A systematic review: Deep learning-based methods for pneumonia region detection
It addresses the need for efficient and accurate pneumonia detection, a critical global health issue, but is incremental as it reviews existing methods without introducing new approaches.
This review paper systematically examines existing deep learning methods for detecting pneumonia regions in medical images, summarizing their datasets, techniques, outcomes, and limitations to facilitate future improvements in diagnosis.
Pneumonia disease is one of the leading causes of death among children and adults worldwide. In the last ten years, computer-aided pneumonia detection methods have been developed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the diagnosis process. Among those methods, the effects of deep learning approaches surpassed that of other traditional machine learning methods. This review paper searched and examined existing mainstream deep-learning approaches in the detection of pneumonia regions. This paper focuses on key aspects of the collected research, including their datasets, data processing techniques, general workflow, outcomes, advantages, and limitations. This paper also discusses current challenges in the field and proposes future work that can be done to enhance research procedures and the overall performance of deep learning models in detecting, classifying, and localizing infected regions. This review aims to offer an insightful summary and analysis of current research, facilitating the development of deep learning approaches in addressing treatable diseases.
