Research Area: Machine Learning
Localization of region of interest (ROI) is paramount to the analysis of medical images to assist in the identification and detection of diseases. In this research, we explore the application of a deep learning approach in the analysis of some medical images. Traditional methods have been restricted due to the coarse and granulated appearance of most of these images. Recently, deep learning techniques have produced promising results in the segmentation of medical images for the diagnosis of diseases. This research experiments on medical images using a robust deep learning architecture based on the Fully Convolutional Network- (FCN-) UNET method for the segmentation of three samples of medical images such as skin lesion, retinal images, and brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. The proposed method can efficiently identify the ROI on these images to assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as skin cancer, eye defects and diabetes, and brain tumor. This system was evaluated on publicly available databases such as the International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) skin lesion images, retina images, and brain tumor datasets with over 90% accuracy and dice coefficient.
