Existing classification methods for myositis ultrasound images have problems of poor classification performance or high computational cost.Motivated by this difficulty,a lightweight neural network based on a soft threshold attention mechanism is proposed to cater for a better IIMs classification.The proposed network was constructed by alternately using depthwise separable convolution(DSC)and conventional convolution(CConv).Moreover,a soft threshold attention mechanism was leveraged to enhance the extraction capabilities of key features.Compared with the current dual-branch feature fusion myositis classification network with the highest classification accuracy,the classification accuracy of the network proposed in this paper increased by 5.9％,reaching 96.1％,and its computational complexity was only 0.25％of the existing method.The obtained results support that the proposed method can provide physicians with more accurate classification results at a lower computational cost,thereby greatly assisting them in their clinical diagnosis.
