Is Computer-Vision the New Ground-Breaking Technology in the Medical Industry?

By MedTech Outlook | Monday, November 11, 2019

Computer vision plays a significant role in the medical industry. It enhances medical imaging analysis for precise predictions, but how?

FREMONT, CA: In today’s digital era, scientists are training machines through computer vision, which is supporting them in recognizing the object with an in-depth analysis of its different attributes. Computer vision is highly being used in ML and AI-based project developments.

Healthcare is a key sector where computer vision is playing a significant role in analyzing medical images and diagnosing different types of diseases accurately.

The following are some of the ways in which computer vision is used for medical diagnosis.

1. Ultrasound

This is the most widely used imaging technique to treat the people’s abdomen for the liver, kidney, and other organ functions. This technique is also utilized for pregnant women for fetus checkups and treatment in case of any complications.

A computer-vision ultrasound system can display more detailed results with accuracy by utilizing a large number of ultrasound images for training the medical imaging application, 

2. MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced level of medical imaging analysis for detecting multiple health problems such as bone structure, an issue in softer tissues or joints, and the circulatory system with enhanced details.

By utilizing the accurate image annotation methods like polygons or semantic segmentation, training is given to machines through computer vision to detect the clogged blood vessels and cerebral aneurysms.

3. X-Rays

X-rays are the most commonly used medical images in hospitals for identifying abnormalities, diagnosing the diseases, or organ damage of the human body. Here, computer-based vision is trained to classify the scanned results similar to radiologist doctors and diagnose the possible health problems in a single view.

4. CT Scans

CT scans display a more comprehensive pictorial representation of the body parts like chest, brain, and other parts. It helps in detecting the tumors, internal bleeding in the brain, or other organs and diagnosis of any life-threatening disease.

Here, the use of computer vision-based technology with a complete automated process increases the precision level of prediction. This machine-based technology can identify the details of the disease at minute levels, which is not visible to human eyes.

No wonder computer-vision has taken the medical industry to the whole next level. Scientists are constantly working on bringing more improvements in the technology to enable precise diagnosis through medical imaging. This will enhance the overall healthcare services.
