Optimized convolutional neural network model for multilevel classification in leukemia diagnosis using Tversky loss

Leukemia diagnosis traditionally depends on time-intensive examination of blood cell morphology, a process prone to human error. To address these challenges, this study explores the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) optimized with the Tversky loss function for automated, multilevel image classification in leukemia diagnostics. The model was designed to tackle binary classification for distinguishing normal from abnormal cells, and multiclass classification for identifying leukemia subtypes, while addressing the challenges of imbalanced datasets inherent in medical imaging. Trained on publicly available leukemia image datasets, the CNN achieved high accuracy in both tasks, effectively capturing subtle morphological variations critical for precise diagnosis. By incorporating performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall, the study highlights the model’s reliability and robustness across classification tasks. The findings underscore the potential of CNN-based tools in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, paving the way for future innovations in leukemia diagnostics and broader medical imaging applications.
