Pragmatic Medical Image Analysis and Deep Learning: An Emerging Trend

Advancement of Machine Intelligence in Interactive Medical Image Analysis

Abstract

Medical domain is of paramount importance and perhaps it is a high priority sector. A lot of concern is still required in this domain. Indeed, in majority of cases, the medical data is interpreted by human expert while analysis of medical data is quite strenuous and complicated task. Often, discrete analysis is performed by different human experts which results in inaccurate detection of disease. The excellent performance of deep learning (DL) in different realms attracted the researchers to apply this technique within the purview of medical domain as DL provides great precision and accuracy in final output. Therefore, it has been visualized as a core technique for medical image analysis and in other streams of the healthcare sector. It is an obvious fact that in medical image engineering (MIE), image analysis plays the vital role. Further, segmentation process is the fundamental, effective, and core step of the medical image analysis (MIA). Researchers are consistently striving to augment the accuracy of medical image analysis. In recent past, machine intelligence-based techniques have widely been used for this pursuit. The recent trend in the realm of medical image analysis is the implication of deep learning-based approaches. Perhaps, the application of deep learning enhances the predictive accuracies of the human being. Moreover, it also mitigates the intervention of human experts in the diagnosis phenomenon. In this chapter, authors prelude the rudiments of medical imaging as well as architectural view of neural network and DL. Moreover, different flamboyant features of DL over machine learning (ML) within the sphere of MIE are also critically analyzed. In addition, this chapter also includes the structural nuances of convolutional neural network (CNN). Furthermore, in this quest, the topic that “will deep learning be pragmatic in medical imaging?” is also discussed.
