Abstract

To diagnose the liver diseases computed tomography images are used. Most of the time even experienced radiologists find it very tough to note the type, size, and severity of the tumor from computed tomography images due to various complexities involved around the liver. In recent years it is very much essential to develop a computer-assisted imaging technique to diagnose liver disease in turn which improves the diagnosis of a doctor. This paper explains a novel deep learning model for detecting a liver disease tumor and its classification. Tumor from computed tomography images has been classified between Metastasis and Cholangiocarcinoma. We demonstrate that our model predominantly performs very well concerning the accuracy, dice similarity coefficient, and specificity parameters compared to well-known existing algorithms, and adapts very well for different datasets. A dice similarity coefficient value of 98.59% indicates the supremacy of the model.
