathology of lung cavities and their digitalization is one of the urgent problems of the healthcare industry in Kazakhstan. In this paper, the method of fractal analysis was considered to solve the task set. Diagnosis of lung pathology based on fractal analysis is an actively developing area of medical research. Conducted experiments on a set of clinical data confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results obtained show that fractal analysis can be a useful tool for early detection of lung pathologies. It allows you to detect even minor changes in the structure and texture of lung tissues, which may not be obvious during visual analysis. The article deals with images of pathology of the pulmonary cavity, taken from an open data source. Based on the analysis of fractal objects, they were pre-assembled. Software algorithms for the operation of the information system for screening diagnostics have been developed. Based on the information contained in the fractal image of the lungs, mathematical models have been developed to create a diagnostic rule. A reference set of information features has been created that allows you to create algorithms for diagnosing the lungs: healthy and with pathologies of tuberculosis.

This article is devoted to the research and development of methods for classifying pathologies on digital chest radiographs using two different machine learning approaches: the eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm and the deep convolutional neural network residual network (ResNet50). The goal of the study is to develop effective and accurate methods for automatically classifying various pathologies detected on chest X-rays. The study collected an extensive dataset of digital chest radiographs, including a variety of clinical cases and different classes of pathology. Developed and trained machine learning models based on the XGBoost algorithm and the ResNet50 convolutional neural network using pre-processed images. The performance and accuracy of both models were assessed on test data using quality metrics and a comparative analysis of the results was carried out. The expected results of the article are high accuracy and reliability of methods for classifying pathologies on chest radiographs, as well as an understanding of their effectiveness in the context of clinical practice. These results may have significant implications for improving the diagnosis and care of patients with chest diseases, as well as promoting the development of automated decision support systems in radiology.

The relevance of the topic, in particular, if to take one of the information flows, whether it is the action of a human factor or a specific object, then it is true that special processing of the machine learning language and automatic information output significantly optimize human life. With the help of neural networks and their chest radiography is one of the most accessible radiological studies for screening and diagnosis of many lung diseases a special machine learning language is to study the flow of information about it and the same object in real time using neural networks. The article describes the terminology of the problem of X-ray recognition using machine learning methods and algorithms, examines the relevance of the problem, and analyzes the current state of the problem in the field of X-ray recognition. The aspects of the problem being solved, identified during the analysis, in the form of solved problems, approaches, methods, information technologies used, tools and software solutions to the problem are noted The paper is devoted to the description of a modified method of fuzzy clustering of halftone images, which at each iteration performs a dynamic transformation of the source data based on a singular decomposition with automatic selection of the most significant columns of the matrix of left singular vectors. The results of experimental studies were obtained by processing X-ray images. As a result of testing a neural network model, in the output layer of which a sigmoidal activation function was used to activate neurons, and an algorithm was used as an optimization method, the best values of accuracy and completeness were obtained: accuracy – 94.2 During testing, the neural network showed an accuracy of pneumonia recognition equal to 94,27 %
This paper presents a reproducible system innovation for processing Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) mammography images based on pixel-monotonic dynamic range management and engineering-verifiable intensity transformations. Standard DICOM conversion schemes to 8-bit representation often result in irreversible luminance-range compression, locality-dependent contrast distortions, and reduced robustness of deep learning models. The proposed framework preserves the physical consistency of the Modality LUT and photometric polarity, performs breast-aware robust Winsor normalization, and applies strictly monotonic global tone mapping while preserving the 16-bit depth of the training data. System validation was performed using architecture-independent metrics. Compared to standard processing, the median value of normalized mutual information increased from 0.878 to 0.892, the effective number of bits increased from 7.88 to 10.11 (+2.25), the representation entropy increased by 1.42 bits, and the clipping rate was reduced to almost zero. Experiments with the Faster R-CNN detector showed stable or improved calcification localization at Intersection over Union (IoU) ≥ 0.5 under controlled augmentation conditions. The results confirm that pixel-monotonic dynamic range control provides a reproducible, engineering-verifiable basis for AI-based mammography analysis within the evaluated dataset and experimental setting.
