Annotation: The advent of smart healthcare demonstrates the rapid advancements in the information technology sector. This paradigm leverages cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize medical practices for enhanced efficiency, reliability, and personalization. Specifically, in cancer research, where accurate and timely diagnosis is critical, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems are crucial for assisting healthcare professionals in diagnosing lesions through detection, segmentation, and classification of medical imagery. Despite the progress, challenges such as low-contrast lesions, imbalanced datasets, overfitting in convolutional neural network (CNN) models, memory complexity, and redundant feature extraction persist. This dissertation proposed an integrated CAD model using a deep learning (DL) framework to address these issues in lesion detection, segmentation, and classification. This dissertation designed an AI system for the classification of different diseases using a hybrid method. A custom CNN architecture is developed for segmenting the lesion regions, followed by the modification and training of several pre-trained CNN models via transfer learning (TL) on the segmented images. Deep feature vectors extracted from these models are then combined using a convolutional sparse image decomposition fusion method. Ultimately, feature selection techniques are employed to identify and utilize the most informative features for classification, promising a more effective and accurate diagnostic process.
