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

A Systematic Survey of Classification Algorithms for Cancer Detection

Cancer is a fatal disease induced by the occurrence of a count of inherited issues and also a count of pathological changes. Malignant cells are dangerous abnormal areas that could develop in any part of the human body, posing a life-threatening threat. To establish what treatment options are available, cancer, also referred as a tumor, should be detected early and precisely. The classification of images for cancer diagnosis is a complex mechanism that is influenced by a diverse of parameters. In recent years, artificial vision frameworks have focused attention on the classification of images as a key problem. Most people currently rely on hand-made features to demonstrate an image in a specific manner. Learning classifiers such as random forest and decision tree were used to determine a final judgment. When there are a vast number of images to consider, the difficulty occurs. Hence, in this paper, weanalyze, review, categorize, and discuss current breakthroughs in cancer detection utilizing machine learning techniques for image recognition and classification. We have reviewed the machine learning approaches like logistic regression (LR), Naïve Bayes (NB), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), decision tree (DT), and Support Vector Machines (SVM)

Deep Learning in Cardiology

The medical field is creating large amount of data that physicians are unable to decipher and use efficiently. Moreover, rule-based expert systems are inefficient in solving complicated medical tasks or for creating insights using big data. Deep learning has emerged as a more accurate and effective technology in a wide range of medical problems such as diagnosis, prediction and intervention. Deep learning is a representation learning method that consists of layers that transform the data non-linearly, thus, revealing hierarchical relationships and structures. In this review we survey deep learning application papers that use structured data, signal and imaging modalities from cardiology. We discuss the advantages and limitations of applying deep learning in cardiology that also apply in medicine in general, while proposing certain directions as the most viable for clinical use.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figures, 10 table
