Deep Learning techniques to detect and analysis of multiple sclerosis through MRI: A systematic literature review

Deep learning (DL) techniques represent a rapidly advancing field within artificial intelligence, gaining significant prominence in the detection and analysis of various medical conditions through the analysis of medical data. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) focused on deep learning methods for the detection and analysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The initial search identified 401 articles, which were rigorously screened, a selection of 82 highly relevant studies. These selected studies primarily concentrate on key areas such as multiple sclerosis, deep learning, convolutional neural networks (CNN), lesion segmentation, and classification, reflecting their alignment with the current state of the art. This review comprehensively examines diverse deep-learning approaches for MS detection and analysis, offering a valuable resource for researchers. Additionally, it presents key insights by summarizing these DL techniques for MS detection and analysis using MRI in a structured tabular format.
