scholarly journals An Insight Framework for Content based Medical Image Retrieval using Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Content Based Image Retrieval system is essentially proven techniques for retrieving the DICOM based images. DICOM format is use to acquire, store and shared medical images. Typically, retrieval of image under query upon the medical image databases is performed by fusing the low-level and high-level descriptors along with DCNN features. In this paper, DICOM image meta data are extracted by using dicom function and create the local database for reserve the information. To accomplish the initial search and retrieve the images by using extraction of Semantic information. The DICOM tags are extracted from the DICOM images and use DCNN feature to build a feature vector database. Subsequently prediction is done based on the by leveraging the convolution layers based on the meta data along with DCNN image features. This paper attempts to implement pre filter method to all DICOM images which further decrease the searching no of images, searching time and ultimately gives fast processing. DCNN based prediction model was constructed and finest results are accomplished. Average accuracy of precision and recall up to0.80 and 0.87 respectively is achieved based on precision value which would be suitable for high quality image retrieval based on semantic information confined in the image.

As the technology growth fuelled by low cost tech in the areas of compute, storage the need for faster retrieval and processing of data is becoming paramount for organizations. The medical domain predominantly for medical image processing with large size is critical for making life critical decisions. Healthcare community relies upon technologies for faster and accurate retrieval of images. Traditional, existing problem of efficient and similar medical image retrieval from huge image repository are reduced by Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) . The major challenging is an semantic gap in CBIR system among low and high level image features. This paper proposed, enhanced framework for content based medical image retrieval using DNN to overcome the semantic gap problem. It is outlines the steps which can be leveraged to search the historic medical image repository with the help of image features to retrieve closely relevant historic image for faster decision making from huge volume of database. The proposed system is assessed by inquisitive amount of images and the performance efficiency is calculated by precision and recall evaluation metrics. Experimental results obtained the retrieval accuracy is 79% based on precision and recall and this approach is preformed very effectively for image retrieval performance.


Image is an important medium for monitoring the treatment responses of patient’s diseases by the physicians. There could be a tough task to organize and retrieve images in structured manner with respect to incredible increase of images in Hospitals. Text based image retrieval may prone to human error and may have large deviation across different images. Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval(CBMIR) system plays a major role to retrieve the required images from the huge database.Recent advances in Deep Learning (DL) have made greater achievements for solving complex problems in computer vision ,graphics and image processing. The deep architecture of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can combine the low-level features into high-level features which could learn the semantic representation from images. Deep learning can help to extract, select and classify image features, measure the predictive target and gives prediction models to assist physician efficiently. The motivation of this paper is to provide the analysis of medical image retrieval system using CNN algorithm.

The content based image retrieval system retrieves relevant images based on image features. The lack of performance in the content based image retrieval system is due to the semantic gap. Image annotation is a solution to bridge the semantic gap between low-level content features and high-level semantic concepts Image annotation is defined as tagging images with a single or multiple keywords based on low-level image features. The major issue in building an effective annotation framework is the integration of both low level visual features and high-level textual information into an annotation model. This chapter focus on new statistical-based image annotation model towards semantic based image retrieval system. A multi-label image annotation with multi-level tagging system is introduced to annotate image regions with class labels and extract color, location and topological tags of segmented image regions. The proposed method produced encouraging results and the experimental results outperformed state-of-the-art methods

The excellent feature extraction ability of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) has been demonstrated in many image processing tasks, by which image classification can achieve high accuracy with only raw input images. However, the specific image features that influence the classification results are not readily determinable and what lies behind the predictions is unclear. This study proposes a method combining the Sobel and Canny operators and an Inception module for ship classification. The Sobel and Canny operators obtain enhanced edge features from the input images. A convolutional layer is replaced with the Inception module, which can automatically select the proper convolution kernel for ship objects in different image regions. The principle is that the high-level features abstracted by the DCNN, and the features obtained by multi-convolution concatenation of the Inception module must ultimately derive from the edge information of the preprocessing input images. This indicates that the classification results are based on the input edge features, which indirectly interpret the classification results to some extent. Experimental results show that the combination of the edge features and the Inception module improves DCNN ship classification performance. The original model with the raw dataset has an average accuracy of 88.72%, while when using enhanced edge features as input, it achieves the best performance of 90.54% among all models. The model that replaces the fifth convolutional layer with the Inception module has the best performance of 89.50%. It performs close to VGG-16 on the raw dataset and is significantly better than other deep neural networks. The results validate the functionality and feasibility of the idea posited.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) makes use of image features, such as color and texture, to index images with minimal human intervention. Content-based image retrieval can be used to locate medical images in large databases. This chapter introduces a content-based approach to medical image retrieval. Fundamentals of the key components of content-based image retrieval systems are introduced first to give an overview of this area. A case study, which describes the methodology of a CBIR system for retrieving digital mammogram database, is then presented. This chapter is intended to disseminate the knowledge of the CBIR approach to the applications of medical image management and to attract greater interest from various research communities to rapidly advance research in this field.
