17 Machine Learning Algorithms in the Handling of Ultrasonography Big Data for Disease Diagnosis and Prediction
17.1 Introduction
Ultrasound imaging, referred to as sonography, is a diagnostic methodology employed in medicine to produce images of internal body structures using high-frequency sound waves. The modality is non-invasive, safe, and painless, and doesn’t employ ionizing radiation, thus rendering it a suitable option for application in pregnancy and pediatric patients among others. During an ultrasound exam, a transducer (a small handheld device) is placed on the skin and emits high-frequency sound waves that ...
