Application of Nature—Inspired Algorithms in Medical Image Processing

Medical image processing plays an indispensable role in our day-to-day life, as every individual is dependent on it in some of the other aspects. The dependency is quite essential and acts as stepping stone to further advanced applications and scientific endeavors. To achieve better and efficient results the process itself is carried out in multiple phases. For performing segmentation and classification on medical images, in this chapter among the myriad options available in the advanced scientific and technological field, nature-inspired algorithms such as Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA) and Monkey Search Optimization Algorithm (MSO) is utilized. This chapter concludes with results and discussions of the optimization algorithms, along with a futuristic scope of the algorithm in the medical processing field.
