MRI AND IMAGE PROCESSING: ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND AI-BASED ANALYSIS IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS
Keywords:
Medical imaging plays a pivotal role in modern healthcare systems, enabling early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of various diseases. Among imaging modalities, MRI stands out due to its ability to provide high-resolution, multi-dimensional representations of soft tissues without ionizing radiation.Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a cornerstone in modern medical diagnostics due to its superior soft-tissue contrast and non-invasive nature. However, raw MRI data often contain noise, artifacts, and variability that complicate accurate interpretation. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of advanced image processing techniques applied to MRI, integrating both classical algorithms and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Special emphasis is placed on deep learning methods, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for feature extraction, segmentation, and classification tasks. A practical case study involving brain tumor detection using the BraTS dataset is examined to demonstrate real-world applicability. Key challenges such as data scarcity, model interpretability, and computational complexity are critically discussed. Finally, future directions including Explainable AI (XAI), multimodal data fusion, and real-time clinical deployment are outlined. The findings highlight that AI-enhanced MRI analysis significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and reproducibility in clinical settings.
