ABSTRACT
The tremendous success of machine learning algorithms at image recognition tasks in recent years
intersects with a time of dramatically increased use of electronic medical records and diagnostic
imaging. This review introduces the machine learning algorithms as applied to medical image
analysis, focusing on convolution neural networks, and emphasizing clinical aspects of the held.
The advantage of machine learning in an era of medical big data is that significant hierarchical
relationships within the data can be discovered algorithmically without laborious hand-crafting of
features. We cover key research areas and applications of medical image classification,
localization, detection, segmentation, and registration. We conclude by discussing research
obstacles, emerging trends, and possible future directions.
INDEX TERMS Convolutional neural networks, medical image analysis, machine learning,
deep learning.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT:
Machine learning algorithms have the potential to be invested deeply in all fields of
medicine, from drug discovery to clinical decision-making, significantly altering the way
medicine is practiced. The success of machine learning algorithms at computer vision tasks
in recent years comes at an opportune time when medical records are increasingly
digitalized. The use of electronic health records (EHR) quadrupled from 11.8% to 39.6%
among face-based physicians in the US from 2007 to 2012 [1]. Medical images are an
integral part of a patient's EHR and are currently analyzed by human radiologists, who are
limited by speed, fatigue, and experience. It takes years and great financial cost to train a
qualified radiologist, and some health- care systems outsource radiology reporting to lower-
cost countries such as India via teleradiology. A delayed or erroneous diagnosis causes
harm to the patient. Therefore, it is ideal for medical image analysis to be carried out by an
automated, accurate, and efficient machine learning algorithm.
2. Existing System
There is a myriad of imaging modalities, and the frequency of their use is increasing.
Smith-Bondman et al. [2] looked at imaging use from 1996 to 2010 across six large
integrated healthcare systems in the United States, involving 30.9 million imaging
examinations. The authors found that over the study period, CT, MRI, and PET usage
increased by 7.8%, 10%, and 57% respectively.

The symbolic AI paradigm of the 1970s led to the development of rule-based, expert
systems. One early implementation in medicine was the MYCIN system by Shurtleff [3],
which suggested different regimes of antibiotic therapies for patients. Parallel to these
developments, AI algorithms moved from heuristics-based techniques to manual,
handcrafted feature extraction techniques. and then to supervised learning techniques.
Unsupervised machine learning methods are also being researched, but the majority of the
algorithms from 2015-2017 in the published literature have employed supervised learning
methods.
3. Proposed System
Currently, CNNs are the most researched machine learning algorithms in medical
image analysis [4]. The reason for this is that CNNs preserve spatial relationships when
altering input images. As mentioned, spatial relationships are of crucial importance in
radiology, for example, in how the edge of a bone joins with muscle, or where normal lung
tissue interfaces with cancerous tissue. As shown in Fig. 2., a CNN takes an input image of
raw pixels and transforms it via Convolutional Layers, Recited Linear Unit (RELU)
Layers, and Pooling Layers. This feeds into a _nil Fully Connected Layer which assigns
class scores or probabilities, thus classifying the input into the class with the highest
probability.
