Convolutional neural networks

Acronym: CNN

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a type of DNN used to understand visual data. CNNs analyze images and extract features that they can use to classify images into categories. Classification is key in arenas like medical imaging, where a clinician will look at an image, such as a CT scan or an X-ray, to diagnose a variety of conditions. Implementing a CNN algorithm to assist with medical imaging tasks has the potential to improve clinical decision support and address issues related to population health.
