Artificial Neural Networks for Diagnosis of Diseases
Description
Artificial neural networks provide a powerful tool to help doctors analyze, model, and make sense of complex clinical data across a broad range of medical applications. Most applications of artificial neural networks in medicine are classification problems. An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model that attempts to account for the parallel nature of the human brain. It is a network of highly interconnected processing elements (neurons) operating in parallel. These elements are inspired by biological nervous systems.
Medical diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks and computer-aided diagnosis with deep learning, is currently a very active research area in medicine and it is believed that it will be more widely used in biomedical systems. Evolving neural network techniques for medical diagnosis are broadly considered since they are ideal in recognizing diseases using scans. Neural networks learn by example so the details of how to recognize the disease are not needed. For instance, the utilization of deep learning-based ANN models aids in the timely diagnosis of gastric cancer with sensitivity and specificity. Advances in deep learning-based ANN models achieve efficacy, accuracy, and reliability in diagnosis. The utilization of other evolving technologies in this field is key for better diagnosis, having a significant impact on preventive measures and treatment. Despite the great benefits of novel technologies in healthcare, patients need protection from defective diagnoses to create a promising future in medical applications within society.
