Paper Title : A narrative review of medical image processing by deep learning models: origin to COVID-19
Author Name : Mareeswari V, Vijayan R, Sathiyamoorthy E and Ephzibah E P
Abstract :

A rapid diagnostic system is a primary role in the healthcare system exclusively during a pandemic situation to control contagious diseases like coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Many countries remain lacking to spot COVID cases by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. On this stretch, deep learning algorithms have been strengthened the medical image processing system to analyze the infection, categorization, and further diagnosis. It is motivated to discover the alternate way to identify the disease using existing medical implications. Hence, this review narrated the character and attainment of deep learning algorithms at each juncture from origin to COVID-19. This literature highlights the importance of deep learning and further focused the medical image processing research on handling the data of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, and electromagnetic radiation (X-ray) images. Additionally, this systematic review tabulates the popular deep learning networks with operational parameters, peer-reviewed research with their outcomes, popular nets, and prevalent datasets, and highlighted the facts to stimulate future research. The consequence of this literature ascertains convolutional neural network-based deep learning approaches work better in the medical image processing system, and especially it is very supportive of sorting out the COVID-19 complications.
Keywords : Deep learning, Image processing, COVID-19, CT scan, X-ray image, Convolutional neural network (CNN), Neural nets, MRI scan, Diagnostic system, Healthcare.
