Abstract

Automatic image segmentation and feature analysis play a crucial role in improving the accuracy and efficiency of disease diagnosis and treatment within modern medical practice. This study propose the use of the learning focal point (LFP) architecture, which is based on the LFP algorithm, to perform effective segmentation of medical images by dividing each image in the dataset into multiple meaningful zones. This zonal segmentation strategy enables the precise extraction of critical regions of interest that are most relevant for pathological analysis. The proposed approach is specifically applied to the detection of common pneumothorax in lung imaging, a condition that requires timely and accurate diagnosis. By concentrating on essential lung zones, the LFP architecture enhances the reliability and robustness of pneumothorax identification. The results demonstrate that this method has the potential to significantly assist clinicians by providing more accurate diagnostic support and facilitating earlier medical intervention, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
