The paper presents a novel approach to medical image processing by combining an adaptive curve grey wolf optimization (ACGWO) algorithm with neural network backpropagation. Neural networks have shown promise in medical data analysis but are limited by issues such as overfitting and lack of interpretability due to imbalanced and scarce data. The traditional Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm also has its drawbacks, including a lack of population diversity and premature convergence. This paper addresses these problems by introducing an adaptive algorithm that enhances the standard GWO with a sigmoid function. The ACGWO algorithm was extensively compared to four leading algorithms using six well-known test functions, outperforming them effectively. Additionally, the use of ACGWO increases the robustness and generalization of the neural network, resulting in more interpretable predictions.

This paper solves some big problems in medical image processing by creating a new way to train neural networks. Neural networks are good at recognizing patterns in medical data, but they can get stuck if they don’t have enough training data or if the data is unevenly spread out. The old way of optimizing these networks had its own problems too. This paper makes things better by introducing a new algorithm that helps the network learn more effectively. It tested this new approach against four other ways to optimize neural networks and found it worked better every time. Plus, this method makes the predictions more understandable, which is important for doctors who need to make decisions based on the results.
