Abstract A new era for diagnosing and treating Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) relies on precise segmentation from medical images. Our research introduces a novel algorithm, the Modified-Net architecture, which integrates a broad spectrum of architectural components tailored to detect the intricate patterns and variances in DVT imaging data. Our work integrates advanced components such as dilated convolutions for larger receptive fields, spatial pyramid pooling for context, residual and inception blocks for multiscale feature extraction, and attention mechanisms for highlighting key features. Our framework enhances precision of DVT region identification, attaining an accuracy of 98.92%, with a loss of 0.0269. The model also validates sensitivity 96.55%, specificity 96.70%, precision 98.61%, dice 97.48% and Intersection over Union (IoU) 95.10% offering valuable insights into DVT segmentation. Our framework significantly improves segmentation performance over traditional methods such as Convolutional Neural Network , Sequential, U-Net, Schematic. The management of DVT can be improved through enhanced segmentation techniques, which can improve clinical observation, treatment planning, and ultimately patient outcomes.
