Breast tumor detection using multi-feature block based neural network by fusion of CT and MRI images

Abstract

Radiologists and clinicians must automatically examine breast and tumor locations and sizes accurately. In recent years, several neural network-based feature fusion versions have been created to improve medical image segmentation. Multi-modal image fusion photos may efficiently identify tumors. This work uses image fusion to identify computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging alterations. A Gauss-log ratio operator is recommended for difference image production. The Gauss-log ratio and log ratio difference image complement the objective of improving the difference map through image fusion. The feature change matrix extracts edge, texture, and intensity from each picture pixel. The final change detection map classifies feature vectors as “changed” or “unchanged” which has been mapped for high-resolution or low-resolution pixels. This paper proposes a multi-feature blocks (MFB) based neural network for multi-feature fusion. This neural network modeling approach globalizes pixel spatial relationships. MFB-based feature fusion also aims to capture channel interactions between feature maps. The proposed technique outperforms state-of-the-art approaches which have been discussed in detail in experimental results section.
