Deep Learning in Medical Imaging

Medical image processing tools play an important role in clinical routine in helping doctors to establish whether a patient has or does not have a certain disease. To validate the diagnosis results, various clinical parameters must be defined. In this context, several algorithms and mathematical tools have been developed in the last two decades to extract accurate information from medical images or signals. Traditionally, the extraction of features using image processing from medical data are time-consuming which requires human interaction and expert validation. The segmentation of medical images, the classification of medical images, and the significance of deep learning-based algorithms in disease detection are all topics covered in this chapter.
