Abstract

Progress made in medical imaging technologies has led to the creation of complex algorithms in machine learning that improve diagnostics. This chapter offers a brief understanding of how machine learning techniques are applied to medical images. The main techniques discussed are convolutional neural networksconvolutional neural networks, support vector machines, and deep learning architectures; examples of their use in image classification, segmentation, and anomaly detection are given. The investigation incorporates a new algorithmic development that solves computational concerns such as time complexity, interclass variance, and high-dimensional data modeling. The overall applicability of these algorithms in clinical settings was also established through examples that focus on the relative improvements in patient status and diagnostic performance. In this chapter, the author provides useful information to practitioners and researchers in the field of medical imaging to reduce the gap in knowledge between theory developmenttheory development and application.
