Abstract Deep learning (DL) requires labeled data. Labeling medical images requires medical expertise, which is often a bottleneck. It is therefore useful to prioritize labeling those images that are most likely to improve a model's performance, a practice known as instance selection. Here we introduce ENRICH, a method that selects images for labeling based on how much novelty each image adds to the growing training set. In our implementation, we use cosine similarity between autoencoder embeddings to measure that novelty. We show that ENRICH achieves nearly maximal performance on classification and segmentation tasks using only a fraction of available images, and outperforms the default practice of selecting images at random. We also present evidence that instance selection may perform categorically better on medical vs. non-medical imaging tasks. In conclusion, ENRICH is a simple, computationally efficient method for prioritizing images for expert labeling for DL.

Brain tumor detection from MRI images is a challenging process due to high diversity in the tumor pixels of different peoples. Automatic detection has got wide spread acclaim because the manual detection by experts is time consuming and prone to error in judgment. Due to its high mortality rate, detection of tumor automatically is a new emerging technique in bio medical imaging. Here we present a review of few methods from simple thresholding to advanced deep learning methods for segmentation of tumor from MRI data. The segmentation of tumor methods is classified to image segmentation using gray level processing, machine learning and deep learning. The results of various methods are compared to find the best methods available. As medical imaging methods have improving day by day this review will help to understand emerging trends in brain tumor detection.

Deep learning (DL) is a special type of machine learning that attains great potency and flexibility by learning to represent input raw data as a nested hierarchy of essences and representations. DL consists of more layers than conventional machine learning that permit higher levels of abstractions and improved prediction from data. More abstract representations computed in terms of less abstract ones. The goal of this chapter is to present an intensive survey of existing literature on DL techniques over the last years especially in the medical imaging analysis field. All these techniques and algorithms have their points of interest and constraints. Thus, analysis of various techniques and transformations, submitted prior in writing, for plan and utilization of DL methods from medical image analysis prospective will be discussed. The authors provide future research directions in DL area and set trends and identify challenges in the medical imaging field. Furthermore, as quantity of medicinal application demands increase, an extended study and investigation in DL area becomes very significant.

Abstract A computational approach to optimal multivariate designs with respect to stratification and allocation is investigated under the assumptions of fixed total allocation, known number of strata, and the availability of administrative data correlated with thevariables of interest under coefficient-of-variation constraints. This approach uses a penalized objective function that is optimized by simulated annealing through exchanging sampling units and sample allocations among strata. Computational speed is improved through the use of a computationally efficient machine learning method such as K-means to create an initial stratification close to the optimal stratification. The numeric stability of the algorithm has been investigated and parallel processing has been employed where appropriate. Results are presented for both simulated data and USDA’s June Agricultural Survey. An R package has also been made available for evaluation.

Machine learning is a technique of parsing data, learning from that data, and then applying what has been learned to make informed decisions. Deep learning is actually a subset of machine learning. It technically is machine learning and functions in the same way, but it has different capabilities. The main difference between deep and machine learning is, machine learning models become well progressively, but the model still needs some guidance. If a machine learning model returns an inaccurate prediction, then the programmer needs to fix that problem explicitly, but in the case of deep learning, the model does it by itself. Automatic car driving system is a good example of deep learning. On other hand, Artificial Intelligence is a different thing from machine learning and deep learning. Deep learning and machine learning both are the subsets of AI.

<p class="0abstract"><strong>—</strong> Chest imaging diagnostics is crucial in the medical area due to many serious lung diseases like cancers and nodules and particularly with the current pandemic of Covid-19. Machine learning approaches yield prominent results toward the task of diagnosis. Recently, deep learning methods are utilized and recommended by many studies in this domain. The research aims to critically examine the newest lung disease detection procedures using deep learning algorithms that use X-ray and CT scan datasets. Here, the most recent studies in this area (2015-2021) have been reviewed and summarized to provide an overview of the most appropriate methods that should be used or developed in future works, what limitations should be considered, and at what level these techniques help physicians in identifying the disease with better accuracy. The lack of various standard datasets, the huge training set, the high dimensionality of data, and the independence of features have been the main limitations based on the literature. However, different architectures of deep learning are used by many researchers but, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are still state-of-art techniques in dealing with image datasets.</p>

Background: A variety of emerging medical imaging technologies based on artificial intelligence have been widely applied in many diseases, but they are still limited used in the cerebrovascular field even though the diseases can lead to catastrophic consequences. Objective: This work aims to discuss the current challenges and future directions of artificial intelligence technology in cerebrovascular diseases through reviewing the existing literature related to applications in terms of computer-aided detection, prediction and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods: Based on artificial intelligence applications in four representative cerebrovascular diseases including intracranial aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, arteriosclerosis and moyamoya disease, this paper systematically reviews studies published between 2006 and 2021 in five databases: National Center for Biotechnology Information, Elsevier Science Direct, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Web of Science and Springer Link. And three refinement steps were further conducted after identifying relevant literature from these databases. Results: For the popular research topic, most of the included publications involved computer-aided detection and prediction of aneurysms, while studies about arteriovenous malformation, arteriosclerosis and moyamoya disease showed an upward trend in recent years. For the algorithms, both conventional machine learning and deep learning algorithms were utilized in these publications, but machine learning techniques accounted for a larger proportion. Conclusion: Algorithms related to artificial intelligence, especially deep learning, are promising tools for medical imaging analysis and will enhance the performance of computer-aided detection, prediction and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

The rapid advancements in machine learning, graphics processing technologies and the availability of medical imaging data have led to a rapid increase in the use of deep learning models in the medical domain. This was exacerbated by the rapid advancements in convolutional neural network (CNN) based architectures, which were adopted by the medical imaging community to assist clinicians in disease diagnosis. Since the grand success of AlexNet in 2012, CNNs have been increasingly used in medical image analysis to improve the efficiency of human clinicians. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) CNNs have been employed for the analysis of medical images. In this paper, we trace the history of how the 3D CNN was developed from its machine learning roots, we provide a brief mathematical description of 3D CNN and provide the preprocessing steps required for medical images before feeding them to 3D CNNs. We review the significant research in the field of 3D medical imaging analysis using 3D CNNs (and its variants) in different medical areas such as classification, segmentation, detection and localization. We conclude by discussing the challenges associated with the use of 3D CNNs in the medical imaging domain (and the use of deep learning models in general) and possible future trends in the field.
