Medical Application of Deep Learning

Abstract

Deep learning has a great potential in biotechnology and medicine. Development of the method gives usextracting meaningful information on drug discovery and medical care. Conceptual understanding of diseases, effectivenessof drugs, evaluation of recovery, telemedicine etc, could be realized from patient’s medical records, MRI and CT images,pathological images, DNA sequences. In this review, as a basis for aiming at the development of medical applications, weshould outline the nature and potential of deep learning. Difference form natural science has to be emphasized. Artificialintelligence（deep learning）is a method of categorization, expanding “recognition” which is the essence of diagnosis inmedical application.
