Application of Artificial Intelligence in the MRI Classification Task of Human Brain Neurological and Psychiatric...

Artificial intelligence (AI) for medical imaging is a technology with great potential. An in-depth understanding of the principles and applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) is fundamental for developing AI-based algorithms that can meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis and have excellent quality and efficiency. Moreover, a more comprehensive understanding of applications and opportunities would help to implement AI-based methods in an ethical and sustainable manner. This review first summarizes recent research advances in ML and DL techniques for classifying human brain magnetic resonance images. Then, the application of ML and DL methods to six typical neurological and psychiatric diseases is summarized, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Finally, the limitations of the existing research are discussed, and possible future research directions are proposed.
