A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
Multi-pooling 3D Convolutional Neural Network for fMRI Classification of Visual Brain States
Neural decoding of visual object classification via functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) data is challenging and is vital to understand
underlying brain mechanisms. This paper proposed a multi-pooling 3D
convolutional neural network (MP3DCNN) to improve fMRI classification accuracy.
MP3DCNN is mainly composed of a three-layer 3DCNN, where the first and second
layers of 3D convolutions each have a branch of pooling connection. The results
showed that this model can improve the classification accuracy for categorical
(face vs. object), face sub-categorical (male face vs. female face), and object
sub-categorical (natural object vs. artificial object) classifications from
1.684% to 14.918% over the previous study in decoding brain mechanisms
Towards Practical Application of Deep Learning in Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
Accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is both challenging and time
consuming. With a systematic approach for early detection and diagnosis of AD,
steps can be taken towards the treatment and prevention of the disease. This
study explores the practical application of deep learning models for diagnosis
of AD. Due to computational complexity, large training times and limited
availability of labelled dataset, a 3D full brain CNN (convolutional neural
network) is not commonly used, and researchers often prefer 2D CNN variants. In
this study, full brain 3D version of well-known 2D CNNs were designed, trained
and tested for diagnosis of various stages of AD. Deep learning approach shows
good performance in differentiating various stages of AD for more than 1500
full brain volumes. Along with classification, the deep learning model is
capable of extracting features which are key in differentiating the various
categories. The extracted features align with meaningful anatomical landmarks,
that are currently considered important in identification of AD by experts. An
ensemble of all the algorithm was also tested and the performance of the
ensemble algorithm was superior to any individual algorithm, further improving
diagnosis ability. The 3D versions of the trained CNNs and their ensemble have
the potential to be incorporated in software packages that can be used by
physicians/radiologists to assist them in better diagnosis of AD.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
