How to Use Semantic Image Segmentation Annotation for Medical Imaging Datasets?

AI in healthcare is becoming more imperative, with more precise detection of diseases through medical imaging datasets. That helps AI models how to learn and detect the different types of diseases through computer vision technology that is used mainly through machine learning.

And to make the medical imaging datasets usable for machine learning, different types of annotation techniques are used. Semantic image segmentation annotation technique is one of them used to annotate the objects for visual perception based AI models for more precise detection.

Semantic Segmentation Deep Learning in AI 

As, we know medical field is the sensitive sector, directly related to health of the people. Hence, relying on the machines based disease diagnosis and illness prediction, becomes more cautious, especially in terms of accuracy, so that machines can help doctors take timely and right decision for the treatment.      

And for that, the object of interest (infection affected organ or body parts) in medical images, should be labeled or annotated in such manner, so that deep learning algorithms can detect such symptoms or infection with highest level of accuracy while developing the AI model.

Semantic Segmentation for Image in Single Class

Though, there are various image annotation techniques used to develop the AI model with the help of machine learning. Bounding Box, polygon annotation, cuboid annotation and many more. But semantic segmentation, is one the most illustrative technique, that can give machines the in-depth detection of such things with diseases classified and segmented in a single class.

Actually, medical image segmentation helps to identify the pixels of organs or lesions from background medical images such as CT or MRI images, which is one of the most challenging tasks in medical image analysis.

But provides critical information about the shapes and volumes of different organs diagnosed in radiology department. And semantic segmentation is mainly used for the image belongs to a single class to make them recognizable. 

Use of Semantic Segmentation for Medical Images 

Semantic segmentation image annotation can be used for annotating the different types of medical images like CT Scan, MRI and X-rays of different parts or organs of human body. Semantic segmentation helps to highlight or annotate the part of body organ that is only affected due to diseases.

The best advantage of using the semantic segmentation is, it can classify the objects through computer vision through three process – first classification, second object detection and third or last image segmentation, which actually helps machines to segment the affected area in a body parts.

Semantic segmentation can be used to annotate the different types of diseases like cancer, tumor and other deadly maladies that affects the different parts of the human body.

This high-accuracy image annotation technique can be used to annotate the X-rays of full body, kidney, liver, brain and prostate for accurate diagnosis of various disease. In these body parts, this annotation method helps to segment only the affected area, making it recognizable to ML algorithms.

Semantic segmentation can provide the true insight of the medical images to predict the similar diseases when used in real-life developed as an AI model. So, semantic segmentation can provide the best medical imaging datasets for deep learning or machine learning based AI models in healthcare.

Anolytics provides the semantic image segmentation annotation service to annotate the medical imaging datasets with high-level of accuracy. It is offering image annotation services working with well-trained and skilled annotators including highly-experienced radiologist to annotate the medical images for machine learning training making AI possible in healthcare with precise results.
