RETRACTED ARTICLE: Parkinson’s disease detection using modified ResNeXt deep learning model from brain MRI images

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common degenerative conditions that affect people aged 60 and older. The illness is normally diagnosed by clinical indicators that develop as a variety of movement symptoms and medical observations. Conventional diagnostic methods, on the other hand, rely on the detection of small motions, which are notoriously difficult to pin down with absolute precision. This makes it possible for these methods to lend themselves to subjective interpretations. This is because traditional diagnostic methods rely on the interpretation of motions. Image categorization is performed using an altered version of the ResNeXt model in the proposed model. The proposed ResNeXt extends version of ResNet architecture by introducing a new block called the “cardinality block.” The cardinality block consists of multiple parallel branches, each with its own set of convolutional layers. These branches are then combined by concatenation before being passed to the next layer. The key idea behind the cardinality block is to increase the capacity of the network without significantly increasing the number of parameters. By using parallel branches with different filter sizes, ResNeXt is able to capture a wider range of features in the input image, leading to better performance on image classification tasks. In order to enhance the performance of the standard ResNeXt model, certain extra dense and dropout layers have been included. The size of the final model is reduced by pruning the model in order to improve the efficiency of the network connections and minimize the overall size of the model. The proposed method is compared to a number of deep learning models that are already in use, and it is shown that the acquired results are superior to those of the deep learning models that are already in use.
