Abstract

Deep learning (DL) approaches are part of the machine learning (ML) subfield concerned with the development of computational models to train artificial intelligence systems. DL models are characterized by automatically extracting high-level features from the input data to learn the relationship between matching datasets. Thus, its implementation offers an advantage over common ML methods that often require the practitioner to have some domain knowledge of the input data to select the best latent representation. As a result of this advantage, DL has been successfully applied within the medical imaging field to address problems, such as disease classification and tumor segmentation for which it is difficult or impossible to determine which image features are relevant. Therefore, taking into consideration the positive impact of DL on the medical imaging field, this article reviews the key concepts associated with its evolution and implementation. The sections of this review summarize the milestones related to the development of the DL field, followed by a description of the elements of deep neural network and an overview of its application within the medical imaging field. Subsequently, the key steps necessary to implement a supervised DL application are defined, and associated limitations are discussed.
