About this Research Topic
The advent of deep learning (DL) has brought about significant innovations in a plethora of biomedical image-processing techniques, distinguishing itself with a unique data-driven approach. In a relatively short span of time, DL has enjoyed considerable success, substantially improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic processes within clinical medicine.
Researchers, armed with DL algorithms, have been able to more precisely identify and annotate structures and lesions present in medical images. DL models—mainly those built on convolutional neural networks (CNNs)— have shown remarkable outcomes in tasks such as image segmentation, detection, classification, and feature extraction. These outcomes provide healthcare practitioners with a more comprehensive and accurate view of image data, thus promoting more precise disease analysis and diagnosis.
Medical images are a rich source of data, much of which remains untapped by traditional image processing methods. DL models, however, have the capacity to learn intricate feature representations for improved early disease diagnosis. A case in point is tumor detection, where DL algorithms can autonomously identify tumor shape, size, and location, thereby aiding doctors in delivering faster and more accurate diagnoses.
Moreover, DL has proven to be a valuable asset in actual treatment processes. Personalized medicine—a field of growing interest— stands to benefit greatly from deep learning. Through the analysis of patients' medical images and clinical data, DL models can provide individualized treatment plans, leading to improved treatment outcomes and minimized side effects. These remarkable strides give researchers a deeper insight into biophysical phenomena, and aid in the development of effective tools for computer-aided diagnosis and surgical guidance.
This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest research and development initiatives applying deep learning in biomedical image processing. We call upon scholars to contribute original research articles and review pieces.
Potential research topics may include, but aren't limited to:
1. Processing techniques for medical images
2. Biomedical image classification and segmentation using deep learning
3. Lesion target detection via medical images
4. Classification of lesion grade and category in medical images using deep learning
5. Natural language processing and knowledge discovery in medical documentation
6. Biomedical image reconstruction
7. Automated or computer-aided disease analysis and diagnosis based on deep learning
