Abstract

Medical imaging, specifically chest X-ray image analysis, is a crucial component of early disease detection and screening in healthcare. Deep learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have emerged as powerful tools for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in chest X-ray image analysis. These techniques have shown promising results in automating tasks such as classification, detection, and segmentation of abnormalities in chest X-ray images, with the potential to surpass human radiologists. In this review, we provide an overview of the importance of chest X-ray image analysis, historical developments, impact of deep learning techniques, and availability of labeled databases. We specifically focus on advancements and challenges in radiology report generation using deep learning, highlighting potential future advancements in this area. The use of deep learning for report generation has the potential to reduce the burden on radiologists, improve patient care, and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of chest X-ray image analysis in medical imaging.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
