This research presents an innovative framework that uses blockchain technology to improve tumor segmentation in medical imaging. The approach tackles issues related to data security, particularly when dealing with real private dataset, annotation accuracy, and collaboration. With the growing reliance of the medical industry on accurate tumor segmentation from medical images for cancer diagnosis and treatment, current methods are inadequate in maintaining data accuracy and promoting collaboration among experts across different countries. Our suggested approach utilizes blockchain technology to establish a decentralized, secure platform for the collaborative obtaining, annotation, and validation of medical
images by data scientists, oncologists, and radiologists. Smart
contracts streamline essential procedures such as verification of
annotations, consensus among experts, and remuneration of
contributors, guaranteeing the dependability and excellence of
the data. Furthermore, the unchangeable record of transactions
in the blockchain ensures a reliable basis for implementing
artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This
improves the accuracy of segmenting data and allows for
predictive modeling. This strategy not only improves the
precision and effectiveness of tumor segmentation but also
promotes a worldwide collaborative environment, which has the
potential to revolutionize cancer diagnostics and treatment
planning. Furthermore, it ensures the privacy and security of
patient data.
