Abstract: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for medical image analysis has gained significant importance in contemporary health care systems. AI models assist physicians in diagnosing diseases based on medical images like x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasound scans with great precision and fast diagnosis. Nonetheless, medical datasets involve critical and sensitive data about patients, thus raising serious concerns regarding privacy protection in the context of AI applications. The exposure or unauthorized access of medical data can result in severe ethical and legal problems [2], [9], [16]. In this paper, we present a privacy-aware medical image analysis system based on the implementation of convolutional neural networks (CNN), PyTorch framework, Streamlit toolkit, and Differential Privacy technology. CNN is used to extract the features of the medical images automatically and classify the underlying diseases. PyTorch is used for developing the proposed model efficiently, and Streamlit provides a user-friendly interface for physicians. Moreover, the training process is implemented based on differential privacy in order to maintain the privacy of the data. [4], [5]. The proposed framework can support hospitals, diagnostic centers, and telemedicine systems in secure healthcare applications [6], [20].
