A2M-LEUK: attention-augmented algorithm for blood cancer detection in children.

Leukemia is a malignancy that affects the blood and bone marrow. Its detection and classification are conventionally done through labor-intensive and specialized methods. The diagnosis of blood cancer in children is a critical task that requires high precision and accuracy. This study proposes a novel approach utilizing attention mechanism-based machine learning in conjunction with image processing techniques for the precise detection and classification of leukemia cells. The proposed attention-augmented algorithm for blood cancer detection in children (A2M-LEUK) is an innovative algorithm that leverages attention mechanisms to improve the detection of blood cancer in children. A2M-LEUK was evaluated on a dataset of blood cell images and achieved remarkable performance metrics: Precision = 99.97%, Recall = 100.00%, F1-score = 99.98%, and Accuracy = 99.98%. These results indicate the high accuracy and sensitivity of the proposed approach in identifying and categorizing leukemia, and its potential to reduce the workload of medical professionals and improve the diagnosis of leukemia. The proposed method provides a promising approach for accurate and efficient detection and classification of leukemia cells, which could potentially improve the diagnosis and treatment of leukemia. Overall, A2M-LEUK improves the diagnosis of leukemia in children and reduces the workload of medical professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
