Abstract:Technology breakthroughs in high-speed, high-capacity, and high performance desk-top computers and workstations make the possibility of integrating multimedia medical data to better support clinical decision making, computer-aided education, and research not only attractive, but feasible. To systematically evaluate results from increasingly automated image segmentation it is necessary to correlate them with the expert judgments of radiologists and other clinical specialists interpreting the images. These are contained in increasingly computerized radiological reports and other related clinical records. But to make automated comparison feasible it is necessary to first ensure compatibility of the knowledge content of images with the descriptions contained in these records. Enough common vocabulary, language, and knowledge representation components must be represented on the computer, followed by automated extraction of image-content descriptions from the text, which can then be matched to the results of automated image segmentation. A knowledge-based approach to image segmentation is essential to obtain the structured image descriptions needed for matching against the expert’s descriptions. We have developed a new approach to medical image analysis which helps generate such descriptions: a knowledge-based object-centered hierarchical planning method for automatically composing the image analysis processes. The problem-solving steps of specialists are represented at the knowledge level in terms of goals, tasks, and domain objects and concepts separately from the implementation level for specific representations of different image types, and generic analysis methods. This system can serve as a major functional component in incrementally building and updating a structured and integrated hybrid information system of patient data. This approach has been tested for magnetic resonance image interpretation, and has achieved promising results.

Abstract Medical image analysis is performed by analyzing images obtained by medical imaging systems to solve clinical problems. The purpose is to extract effective information and improve the level of clinical diagnosis. In recent years, automatic segmentation based on deep learning (DL) methods has been widely used, where a neural network can automatically learn image features, which is in sharp contrast with the traditional manual learning method. U-net is one of the most important semantic segmentation frameworks for a convolutional neural network (CNN). It is widely used in the medical image analysis domain for lesion segmentation, anatomical segmentation, and classification. The advantage of this network framework is that it can not only accurately segment the desired feature target and effectively process and objectively evaluate medical images but also help to improve accuracy in the diagnosis by medical images. Therefore, this article presents a literature review of medical image segmentation based on U-net, focusing on the successful segmentation experience of U-net for different lesion regions in six medical imaging systems. Along with the latest advances in DL, this article introduces the method of combining the original U-net architecture with deep learning and a method for improving the U-net network.

Background: Medical image analysis application has complex resource requirement. Scheduling Medical image analysis application is the complex task to the grid resources. It is necessary to develop a new model to improve the breast cancer screening process. Proposed novel Meta scheduler algorithm allocate the image analyse applications to the local schedulers and local scheduler submit the job to the grid node which analyses the medical image and generates the result sent back to Meta scheduler. Meta schedulers are distinct from the local scheduler. Meta scheduler and local scheduler have the aim at resource allocation and management. Objective: The main objective of the CDAM meta-scheduler is to maximize the number of jobs accepted. Methods: In the beginning, the user sends jobs with the deadline to the global grid resource broker. Resource providers sent information about the available resources connected in the network at a fixed interval of time to the global grid resource broker, the information such as valuation of the resource and number of an available free resource. CDAM requests the global grid resource broker for available resources details and user jobs. After receiving the information from the global grid resource broker, it matches the job with the resources. CDAM sends jobs to the local scheduler and local scheduler schedule the job to the local grid site. Local grid site executes the jobs and sends the result back to the CDAM. Success full completion of the job status and resource status are updated into the auction history database. CDAM collect the result from all local grid site and return to the grid users. Results: The CDAM was simulated using grid simulator. Number of jobs increases then the percentage of the jobs accepted also decrease due to the scarcity of resources. CDAM is providing 2% to 5% better result than Fair share Meta scheduling algorithm. CDAM algorithm bid density value is generated based on the user requirement and user history and ask value is generated from the resource details. Users who, having the most significant deadline are generated the highest bid value, grid resource which is having the fastest processor are generated lowest ask value. The highest bid is assigned to the lowest Ask it means that the user who is having the most significant deadline is assigned to the grid resource which is having the fastest processor. The deadline represents a time by which the user requires the result. The user can define the deadline by which the results are needed, and the CDAM will try to find the fastest resource available in order to meet the user-defined deadline. If the scheduler detects that the tasks cannot be completed before the deadline, then the scheduler abandons the current resource, tries to select the next fastest resource and tries until the completion of application meets the deadline. CDAM is providing 25% better result than grid way Meta scheduler this is because grid way Meta scheduler allocate jobs to the resource based on the first come first served policy. Conclusion: The proposed CDAM model was validated through simulation and was evaluated based on jobs accepted. The experimental results clearly show that the CDAM model maximizes the number of jobs accepted than conventional Meta scheduler. We conclude that a CDAM is highly effective meta-scheduler systems and can be used for an extraordinary situation where jobs have a combinatorial requirement.
