Neuroimage analysis and data processing from various neuro-imaging modalities have been a multidisciplinary research field for a long time. Numerous types of research have been carried out in the area for multiple applications of neuroimaging and intelligent techniques to make faster and more accurate results. Different modalities gather information for detecting, treating, and identifying various neurological disorders. Each modality generates different kinds of data, including images and signals. Applying artificial intelligence-based techniques for analysing the inputs from the neuroimaging modalities requires preprocessing. Preprocessing techniques are used to fine-tune the data for better results and the application of intelligent methods. Various techniques and pipelines/workflows (steps for preprocessing the data from the imaging modalities) have been developed and followed by multiple researchers for the preprocessing of neuroimaging data. The preprocessing steps include the steps followed in removing noisy data from the inputs, converting the data to a different format, and adding additional information to improve the performance of the algorithm on the data. In this chapter, we compare the various neuroimaging techniques, the type of data they generate and the preprocessing techniques that various researchers frequently use to process data to apply them in artificial intelligence-based algorithms for the classification, prediction, and prognosis of various neurological disorders.
Machine Learning has a significant role in each person’s daily life and plays a vital role in making life easier by contributing to various models where the machines learn and do the tasks better. Much research and development around machine learning algorithms and their applications are happening for classifying and clustering multiple types of data in several domains. Health care research also impacts machine learning in analysing different data for patients. Different types of image and Neuroimaging data analysis are the areas where a significant amount of research is happening with healthcare and machine learning. Neuroimaging data obtained from the imaging techniques like MRI, CT, fMRI, PET, and other techniques help doctors identify various disorders. Commonly studied diseases with the help of neuroimaging data include the disorders like Alzheimer’s, MCI, Parkinson’s Disease, and Autism. Machine learning algorithms are developed for the straightforward interpretation of neuroimaging data and identifying neurological disorders. Interpreting neuroimaging takes a lot of assumptions and risks by doctors; commonly used and developed Machine Learning models are CNN, SVM, ANN, and Deep CNN. The use of proper machine learning models can help doctors to validate their assumptions in critical conditions. The paper focuses on a survey of various approaches by researchers to bring out neuroimaging analysis models and identify effective models. The research also covers the multiple diseases and the best models available for detecting the disorders. This research aims to identify the challenges various researchers face while creating the models and the limitations of their models, and how machine learning algorithms could effectively analyse neuroimages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
