Medical imaging is becoming a vital component of war on cancer. Tremendous amounts of medical image data are captured and recorded in a digital format during cancer care and cancer research. Facing such an unprecedented volume of image data with heterogeneous image modalities, it is necessary to develop effective and efficient content-based medical image retrieval systems for cancer clinical practice and research. While substantial progress has been made in different areas of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) research, direct applications of existing CBIR techniques to the medical images produced unsatisfactory results, because of the unique characteristics of medical images. In this paper, we develop a new multimodal medical image retrieval approach based on the recent advances in the statistical graphic model and deep learning. Specifically, we first investigate a new extended probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis model to integrate the visual and textual information from medical images to bridge the semantic gap. We then develop a new deep Boltzmann machine-based multimodal learning model to learn the joint density model from multimodal information in order to derive the missing modality. Experimental results with large volume of real-world medical images have shown that our new approach is a promising solution for the next-generation medical imaging indexing and retrieval system.

Medical-image-based diagnosis is a tedious task‚ and small lesions in various medical images can be overlooked by medical experts due to the limited attention span of the human visual system, which can adversely affect medical treatment. However, this problem can be resolved by exploring similar cases in the previous medical database through an efficient content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) system. In the past few years, heterogeneous medical imaging databases have been growing rapidly with the advent of different types of medical imaging modalities. Recently, a medical doctor usually refers to various types of imaging modalities all together such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, and ultrasound, etc of various organs in order for the diagnosis and treatment of specific disease. Accurate classification and retrieval of multimodal medical imaging data is the key challenge for the CBMIR system. Most previous attempts use handcrafted features for medical image classification and retrieval, which show low performance for a massive collection of multimodal databases. Although there are a few previous studies on the use of deep features for classification, the number of classes is very small. To solve this problem, we propose the classification-based retrieval system of the multimodal medical images from various types of imaging modalities by using the technique of artificial intelligence, named as an enhanced residual network (ResNet). Experimental results with 12 databases including 50 classes demonstrate that the accuracy and F1.score by our method are respectively 81.51% and 82.42% which are higher than those by the previous method of CBMIR (the accuracy of 69.71% and F1.score of 69.63%).

This paper examines a hybrid pattern i.e. Local derivative Vector pattern and comparasion of this pattern over other different patterns for content-based medical image retrieval. In recent years Pattern-based texture analysis has significant popularity for a variety of tasks like image recognition, image and texture classification, and object detection, etc. In literature, different patterns exist for texture analysis. This paper aims at forming a hybrid pattern compared in terms of precision, recall and F1-score with different patterns like Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Local Derivative Pattern (LDP), Completed Local Binary Pattern (CLBP), Local Tetra Pattern (LTrP), Local Vector Pattern (LVP) and Local Anisotropic Pattern (LAP) which were applied on medical images for image retrieval. The proposed method is evaluated on different modalities of medical images. The results of the proposed hybrid pattern show biased performance compared to the state-of-the-art. So this can further extended with other pattern to form a hybrid pattern.

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is another yet broadly recognized method for distinguishing images from monstrous and unannotated image databases. With the improvement of network and mixed media headways ending up being increasingly famous, customers are not content with the regular information retrieval progresses. So nowadays, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is the perfect and fast recovery source. Lately, various strategies have been created to improve CBIR execution. Data clustering is an overlooked method of hiding formatting extraction from large data blocks. With large data sets, there is a possibility of high dimensionality Models are a challenging domain with both massive numerical accuracy and efficiency for multidimensional data sets. The calibration and rich information dataset contain the problem of recovery and handling of medical images. Every day, more medical images were converted to digital format. Therefore, this work has applied these data to manage and file a novel approach, the “Clustering (MHC) Approach Using Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval Hybrid.” This work is implemented as four levels. With each level, the effectiveness of job retention is improved. Compared to some of the existing works that are being done in the analysis of this work’s literature, the results of this work are compared. The classification and learning features are used to retrieve medical images in a database. The proposed recovery system performs better than the traditional approach; with precision, recall, F-measure, and accuracy of proposed method are 97.29%, 95.023%, 4.36%, and 98.55% respectively. The recommended approach is most appropriate for recuperating clinical images for various parts of the body.

AbstractThe inverse sonification problem is investigated in this article in order to detect hardly capturing details in a medical image. The direct problem consists in converting the image data into sound signals by a transformation which involves three steps - data, acoustics parameters and sound representations. The inverse problem is reversing back the sound signals into image data. By using the known sonification operator, the inverse approach does not bring any gain in the sonified medical imaging. The replication of the image already known does not help the diagnosis and surgical operation. In order to bring gains in the medical imaging, a new sonification operator is advanced in this paper, by using the Burgers equation of sound propagation. The sonified medical imaging is useful in interpreting the medical imaging that, however powerful they may be, are never good enough to aid tumour surgery. The inverse approach is exercised on several medical images used to surgical operations.

Deep learning requires a large amount of data to perform well. However, the field of medical image analysis suffers from a lack of sufficient data for training deep learning models. Moreover, medical images require manual labeling, usually provided by human annotators coming from various backgrounds. More importantly, the annotation process is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to errors. Transfer learning was introduced to reduce the need for the annotation process by transferring the deep learning models with knowledge from a previous task and then by fine-tuning them on a relatively small dataset of the current task. Most of the methods of medical image classification employ transfer learning from pretrained models, e.g., ImageNet, which has been proven to be ineffective. This is due to the mismatch in learned features between the natural image, e.g., ImageNet, and medical images. Additionally, it results in the utilization of deeply elaborated models. In this paper, we propose a novel transfer learning approach to overcome the previous drawbacks by means of training the deep learning model on large unlabeled medical image datasets and by next transferring the knowledge to train the deep learning model on the small amount of labeled medical images. Additionally, we propose a new deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model that combines recent advancements in the field. We conducted several experiments on two challenging medical imaging scenarios dealing with skin and breast cancer classification tasks. According to the reported results, it has been empirically proven that the proposed approach can significantly improve the performance of both classification scenarios. In terms of skin cancer, the proposed model achieved an F1-score value of 89.09% when trained from scratch and 98.53% with the proposed approach. Secondly, it achieved an accuracy value of 85.29% and 97.51%, respectively, when trained from scratch and using the proposed approach in the case of the breast cancer scenario. Finally, we concluded that our method can possibly be applied to many medical imaging problems in which a substantial amount of unlabeled image data is available and the labeled image data is limited. Moreover, it can be utilized to improve the performance of medical imaging tasks in the same domain. To do so, we used the pretrained skin cancer model to train on feet skin to classify them into two classes—either normal or abnormal (diabetic foot ulcer (DFU)). It achieved an F1-score value of 86.0% when trained from scratch, 96.25% using transfer learning, and 99.25% using double-transfer learning.

Image has become more and more difficult to process for human beings. Perfect results cannot be obtained through Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR). The CBMIR was implemented to find order effectively retrieve the picture from an enormous database. Deep learning has taken Artificial Intelligence (AI) at an unprecedented rate through revolution and infiltration in the medical field. It has access to vast quantities of information computing energy of effective algorithms of Machine Learning (ML). It enables Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to attain outcomes nearly every Deep Learning (DL) problems. It helps ANN to achieve results everywhere. It is a difficult task to obtain medical images from an anatomically diff dataset. The goal of the research is to automate the medical image recovery scheme that incorporates subject and place probabilities to improve efficiency. It is suggested to integrate the different data or phrases into a DL location model. It is also measuring a fresh metric stance called weighted accuracy (wPrecision). The experiment will be conducted on two big medical image datasets revealing that the suggested technique outperforms current medical imaging technologies in terms of accuracy and mean accuracy. The CBMIR have about 8,000 pictures, the proposed technique will attain excellent precision (nearly 90 percent). The proposed scheme will attain greater precision for the top ten pictures (97.5 percent) as compared to the last CBMIR recovery technologies with 15,000 picture dataset. It will assist doctors with better accuracy in obtaining medical images.


Medical image analysis will be used to develop image retrieval system to provide access to image databases using extracted features. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is used for retrieving similar images from image databases. During the last few years, medical images are grown and used for medical image analysis. Here, we are proposed that medical image retrieval using two dimensional Principal Component Analysis (2DPCA). For extracting medical image features, 2DPCA has advantageous that evaluates accurate covariance matrix easily as much smaller and also requires less time for finding Eigen vectors. Medical image reconstruction is performed with increased values of 2DPCA and observed from results that reconstruction accuracy improves with increase of principal component values. Retrieval is performed for transformed image space by calculating the Euclidean Distance(ED) between 2DPCA values of unknown images with database images. Minimum distance classifier is used for retrieval, which is simple classifier. Simulation results are reported by considering different medical images and showed that simulation results provide increased retrieval accuracy. Further, Segmentation of retrieved medical images is obtained using k-means clustering algorithm.

Medical images play an important role in the hospital diagnosis and treatment, which include a lot of valuable medical information. Manually annotated viewing is obviously not effective in managing large amounts of medical imaging data. Hence it is an important task to establish an efficient and accurate medical image retrieval system. In this paper, a medical image retrieval approach based on Hausdorff distance combining Tamura texture features and wavelet transform algorithm is proposed. The combination of Tamura texture features and wavelet transform features can extract the texture features of medical images more effectively, and Hausdorff distance can reflect the overall similarity of medical image feature set. In this paper, 6 group experiments of brain MRI database and the lung CT database were conducted separately. Experiments show that the proposed approach has higher accuracy than a single feature texture algorithm and is also higher than the approach of Tamura texture features and wavelet transform features combined with Euclidean distance.
