Medical Image Recognition of Abdominal Organs by RBF GMDH-type Neural Network

Abstract

A Radial Basis Function (RBF) Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithm proposed in this paper is applied to the medical image recognition of abdominal X-ray CT images. The optimum neural network architecture for the medical image recognition is automatically organized using RBF GMDH-type neural network algorithm and the regions of abdominal organs such as the liver, stomach and spleen are recognized and extracted accurately.
