Cancer is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally and according to World Health Organization (WHO), the number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades. Early detection requires an accurate and reliable diagnosis which should also be able to distinguish benign and malignant tumors. A good detection approach should produce both low false positive (FP) rate and false negative (FN) rate. For instance, mammography is the best detection method of breast cancer available today. However, all kind of breast cancer can’t be detected by mammograms. In micro calcification cluster of breast cancer, the interpretations is very difficult. While in some dense tissues, and/ or skin thickening, MCCs areas are almost invisible to be seen by the examining radiologist. The sizes of micro calcification clusters (MCCs) are extremely tiny, typically in the range of 0.1mm- 1.0mm and the average is about 0.3mm, implying it can easily be overlooked by a radiologist. However, with the help of technologically advanced medical image analysis software the diagnosis are provided with high accuracy and specificity. Similarly, neurological disorders are the most challenging to diagnose, manage and monitor due to the complex nervous system. Diagnosis of neurological diseases and their treatments demand high precision, dedication and experience. Neuroimaging with the help of had been witnessed as a potential tool for the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or indications. Structural modalities such as computed tomography (CT) or the widely known magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and later functional imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) provide unprecedented insight in the internals of the brain. However, the medical image analytical software aids the radiologists in a variety of methods that range from preprocessing of the images (just after acquisition) to advanced deep-learning algorithms to identify disease-related patterns. Medical image analysis has great impacts on both clinical applications and scientific researches.
