Item Automated Fracture Detection in the Ulna and Radius Using Deep Learning on Upper Extremity Radiographs(2023) Erdas, Cagatay Berke; 0000-0003-3467-9923; 37750264Objectives: This study aimed to detect single or multiple fractures in the ulna or radius using deep learning techniques fed on upper-extremity radiographs. Materials and methods: The data set used in the retrospective study consisted of different types of upper extremity radiographs obtained from an open-source dataset, with 4,480 images with fractures and 4,383 images without fractures. All fractures involved the ulna or radius. The proposed method comprises two distinct stages. The initial phase, referred to as preprocessing, involved the removal of radiographic backgrounds, followed by the elimination of nonbone tissue. In the second phase, images consisting only of bone tissue were processed using deep learning models, such as RegNetX006, EfficientNet B0, and InceptionResNetV2. Thus, whether one or more fractures of the ulna or the radius are present was determined. To measure the performance of the proposed method, raw images, images generated by background deletion, and bone tissue removal were classified separately using RegNetX006, EfficientNet B0, and InceptionResNetV2 models. Performance was assessed by accuracy, F1 score, Matthew's correlation coefficient, receiver operating characteristic area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and precision using 10-fold cross-validation, which is a widely accepted technique in statistical analysis. Results: The best classification performance was obtained with the proposed preprocessing and RegNetX006 architecture. The values obtained for various metrics were as follows: accuracy (0.9921), F1 score (0.9918), Matthew's correlation coefficient (0.9842), area under the curve (0.9918), sensitivity (0.9974), specificity (0.9863), and precision (0.9923). Conclusion: The proposed preprocessing method is able to detect fractures of the ulna and radius by artificial intelligence.Item Parkinson's Disease Monitoring from Gait Analysis via Foot-Worn Sensors(2018) Asuroglu, Tunc; Acici, Koray; Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Toprak, Munire Kilinc; Erdem, Hamit; Ogul, Hasan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3821-6419; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7979-0276; AAC-7834-2020; HDM-9910-2022; AAJ-8674-2021Background: In Parkinson's disease (PD), neuronal loss in the substantia nigra ultimate in dopaminergic denervation of the stiratum is followed by disarraying of the movements' preciseness, automatism, and agility. Hence, the seminal sign of PD is a change in motor performance of affected individuals. As PD is a neurodegenerative disease, progression of disability in mobility is an inevitable consequence. Indeed, the major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with PD is the motor changes restricting their functional independence. Therefore, monitoring the manifestations of the disease is crucial to detect any worsening of symptoms timely, in order to maintain and improve the quality of life of these patients. Aim: The changes in motion of patients with PD can be ascertained by the help of wearable sensors attached to the limbs of subjects. Then analysing the recorded data for variation of signals would make it possible to figure an individualized profile of the disease. Advancement of such tools would improve understanding of the disease evolution in the long term and simplify the detection of precipitous changes in gait on a daily basis in the short term. In both cases the apperception of such events would contribute to improve the clinical decision making process with reliable data. To this end, we offer here a computational solution for effective monitoring of PD patients from gait analysis via multiple foot-worn sensors. Methods: We introduce a supervised model that is fed by ground reaction force (GRF) signals acquired from these gait sensors. We offer a hybrid model, called Locally Weighted Random Forest (LWRF), for regression analysis over the numerical features extracted from input signals to predict the severity of PD symptoms in terms of Universal Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale. From GRF signals sixteen time-domain features and seven frequency-domain features were extracted and used. Results and conclusion: An experimental analysis conducted on a real data acquired from PD patients and healthy controls has shown that the predictions are highly correlated with the clinical annotations. Proposed approach for severity detection has the best correlation coefficient (CC), mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) values with 0.895, 4.462 and 7.382 respectively in terms of UPDRS. The regression results for H&Y Scale discerns that proposed model outperforms other models with CC, MAE and RMSE with values 0.960, 0.168 and 0.306 respectively. In classification setup, proposed approach achieves higher accuracy in comparison with other studies with accuracy and specificity of 99.0% and 99.5% respectively. Main novelty of this approach is the fact that an exact value of the symptom level can be inferred rather than a categorical result that defines the severity of motor disorders.

Intelligent use of wireless sensors is a major issue in relevant computational studies to realize these concepts in practice. While there has been a growing interest in recognizing daily activities of patients through wearable sensors, the efforts towards utilizing the streaming data from these sensors for clinical practices are limited. Here, we present a practical application of clinical data mining from wearable sensors with a particular objective of diagnosing Parkinson's Disease from gait analysis through a sets of ground reaction force (GRF) sensors worn under the foots. We introduce a supervised learning method based on Random Forests that analyze the multi-sensor data to classify the person wearing these sensors. We offer to extract a set of time-domain and frequency-domain features that would be effective in distinguishing normal and diseased people from their gait signals. The experimental results on a benchmark dataset have shown that proposed method can significantly outperform the previous methods reported in the literature.Item Texture of Activities: Exploiting Local Binary Patterns for Accelerometer Data Analysis(2016) Asuroglu, Tunc; Acici, Koray; Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Ogul, Hasan; 0000-0003-4153-0764; 0000-0002-3821-6419; 0000-0003-3467-9923; AAC-7834-2020; HDM-9910-2022Recognition of activities through wearable sensors such as accelerometers is a recent challenge in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The problem is often considered as a classification task where a set of descriptive features are extracted from input signal to feed a machine learning classifier. A major issue ignored so far in these studies is the incorporation of locally embedded features that could indeed be informative in describing the main activity performed by the individual being experimented. To close this gap, we offer here adapting Local Binary Pattern (LBP) approach, which is frequently used in identifying textures in images, in one-dimensional space of accelerometer data. To this end, we exploit the histogram of LPB found in each axes of input accelerometer signal as a feature set to feed a k-Nearest Neighbor classifier. The experiments on a benchmark dataset have shown that the proposed method can outperform some previous methods.Item CNN-Based Severity Prediction Of Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Gait Data(2022) Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Sumer, Emre; Kibaroglu, Seda; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3467-9923; 35111334; AGA-5711-2022Neurodegenerative diseases occur because of degeneration in brain cells but can manifest as impairment of motor functions. One of the side effects of this impairment is an abnormality in walking. With the development of sensor technologies and artificial intelligence applications in recent years, the disease severity of patients can be estimated using their gait data. In this way, decision support applications for grading the severity of the disease that the patient suffers in the clinic can be developed. Thus, patients can have treatment methods more suitable for the severity of the disease. The presented research proposes a deep learning-based approach using gait data represented by a Quick Response code to develop an effective and reliable disease severity grading system for neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The two-dimensional Quick Response data set was created by converting each one-dimensional gait data of the subjects with a novel representation approach to a Quick Response code. This data set was regressed with the convolutional neural network deep learning method, and a solution was sought for the problem of grading disease severity. Further, to demonstrate the success of the results obtained with the novel approach, native machine learning approaches such as Multilayer Perceptron, Random Forest, Extremely Randomized Trees, and K-Nearest Neighbours, and ensemble machine learning methods, such as voting and stacking, were applied on one-dimensional data. Finally, the results obtained on the prediction of disease severity by testing one-dimensional gait data with a convolutional neural network architecture that operates on one-dimensional data were included. The results showed that, in most cases, the two-dimensional convolutional neural network approach performed the best among all methods.Item Human Activity Recognition by Using Different Deep Learning Approaches for Wearable Sensors(2021) Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Guney, Selda; 0000-0003-3467-9923With the spread of wearable sensors, the solutions to the task of activity recognition by using the data obtained from the sensors have become widespread. Recognition of activities owing to wearable sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, etc. has been studied in recent years. Although there are several applications in the literature, differently in this study, deep learning algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks, Convolutional LSTM, and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks fed by Convolutional LSTM have been used in human activity recognition task by feeding with data obtained from accelerometer sensor. For this purpose, a frame was formed with raw samples of the same activity which were collected consecutively from the accelerometer sensor. Thus, it is aimed to capture the pattern inherent in the activity and due to preserving the continuous structure of the movement.Item Neurodegenerative disease detection and severity prediction using deep learning approaches(2021) Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Sumer, Emre; Kibaroglu, Seda; 0000-0002-3964-268X; AAJ-2956-2021; AGA-5711-2022Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), and Parkinson's disease (PD) can manifest themselves anatomically by degeneration in the brain as well as motor symptoms. The motor symptoms can affect walking dynamics in a disease-specific fashion; characteristically they disrupt gait. As the severity of the disease increases, walking ability deteriorates. We examined the effect of NDDs such as ALS, HD, and PD on gait and developed a convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) and threedimensional convolutional learning network (3D CNN)-based approach to detecting neurodegenerative conditions and predicting disease severity.
