Nowadays by growing the number of available medical imaging data, there is a great demand towards computational systems for image processing which can help with the task of detection and diagnosis. Early detection of abnormalities using computational systems can help doctors to plan an effective treatment program for the patient. The main challenge of medical image processing is the automatic computerized detection of a region of interest. In recent years in order to improve the detection speed and increase the accuracy rate of ROI detection, different models based on the human vision system, have been introduced. In this paper, we have provided a brief description of recent works which mostly used visual models, in medical image processing and finally, a conclusion is drawn about open challenges and required research in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
