Acquisition of high quality manual annotations is vital for the development of segmentation algorithms. However, to create them we require a substantial amount of expert time and knowledge. Large numbers of labels are required to train convolutional neural networks due to the vast number of parameters that must be learned in the optimisation process. Here, we develop the STAMP algorithm to allow the simultaneous training and pruning of a UNet architecture for medical image segmentation with targeted channelwise dropout to make the network robust to the pruning. We demonstrate the technique across segmentation tasks and imaging modalities. It is then shown that, through online pruning, we are able to train networks to have much higher performance than the equivalent standard UNet models while reducing their size by more than 85% in terms of parameters. This has the potential to allow networks to be directly trained on datasets where very low numbers of labels are available.

Pixel accurate 2-D, 3-D medical image segmentation to identify abnormalities for further analysis is on high demand for computer-aided medical imaging applications. Various segmentation algorithms have been studied and applied in medical imaging for many years, but the problem remains challenging due to growing a large number of variety of applications starting from lung disease diagnosis based on x-ray images, nucleus detection, and segmentation based on microscopic pictures to kidney tumour segmentation. The recent innovation in deep learning brought revolutionary advances in computer vision. Image segmentation is one such area where deep learning shows its capacity and improves the performance by a larger margin than its successor. This chapter overviews the most popular deep learning-based image segmentation techniques and discusses their capabilities and basic advantages and limitations in the domain of medical imaging.

Medical images have made a great effect on medicine, diagnosis, and treatment. The most important part of image processing is image segmentation. Medical Image Segmentation is the development of programmed or semi-automatic detection of limitations within a 2D or 3D image. In medical field, image segmentation is one of the vital steps in Image identification and Object recognition. Image segmentation is a method in which large data is partitioned into small amount of data. If the input MRI image is segmented then identifying the lump attacked region will be easier for physicians. In recent days, many algorithms are proposed for the image segmentation. In this paper, an analysis is made on various segmentation algorithms for medical images. Furthermore, a comparison of existing segmentation algorithms is also discussed along with the performance measure of each.
