Clinical Breast Imaging and Deep Learning Model for Image Malignancy Prediction Using Resource-Constrained Embedded Devices

Computer assisted diagnosis(CAD) of diseases provides more accurate and precise diagnostic reports towards better information regarding the medical condition of patients. A clinician can minimize the error by applying his experience acquired by practice, cognitive intuition or scientific research backed by laboratory reports and computer assisted medical image analysis. The findings by the experts based on the analysis of such data are crucial as the suggested treatment is dependent on evaluation at this stage. Machine learning techniques while applied in the medical field performs decision making by mimicking the steps performed by a medical expert in diagnosing the disease, but using algorithms rather intuitive. It brings out accurate medical data through analysis of images performed by computing devices that can reveal valuable information regarding the disease prognosis. Computer aided disease diagnosis with state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning offers seamless assistance in medical care with near human accuracy. Technology integrated medical support systems combined with sophisticated algorithms can reduce the number of false positive incidents as well as false negative cases. Convolutional neural network (CNN) models can be trained using handcrafted features to derive conclusive inferences for binary class as well as multi-class classification. Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported techniques in disease diagnosis provide assistance to medical experts in decision making by virtue of cloud based data analytics tools for storage and computing.
