An Analysis of Algorithms and Methods Based on Image Processing for Medical Applications

Abstract

Image processing has become more crucial in medical applications due to its ability to collect and evaluate data from medical images. This book chapter provides an overview of various image processing techniques used for medical applications, including deep learning algorithms, segmentation techniques, and a combination of both. Additionally, the authors discuss other studies that analysed X-rays and used image processing to identify cancer, brain tumours, and other disorders. The results of the study demonstrate how image processing techniques have the potential to significantly improve sickness detection speed and accuracy, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment. The planning of therapies and the accuracy of diagnoses can both be enhanced by the use of image processing tools. Healthcare workers' ability to recognise and manage a variety of medical conditions will undoubtedly increase.
