Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms for Extraction of Stone from Kidney X-ray Image
摘要
Healthcare systems are gaining popularity because of the advancement of new technology aiding healthcare professional for diagnosis of disease from medical modalities. The detection and classification of disease using AI and its technologies are active research areas in the last decade. Radiologist usually detects stone from the kidney using different imaging like CT scan, MRI scan, and X-ray. For the detection of stone in kidney X-ray images, various segmentation and classification methods are used. These different classification and segmentation methods are used to reduce errors and time of healthcare professional in diagnosis of stone in X-ray image. In this paper, comparison of different algorithms like thresholding algorithm, contour-based algorithm, deep learning algorithms like U-Net, U-Net++, V-Net, V-Net++, and Transformer Net are used for segmentation of stone from kidney X-ray images. The thorough comparison of different deep learning architectures in diagnosing stone from kidney X-ray images is also made in this paper. Most of the papers work on classification of stone from different medical modalities before segmentation which cause data leakage problem. In this research paper, comparisons of different segmentation algorithms help in achieving higher accuracy and reduce the data leakage problem.
