Medical image segmentation is referred to the segmentation of known anatomic structures from different medical images. Normally, the medical data researches are more complicated and an exclusive structures. This computer aided diagnosis is used for assisting doctors in evaluating medical imagery or in recognizing abnormal findings in a medical image. To integrate the specialized knowledge for medical data processing is helpful to form a real useful healthcare decision making system. This paper studies the different symmetry based distances applied in clustering algorithms and analyzes symmetry approach for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan image segmentation. Unlike CT and MRI, the PET scan identifies the structure of blood flow to and from organs. PET scan also helps in early diagnosis of cancer and heart, brain and gastro intestinal ailments and to detect the progress of treatment. In this paper, the scope diagnostic task expands for PET image in various brain functions.
The Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan image requires expertise in the segmentation where clustering algorithm plays an important role in the automation process. The algorithm optimization is concluded based on the performance, quality and number of clusters extracted. This paper is proposed to study the commonly used K Means clustering algorithm and to discuss a brief list of toolboxes for reproducing and extending works presented in medical image analysis. This work is compiled using AForge .NET framework in windows environment and MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB 7.0.1)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan images are one of the bio medical imaging techniques similar to that of MRI scan images but PET scan images are helpful in finding the development of tumors.The PET scan images requires expertise in the segmentation where clustering plays an important role in the automation process.The segmentation of such images is manual to automate the process clustering is used.Clustering is commonly known as unsupervised learning process of n dimensional data sets are clustered into k groups so as to maximize the inter cluster similarity and to minimize the intra cluster similarity.This paper is proposed to implement the commonly used K Means and Fuzzy CMeans (FCM) clustering algorithm.This work is implemented using MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB) and tested with sample PET scan image. The sample data is collected from Alzheimers Disease Neuro imaging Initiative ADNI. Medical Image Processing and Visualization Tool (MIPAV) are used to compare the resultant images.
The information retrieval systems that are present nowadays are mainly based on full text matching of keywords or topic based classification. This matching of keywords often returns a large number of irrelevant information and this does not meet the users query requirement. In order to solve this problem and to enhance the search using semantic environment, a technique named ontology is implemented for the field of poultry in this paper. Ontology is an emerging technique in the current field of research in semantic environment. This paper constructs ontology using the tool named Protege version 4.0 and this also generates Resource Description Framework schema and XML scripts for using poultry ontology in web.
