Medical diagnosis and prognosis are challenging tasks due to subjectivity and inherent uncertainty in medical images. Inconsistencies in expert opinions can result in incorrect diagnoses. Neutrosophic theory, a mathematical framework that deals with imprecise or incomplete data, has shown promise in addressing the challenges posed by medical image processing. A neutrosophic theory approach is explored in this paper for de-noising and segmenting medical images. Neutrosophic theory has been utilized to represent the different degrees of truth in each piece of information, resulting in better performance in de-noising and segmentation tasks. Neutosophic theory presents a promising avenue for future investigation in medical image processing as shown in this study.
