Deep Convolution Neural Network for Big Data Medical Image Classification

Deep learning is one of the most unexpected machine learning techniques which is being used in many applications like image classification, image analysis, clinical archives and object recognition. With an extensive utilization of digital images as information in the hospitals, the archives of medical images are growing exponentially. Digital images play a vigorous role in predicting the patient disease intensity and there are vast applications of medical images in diagnosis and investigation. Due to recent developments in imaging technology, classifying medical images in an automatic way is an open research problem for researchers of computer vision. For classifying the medical images according to their relevant classes a most suitable classifier is most important. Image classification is beneficial to predict the appropriate class or category of unknown images. The less discriminating ability and domain-specific categorization are the main drawbacks of low-level features. A semantic gap that exists between features of low-level as machine understanding and features of human understanding as high-level perception. In this research, a novel image representation method is proposed where the algorithm is trained for classifying medical images by deep learning technique. A pre-trained deep convolution neural network method with the fine-tuned approach is applied to the last three layers of deep neural network. The results of the experiment exhibit that our method is best suited to classify various medical images for various body organs. In this manner, data can sum up to other medical classification applications which supports radiologist's efforts for improving diagnosis.
