BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lyme disease which is one of the most common infectious vector-borne diseases manifests itself in most cases with erythema migrans (EM) skin lesions. Recent studies show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) perform well to identify skin lesions from images. Lightweight CNN based pre-scanner applications for resource-constrained mobile devices can help users with early diagnosis of Lyme disease and prevent the transition to a severe late form thanks to appropriate antibiotic therapy. Also, resource-intensive CNN based robust computer applications can assist non-expert practitioners with an accurate diagnosis. The main objective of this study is to extensively analyze the effectiveness of CNNs for diagnosing Lyme disease from images and to find out the best CNN architectures considering resource constraints.
METHODS: First, we created an EM dataset with the help of expert dermatologists from Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital Center of France. Second, we benchmarked this dataset for twenty-three CNN architectures customized from VGG, ResNet, DenseNet, MobileNet, Xception, NASNet, and EfficientNet architectures in terms of predictive performance, computational complexity, and statistical significance. Third, to improve the performance of the CNNs, we used custom transfer learning from ImageNet pre-trained models as well as pre-trained the CNNs with the skin lesion dataset HAM10000. Fourth, for model explainability, we utilized Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping to visualize the regions of input that are significant to the CNNs for making predictions. Fifth, we provided guidelines for model selection based on predictive performance and computational complexity.
RESULTS: Customized ResNet50 architecture gave the best classification accuracy of 84.42% ±1.36, AUC of 0.9189±0.0115, precision of 83.1%±2.49, sensitivity of 87.93%±1.47, and specificity of 80.65%±3.59. A lightweight model customized from EfficientNetB0 also performed well with an accuracy of 83.13%±1.2, AUC of 0.9094±0.0129, precision of 82.83%±1.75, sensitivity of 85.21% ±3.91, and specificity of 80.89%±2.95. All the trained models are publicly available at https://dappem.limos.fr/download.html, which can be used by others for transfer learning and building pre-scanners for Lyme disease.
CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed the effectiveness of even some lightweight CNNs for building Lyme disease pre-scanner mobile applications to assist people with an initial self-assessment and referring them to expert dermatologist for further diagnosis.
