The past few decades have witnessed a steep increase in image data analysis for lung cancer, leading to huge repositories in the area of research in the medical sector. Content Based medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) methods for lung cancer have been tried with the objective of facilitating access to image data. Many research works have been developed in content based medical image retrieval. But the techniques have the drawback of low efficiency and high computation cost. Image segmentation, extraction and classification methods of various kinds was taken upusing traditional methodswhich involves extraction of a specific region of interest and given to medical experts for diagnosis. The extracted region of interest region provides information useful for the for diagnosis of the disease. But the segmentation methods have some limitations such as flat valleys, noise sensitive and computational expensive which lead to reduction in the entire system performance. This is addressed by animproved watershed histogram thresholding using the probabilistic neural networks (IWHT-PNN) approach. The algorithm introduced outperforms the existing techniques improving the segmentation ratio and recognition accuracy of lung cancer which can be validated using experimental analysis. |
