Semantic Segmentation of Medical Images with Deep Learning: Overview

Abstract

Semantic segmentation is one of the biggest challenging tasks in computer vision, especially in medical image analysis, it helps to locate and identify pathological structures automatically. It is an active research area. Continuously different techniques are proposed. Recently Deep Learning is the latest technique used intensively to improve the performance in medical image segmentation. For this reason, we present in this non-systematic review a preliminary description about semantic segmentation with deep learning and the most important steps to build a model that deal with this problem.
