Big data analytics in medical imaging using deep learning

Big data has been one of the hottest topics of scientific discussions in the recent years. In early 2000s, an industry analyst attempted to describe big data as the three Vs: Volume, Velocity, and Variability. With the new technologies such as Hadoop, it is now feasible to store and use extremely large volumes of data that comes in at an unprecedented velocity. The variability of this data can be large as it can come in different formats such as text documents, voice or video, and financial transactions. Big data analytics has been proven to be useful is various fields such as science, sports, advertising, health care, genomic sequence data, and medical imaging. This study presents a brief overview of big data analytics in medical imaging approaches with considering the importance of contemporary machine learning techniques such as deep learning.
