Ultrasound Medical Images Classification Based on Deep Learning Algorithms: A Review

Abstract

With the development of technology and smart devices in the medical field, the computer system has become an essential part of this development to learn devices in the medical field. One of the learning methods is deep learning (DL), which is a branch of machine learning (ML). The deep learning approach has been used in this field because it is one of the modern methods of obtaining accurate results through its algorithms, and among these algorithms that are used in this field are convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN). In this paper we reviewed what have researchers have done in their researches to solve fetal problems, then summarize and carefully discuss the applications in different tasks identified for segmentation and classification of ultrasound images. Finally, this study discussed the potential challenges and directions for applying deep learning in ultrasound image analysis.
