Liver Cancer Segmentation through Enhanced Feature Extraction and Mapping using Improved Transfer Learning Techniques

Abstract

The largest solid organ in the body is the liver. Numerous other vital functions it carries out include removing impurities from the blood flow, controlling blood coagulation, and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. All blood leaving the intestines and stomach is directed to the liver as its final destination. Liver illness may be brought on by infections, inherited diseases, cancer, too many harmful substances, or other conditions. Medical experts estimate that 1.6% of men and women in India could be diagnosed with liver cancer at some time in their life. The interpretation of liver CT scans often involves semi-manual or manual techniques; however these techniques are costly, time-consuming, subjective, and prone to error. To improve the detection of liver cancer, these issues have been addressed and a number of computer algorithms have been developed. To create a fully automated method for quickly extracting liver tumours from CT scan images.
