Medical image management and analysis system based on web for fungal keratitis images

Abstract

The medical image management and analysis system proposed in this paper is a medical software developed by the Browser/Server (B/S) architecture after investigating the workflow of the relevant departments of the hospital, which realizes the entire process of patients from consultation to printing of reports. The computer-aided diagnosis function is added based on image management. Due to the difficulty in collecting medical image data, in the computer-aided diagnosis module, this paper only uses the common fungal keratitis collected from the hospital in the laboratory. Focused microscope images are used for experiments. First, the images were trained with three convolutional neural networks, AlexNet, ZFNet, and VGG16. These models which classify fungal keratitis were obtained and integrated was performed to obtain better classification results. Finally, the model was integrated with the system designed in this paper, which realized the automatic diagnosis of Confocal Microscopy (CM) images of fungal keratitis online and provided it to medical staff for reference. The system can improve the work efficiency of the image-related departments while reducing the workload of doctors in the department to manually read the films.
