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.

Abstract Human disease identification from the scanned body parts helps medical practitioners make the right decision in lesser time. Image segmentation plays a vital role in automated diagnosis for the delineation of anatomical organs and anomalies. There are many variants of segmentation algorithms used by current researchers, whereas there is no universal algorithm for all medical images. This paper classifies some of the widely used medical image segmentation algorithms based on their evolution, and the features of each generation are also discussed. The comparative analysis of segmentation algorithms is done based on characteristics like spatial consideration, region continuity, computation complexity, selection of parameters, noise immunity, accuracy, and computation time. Finally, in this work, some of the typical segmentation algorithms are implemented on real-time datasets using Matlab 2010 software, and the outcome of this work will be an aid for the researchers in medical image processing.

Region-growing based image segmentation techniques, available for medical images, are reviewed in this paper. In digital image processing, segmentation of humans' organs from medical images is a very challenging task. A number of medical image segmentation techniques have been proposed, but there is no standard automatic algorithm that can generally be used to segment a real 3D image obtained in daily routine by the clinicians. Our criteria for the evaluation of different region-growing based segmentation algorithms are: ease of use, noise vulnerability, effectiveness, need of manual initialization, efficiency, computational complexity, need of training, information used, and noise vulnerability. We test the common region-growing algorithms on a set of abdominal MRI scans for the aorta segmentation. The evaluation results of the segmentation algorithms show that region-growing techniques can be a better choice for segmenting an object of interest from medical images.

Segmentation Accuracy

Medical image segmentation is one of the hot issues in the related area of image processing. Precise segmentation for medical images is a vital guarantee for follow-up treatment. At present, however, low gray contrast and blurred tissue boundaries are common in medical images, and the segmentation accuracy of medical images cannot be effectively improved. Especially, deep learning methods need more training samples, which lead to time-consuming process. Therefore, we propose a novelty model for medical image segmentation based on deep multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) in this article. First, we extract the region of interest from the raw medical images. Then, data augmentation is operated to acquire more training datasets. Our proposed method contains three models: encoder, U-net, and decoder. Encoder is mainly responsible for feature extraction of 2D image slice. The U-net cascades the features of each block of the encoder with those obtained by deconvolution in the decoder under different scales. The decoding is mainly responsible for the upsampling of the feature graph after feature extraction of each group. Simulation results show that the new method can boost the segmentation accuracy. And, it has strong robustness compared with other segmentation methods.

Medical image segmentation can be divided into two categories: one is the region of interest (ROI) identification; the other is the description of the integrity and the extraction of interest region. The emergence of the level set method greatly promoted the development of medical image segmentation. This paper studies three different level set segmentation algorithm to achieve the effective segmentation for brain gray matter and white matter of MRI image.

Training And Pruning

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.
