Abstract With ever-progressing development period, image classification algorithms based on deep learning have shown good performance on some large datasets. In the development of classification algorithms, many proposals related to attention mechanism have greatly improved the accuracy of the model, and at the same time increased the interpretability of the network structure. However, on medical image data, the performance of the classification algorithm is not as expected, and the reason is that the fine-grained image data differs little among all classes, resulting that the knowledge domain is also hard to learn for models. We (1) proposed the Efficientnet model based on the cbam attention mechanism, and added a multi-scale fusion method; (2) applied the model to the breast cancer medical image data set, and completed the breast cancer classification task with high accuracy (Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, etc.); (3) Compared with other existing image classification algorithms, our method has the highest accuracy, thus the researchers conclude that EfficientNet with CBAM and multi-scale fusion will improve the classification performance. This result is helpful for deeper research on medical image processing and breast cancer staging.

Recently, image processing techniques are widely used in several medical areas for image improvement in earlier detection and treatment stages of diseases. Medical informatics is the study that combines two medical data sources: biomedical record and imaging data. Medical image data is formed by pixels that correspond to a part of a physical object and produced by imaging modalities. discovery of medical image data methods is a challenge in the sense of getting their insight value, analyzing and diagnosing of a specific disease. Image classification plays an important role in computer-aided-diagnosis of diseases and is a big challenge on image analysis tasks. This challenge related to the usage of methods and techniques in exploiting image processing result, pattern recognition result and classification methods and subsequently validating the image classification result into medical expert knowledge. The main objective of medical images classification is to reach high accuracy to identify the name of disease. It showed the improvement of image classification techniques such as to increase accuracy and sensitivity value and to be feasible employed for computer-aided-diagnosis are a big challenge and an open research.


Ideally, secure transmission of medical image data is one of the major challenges in health sector. The National Health Information Network has to protect the data in confidential manner. Storage is also one of the basic concern along with secure transmission. In this paper we propose an algorithm that supports confidentiality, authentication and integrity implementation of the scrambled data before transmitting on the communication medium. Before communication the data is compressed while keeping data encrypted. The research work demonstrate with simulation results. The results shows that the proposed work effectively maintains confidentiality, authentication and integrity. The experimental results evaluated medical image quality like PSNR, MSE, SC, and NAEetc.

In this paper, the authors propose a method for medical image retrieval in distributed systems to facilitate telemedicine. The proposed framework can be used by a network of healthcare centers, where some can be remotely located, assisting in diagnosis without the necessary transfer of patients. Security and confidentiality issues of medical data are expected, which are handled at the local site following the procedures and protocols of each institution. To make the search more effective, the authors introduce a distributed index based on features that are extracted from each image. Considering network bandwidth limitations and other restrictions that are associated with handling medical data, the images are processed locally and a pointer is distributed in the network. For the distribution of this pointer, the authors propose a function that maps the pointer of each image to a node with similar contents.
