ResNet and its application to medical image processing: Research progress and challenges

Xu, Wanni, Fu, You-Lei, Zhu, Dongmei·2023·Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine

Abstract

Background and objective Deep learning, a novel approach and subset of machine learning, has drawn a growing amount of attention from computer vision researchers in recent years. This method has drawn a lot of interest because of its extraordinary ability to interpret medical pictures, especially when combined with residual neural networks, which have helped to progress the field.Methods In this paper, the following research is carried out on the residual network. First, the research status of ResNet in the medical field is introduced. The fundamental idea behind the residual neural network is then explained, along with the residual unit, its many structures, and the network architecture. Second, four aspects of the widespread use of residual neural networks in medical image processing are discussed: lung tumor, diagnosis of skin diseases, diagnosis of breast diseases, and diagnosis of diseases of the brain. Finally, the main issues and ResNet's future development in the area of processing medical images are discussed.Results In the area of medical graph processing, residual neural networks have made strides and have had success in the clinical auxiliary diagnosis of serious illnesses such as lung tumors, breast cancer, skin conditions, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Conclusion We thoroughly sorted out the most recent developments in residual neural network research and their use in medical image processing, which serves as a crucial point of reference for this field of study. It offers a helpful reference for further promoting the application and research of the ResNet model in the field of medical image processing by summarising the application status and issues of the ResNet model in the field of medical image processing and putting forwards some future development directions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
